most probably at our leader's behest - The opposition leader got a good serve from about 4 republican party heavyweights in the media including Colin Powell about his pledge to withdraw our troops by christmas if re-elected.. but because Prime Minister Howard is so far up Bush's ass they're repaying him the favour by "warning" the aussie public about the US/AU alliance and what pulling out "could mean". As well as losing another higher profile coalition partner isn't a good thing for Bush's campaign either.
heheh the assholes are scratching each other's backs with our near simultaeneous elections.

What an absolute bunch of twaddle, the opposition leader has rightly called the current Australian contribution (as opposed to earlier higher commitment) as symbolic.. Howard has already pulled out a bunch.. and probably would have pulled out the remaining guys if Latham didn't beat him to the idea..

the aussie public might not react the way he hopes either.. not too many people liked being forced into the war in the first place and then to be told what to do by foreign unelected politicians hopefully won't go down well...

meh..
