I haven't heard much about Iraq lately.

I guess we're still winning.

[Old Sarge]

Good On Ya, Mate!

How can this be? I thought we were going it alone. You mean there's a coalition? When did this happen, ss?

Aussies Rock! Thank you Australia. (and a ping)

[Smoote]

Thank you Australia! We won't forget your steadfast support for freedom and neither will the Iraqi people.

Aussies have cojones. I first met them in Korea in 1952 and I've had a healthy respect for them ever since. They haven't let me down. Not for a damned minute.

When I choose my overseas vacations after my kids leave the house in 13 or so years ( they are 6 and 4 years old now), Australia will be on the top of my list.

We love you guys down there!

,,, Aussies by the truckload ping.

If any Aussies should happen to read this, this American says thank you from the bottom of his heart, and not just for this latest bit of support. Australia often gets short shrift as an ally of America, but in fact the land Down Under has been our truest friend. Truer than Canada, truer even than Great Britain, Australia has is our ally as much as France is our enemy, and that's a lot. Thanks, mates. I think I'll take my next vacation in Australia.
