Been talkin' to Zapatero, eh? Maybe to Howard Dean? John Kerry?

The Australian election does look spookily similar to Spain's. Only this time the opposition left know what the jihadis would like to do, and that it might well work to their advantage (after all, they're trailing in the polls, so what would they have to lose?). Wonder how long it'll be before there's actual collusion somewhere in the world between an 'anti-war'/pro-appeasement/pro-jihad opposition (or rogue elements of that opposition, or domestic opposition sympathisers) and foreign terrorists?

#5 The Aussies are stalwart and were one of the few allies who joined us in Vietnam (along with the sKors).

#6 Bulldog,

Not long. Here's the "No Logo" anti-global girl Naomi Klein arguing for just that, in the most prominent leftist publication in the US, no less: "It's time to bring Najaf to New York."

#7 There is one reason that I can accept for withdrawing troops from Iraq or Afghanistan during the WOT: that a new place has been discoverd where the troops can kill a greater number of terrorists.
