#1 As a US citizen, taxpayer & the wife of a retired US military officer, I was more than a little upset at this article. Either the Aussies involved need to report the "middle-ranking officer" for corruption or they need to publicly disavow this accusation. As in, immediately.

#2 rkb: The Herald sun is a rag. About as reliable as the National Equirer.

My sentiments exactly. As Australia is a member of the Coalition of the Willing, this is the sort of thing that could sour relations between the two countries.

Can't agree with you.
Sure the newspaper is lightweight, but it's not as loony left as the other papers, such as The Age.
Have you read their columnist, Andrew Bolt?
About as good as they come.

#6 Animal rights activists claimed the sheep would not be better off in Iraq.

They will not be loved as they would have been in Soddy Arabia.

#7 Wherever they end up (the sheep, not the Aussies), somebody's gonna cut their widdle thwoats. Better to let them die of thirst at sea, say the loons.
