#3 How do we know that the Great White isn't in place to deter would-be protestors for the soon to be built wind farm.....? any other 'excursion' by Jaws could be seen as a bonus..

#4 I don't think even Jaws would want a taste of some of the hippie's I've seen. Even he has standards.

#5 In 2010, he twice postponed a planned visit to Indonesia and Australia to deal with pressing domestic issues. He eventually made it to Indonesia, while Australia is still waiting for its visit.

So many places to visit; so little time.

#6 "Australia is still waiting for its visit."

Lucky Australia. With more luck, you'll have to wait until 2012 when he can visit as a private citizen.

#7 Barbara, unfortunately, unless he resigns or gets impeached and convicted, he won't be a private citizen until at least January 2013.

#9 Australia has quite a few good golf courses.

It doesn't have a moonbarking-mad leftist, or Islamic, government.

That seems to be the primary requirement.

* TOPIX > TAIJIKISTAN [Counter-Terror]OFFICIAL: MANY IN PAKISTAN GOVT. KNEW WHERE BIN LADEN WAS.

Its in line wid what AFGHANISTAN = EX-AFGHAN SPY CHIEF says, espec as per...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > OSAMA BIN LADEN DEATH: AFGHANISTAN HAD ABBOTTABAD LINK FOUR YEARS AGO.

Afghan INTEL had many of their own Spies + Informants, etc. operatives in the region, + HAD NO DOUBTS THAT ISLAMABAD = PAK GOVT. KNEW + ALWAYS KNOWN WHERE OSAMA WAS, + WERE PROTECTING OSAMA FROM THE US-NATO/COALITION.
