Foiled I say. Last week John Howard (great name) announced that Australia had intelligence that they were a target for a major terrorist attack. This week they arrest 15 possibly stopping an attack in the final stages of planning. My Aussie Cube mate says hold their head in the billabong till they are ready to talk.
Here we are dancing to some tune about roos and dangerous wallabies and stuff. Aussie folk are good Joes.

The Australians have by the truck load, that which Europe now lacks: pride and a deep seated belief in the defense of country.....They fit the true definition of "ally"
However, I'm still not ready to forgive them for unleashing Air Supply upon an unsuspecting world. Some wounds never heal.

Air Supply was a bad deal...but then again so was Hall and Oates.
Indonesia will be Australia's frontline. The vermin there are closer than they are to any other western nation...apart from the nations they have already infested.

Foiled! And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids...
Ya know, when the 'slamotards and liberals and other assorted scum decide to rise up here, I'm going to carve "Route Irish" in the flesh of every one I get my hands on.

The Australians have more balls than the British by a mile... perhaps the British have smoked so many fags that they are what they (eat)smoke!

....I gathered accounts of the use of phosphorus and napalm from a few Fallujah refugees whom I met before being kidnapped, says Manifesto reporter Giuliana Sgrena, who was kidnapped in Fallujah last February, in a recorded interview. I wanted to get the story out, but my kidnappers would not permit it....

Terroists =) What do you have against these peace-loving followers of Mother Earth?

Napalm against scum willing to behead innocents and bomb market places? The classics never go out of style. As for complaining about the "Wily Pete", someone's got their priorities seriously messed up. I wouldn't be as concerned about the phosphorous marker as the Maverick missile travelling a few seconds behind it.

Queen of England is also the Queen of Australia, Queen of Wales and at least at the moment Queen of Scotland and Northern Ireland, right? So, Australia is a part of Great Britain. Therefore, Aussies are Brits, so Brits have as much balls as Aussies.
The wrong way to use standardized logic? Indeed.

They have been our allies for over a century. And very good one. I had the good fortune to spend some time in the bush with some Aussie Rangers 37 years ago. Stout fellows. Strong believers is what today we call "Classical Liberalism"; we just called it common sense 37 years ago.

Tan me hide when I dead Fred tan me hide when I'm dead.
He died and we tanned is hyde and that's it hanging on the shed
Or something like that.
Grandpa some days tells old war stories. You don't mess with Brits or Aussies in the Phillipines he says they made Americans look like school boys. Japs would surrender and of course prisoners are a problem to take care of. Uh well they were not a problem for the Brits or Aussies they didn't take any and taught us a few lessons and why you don't. They slow you down and use up your food and keep you from fighting. The Americans would take some or use a bullet to the head. The Brits and Aussies said that was a waste of ammo and that is what your bayonette is for yankee.

In a guerilla-type war, prisoners are far more useful than in a conventional engagement, because dead men tell no tales, but live ones will sing like a bird when you clip the jumper cables onto their sack.

Read this and understand why the muslim scum must be driven from western society. Why do these pigs choose to live amongst us?
An Australian Muslim cleric who said Osama bin Laden was a "great man" has been named by police as the spiritual leader of a group of 16 men charged on Tuesday with planning a terrorist attack in Australia.
Abdul Nacer Benbrika, also known as Abu Bakr, has long been monitored by Australian authorities and grabbed headlines in August after he praised bin Laden, blamed for the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
He is a self-styled leader of a fundamentalist Islamic group of young followers in the suburbs of Australia's second-biggest city, Melbourne. Some of these followers, local radio reported, attended militant training camps in Asia.
"Osama Bin Laden, he is a great man," Benbrika, 45, told Australian Broadcasting Corp. (ABC) radio in August.
Following police raids in Sydney and Melbourne on Tuesday, Benbrika was charged with directing the activities of a terrorist organization and remanded in custody until January.
Benbrika's passport was confiscated in March on advice from the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, which then raided his Melbourne home in June, ABC radio has reported.
But Benbrika, a dual Australian/Algerian citizen who has at least six children and has lived in Melbourne since 1989, denied he was a security threat.
"I am not involved in anything here. I am teaching my brothers here the Koran and the Sunna, and I am trying my best to keep myself, my family, my kids and the Muslims close to this religion," he told the ABC, referring to the holy book and the code of conduct for Muslims.
Benbrika said he opposed anyone trying to harm his religion. He also said it was a "big problem" for Muslims reconciling their religion with life in Australia.
"There are two laws. There is Australian law. There is Islamic law," he said, adding the only law that needed to be spread was Islam.
"Jihad is part of my religion, and what you have to understand that anyone who fights for the sake of Allah ... (with) the first drop of blood that comes from him out, all his sin will be forgiven," he said.
Other Australian Muslim leaders have said Benbrika represented a minority view, and Prime Minister John Howard did not invite Benbrika to a summit of key Muslim leaders in August.

The only time the Aussies didn't serve alongside the Americans in the last hundred years was the Spanish-American war........Nuff said!

"Jihad is part of my religion, and what you have to understand that anyone who fights for the sake of Allah ... (with) the first drop of blood that comes from him out, all his sin will be forgiven,"
How about that? Maybe our Aussie brothers will arrange for the forgiveness of all his sins.
