It’s hard to wrap my head around Julia Gillard’s pursuit of a position on the UN Security Council.
Millions of dollars are being spent for a position on a council that won’t realistically improve global security. Just consider the competition…we’re up against Luxembourg and Finland…enough said!
Are we increasing troop numbers in Afghanistan or merely rotating existing units? As the Americans withdraw their forces from Afghanistan…have we completely lost our way?
Last week, our police handled the protests effectively, but this week they returned to their investigative duties with the search for a missing girl in Melbourne. They performed excellently and managed to make an arrest within days. Let’s hope they receive the gratitude they deserve.
With budget deficits making headlines—can politicians do basic math? Do they grasp the expenses involved in equipping and employing our defense forces abroad?
Defending Australia should be the priority, not deploying troops to distant nations and serving as instructors for rebels. One can only hope that Julia Gillard doesn’t propose sending our troops to Syria, Iran, Libya, or any other place.
The President of the US is advocating for enhanced sanctions against Iran, believing that a conflict between Iran and Israel is imminent.
What if that conflict were to escalate to nuclear levels? The entire Middle East would be dragged into it.
What a delightful lead-up to Christmas he’s offering the world. I wonder if he’s begun constructing his bunker. His chances of staying in office are increasingly dwindling. Does he even take action?
In recent news regarding UK landmarks—Buckingham Palace is set to be renamed “Queen Liz-Land” and will open to the public featuring games and rides.
It could even rival that lesser-known amusement park near Paris.
