I agree, but you my friend go after these countries and backstab them... are you going to backstab Spain because we cannot transport as much as the Americans can? I also concur your arguments don't make sense.


What? Backstab? Transport? Where did any of that come from?

It's quite obvious then, and indeed common sense, that if America is losing eight or nine troops in Anaconda, and Australia hasn't lost any, that maybe just maybe one country's in the line of fire just a bit more than the other.


In the Gulf War, the Coalition forces (exlc. the USA) lost more troops than the USA did. Does that also mean the ROW did most of the fighting, or at least, the most difficult jobs?

There is a large point being missed here, and it needs to be stated. If it weren't for the intervention of the Australian SAS, this figure would read 42 dead, 0 wounded and 0 unhurt. They filled the role of 'SUPPORT', which is what they are to the battle being fought by the USA. They did a fantastic job, long may it continue

You really never cease to amaze me. First you give the political right a bad name because of your inherent stupidity, and then you deny backstabbing a country that is trying to help you? People are right about you. You aren't a conservative, you aren't a liberal... you are a soviet-communist.

Sorry, that just came out... I couldn't hold it in anymore. I am disgusted that such a kid has to give my side of the political spectrum a bad name.

I'm attempting to point out how the Australians are "backstabbing" us as far as Anaconda is concerned. If you want to argue that we're actually being helped by the Aussies in Afghanistan, do that, don't speak gibberish nonsense and spell something (in this case "stupidity") very wrong in every damn sentence.

No need to thank us Wiglaf


This reminds me of the old Joke where a Jew saves Hitler from drowning. Hitler asks him what he wants as a reward. "Please don´t tell it to anybody."

Bugger off, Tribune. If you hadn't noticed, most of the people who tell Wiglaf exactly where to shove his ignorant-ass opinions are American. He is no more representative of Americans than Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, or Jim Phelps.
