"Starky"? Is Ringo somehow involved?

WHO?

According to iraqbodycount.net (the worldwide update of reported civilian deaths in the Iraq war and occupation) the minimum figure for civilian deaths is 15,984 and the maximum is 18,252.

And make no mistake: what the Yanks did in Falluja IS a war crime. No wonder the Bush administration wants to sabotage the International Criminal Court.

The dangers of fundamentalist religious dogma influencing government are starky apparent in the USA. The issue is not even remotely benign here is Australia, though some may think it so. The influence on the Family First party on the federal election is on the record. The association og seniour Howard government ministers with the Hillsong pentecostal church should be ringing alarm bells. The following news article appeared in today's Age:

"CHURCH BLESSED BY LIERAL HANDOUT
An evangelical Christian church with links to the Liberal Party has received almost $800,000 in grants from government departments in the past five years."

It further states: "Hillsong is part of the fast-growing Pentecostal Assemblies of God denomination popular in the southern states of the United States and in South America."

Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews is known as a "creepy jesus", and his department (coincidentally!) has lavished Hillsong with more than $300,000 to one of Hillsong's "business initiatives". And let's not forget it was the PM himself who opened Hillsong's new 3,500-seat premises in Baulkham Hills in 2002.

The links are there. the dangers are obvious.

OK. Give us a look.

Given the relentless threatening language, the utter disdain for dialogue or international cooperation, and Bush's track record of "shock and awe" both in Iraq and Afghanistant, all nations should probably make sure they have the means to defend themselves against any possible attack by the Mutated States of Duhmerica.

Hey MrPatriot it looks like your right again. And now Syria is joining with Iran, the two biggest terrorist loving nations in cahoots. It's time to take the gloves off and start treating these guys the way they treat us:
With Contempt!

n'yes....Comparing N Korea, Saddam's big mistake was 'not' developing weapons of mass destruction. The precedent has been set and all trilogy of terror type countries will be quickly equipping themselves.

The Bush League is "demented" alright but also determined. Like all mindless fanatics they won't stop until you cut off their air supply!

One time I scratched someone else's bum and... well, it gets kinda complicated after that...

Abbott is an indiginous variant of the bible bashing nutters currently infecting U.S. politics. The Howard ministry is riddled with these sancitimonious, know-it-all lordy-lordies like a dead cat is crawling with maggots.

bullshit

Bush has officially asked Congress for $80 billion in emergency spending to pay for the increasing costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Washington Post reports it is one of the highest requests for emergency spending in the nation's history. The sum exceeds the combined budgets of the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and Housing and Urban Development. Nearly $6 billion of the request will be spent to train and equip Iraqi forces. That's more than 10 times what the US spent on the Iraqi forces last year.

Hassan the Iranian Assassin? Is he releated to Cyrus the Assyrian Strangler? Several seditious soldiers from Ceaseria?

Hmm, let's see: "Hassan and his men have been doing jobs in Iraq ever since the liberation took place", you say? Exactly when did this abstract "liberation" occur? Was it when the god-addled Bush began his bloody campaign of "shock and awe"? Was it when he declared "mission accomplished"? Was it when Saddam was caught? Or was it when Iraqis gave the US occupation and ongoing violence the "purple finger", as Naomi Klein puts it? Or will it come about once Ayatollah Sistani sets his religious chess pieces in motion in the proposed Iraqi parliament? Admit it, Patriot: "liberation" isn't even on the radar yet!

Dont be distracted by the evangelist sideshow: the Bush agenda is solely preoccupied with establishing the USA as the dominant power on earth, any any cost. All else is expendable.

Look its real simple: despite his harmless, shop-keeper appearance, the Mean Midget is a as vicious as a pitty-rotty cross with its balls in a knot!

If "god" exists he sure must be one mean, coke-addled sonofabitch to let a certified whacko like Dumbass Bush to run amuck! talk about running in the dark with scissors!

He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.

Howard's cowards: slimy liars the lot of em.

Creating more job-seekers than there are available jobs defines the Recalcitrant Rodent’s economy. More demand than supply drives down wages and increases the number of surplus workers. - Zipperneck

Look's like Sistani's Shiah coalition and the Kurds will form the first elected Iraqi government since the US invasion. Watch Turkey! It will invade rather than accept the creation of a sovereign Kurdish state along its border. And the US will not allow a truly independent Iraqi government to call the shots. It aint over til the fat bastard sings!

Calling the PM "the Rodent" is an insult to the rats. mice, rabbits etc of the world!

And if anyone out there thinks daisy cutters and bunker busters are NOT Weapons of Mass Destruction, they're smoking too much crack! The good old USA has been at the forefront of WMD development since at least WW2!

John Howard is one of the most devious, manipulative, deceitful politicians this country has ever seen. That ANYONE voted for a man of his "calibre" for a second term in ofice shows just how far down the amoral sewer Australians have sunk.

Not, that I want to justify the bombing, but it seems, that 170.000 people killed is a "bit" too much. Latest / most common numbers are 25-35.000 with the most pessimistic guess I've found elsewhere on the net is, that the number "might be doubled". But at least 100.000 less than mentioned on this site.

You pinko's never get it do you? Howard is the greatest PM Australia has had since Menzies. Look at your booming economy; your standing in the world has never been higher!
He has made Australia into a middle-class nirvana: the envy of the world.
So if you don't like it fucken leave and go to a socialist paradise like France or China!

Looks like we'll be singing "God Save Camilla!"

Oh bruther, has Dubya's little Iraq adventure backfired on him and his loony toon campadres! Looks like old Mr Sistani will be calling the shots with his proposed "democratic Islam" with Shariah law taking care of business. Beheadings, anyone?

Truth conquers all... and eventually even the Australian voting public will see the Howard Government for the repugnant, morally bankrupt group of blinkered opportunists it really is.

Is it true that John W Howzat has his pointy old noggin stuffed so far up Joke W Bush's arse he can see Crawford Texas?

Downer is just another of Tiny John's tory robots... these machines cannot think for themselves, they just parrot the party line. they would make terrific communists!

Downer's still shoveling out the bullshit re Saddam's non-existant WMD... and the Bushniks are using the same lies to set up their invasion of Iraq! Let's see them try!

u stupid fucks will never realize that nothing u hear about the muslim world is true when coming from western sources. You cried after bush went to iraq by mistake and now u are letting bush influence u again. stupid fucks......iran is not after US, US has been after Iran for the last fucking century, read some history u fucks. Why Iran....read u fucking dirtbags, Iran is the only self relying country in the middle east, the last hope of Islam, the last country that wants to revitilize humanity and, unlike the rest of the middle east and the west, it wants to bring some attention to god, yes the same god you worship yet u kill. Iran worships but with action, it doesnt kill, it doesnt make people its slaves, it doesnt let money run things. U stupid stupid fucks. Im not even muslim or iranian but I know at the end of the day, u kill, iran hasnt killed anyone. God doesnt like u, u kill humans and all humans, no matter what their background, are created by god and u have no right to do anything to them. Congratulations u are by far the easiest people to believe the US lies, AGAIN. why else do u think u deserve what ive called u all along my post....stupid fucks? because thas what u are. Haha.

It's that light-weight dim-bulb god-botherer George Wubblya Bush who is threatening "all the world"!

Those Mad Mullahs are up to their necks in the terror going on in Iraq. They should be dealt with before they get nuclear weapons and threaten all the world.

This is exaclty what the Bushs, Blairs and Howards of the world want: to bludgeon all civilized, thiking citizens into immobile despair with an endless barrage of lies, distortions, manipulations, scaremongering and war-mongering!

Hey Ed! Your poll should ask "Are Americans really that dumb?" And the answer to that is obviously "George W Bush"!
