| Australian PM to US Sailors : "We fight together" |
| 2007-07-05 |
| PRIME Minister John Howard has addressed about 300 sailors on board the US navy aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk, offering them a warm welcome to Sydney. Standing in front of a large US navy flag, The Navy Jack, Mr Howard spoke of the US navy's long association with Sydney. "Australians and Americans have fought together in defence of freedom and against threats to our way of life on many occasions," he told the sailors. "We continued to do it today and work together around the world defending our way of life and fighting terrorism." Directly after the speech, Mr Howard spoke with a number of the sailors who surrounded him and responded to his speech with an enthusiastic round of applause. |

#3 The western refugees won't be throwing flowers, they'll be swimming or riding on anything that will float, begging to be fished out & given asylum. The scenes will be like those at Smyrna/Izmir in 1922. "I left from Smyrna feeling deep shame just because I belonged to the human race" |

| #2 SuperHose, Its because we already know who are our real friends. But dont worry, just wait a few years till the muslims do their thingi in Europe and possibly some other continents and when the US Navy "visits" again, the western refugees will throw flowers on them. |

| #1 It must be confusing to the sailors to fell welcome. I always felt tolerated - except during a port of call to Haifa. |
