I agree with you. I respect Howard, but I don't see how his attack on Obama and Democrats help Republicans or Conservatives in the US. It simply brings good feeling to some conservatives, but nothing much beyond that.

With respect, while Mr Howard would be delighted with a continuing Republican Presidency, his comments aren't intended to help US Republicans or conservatives. They are intended to help Australia and Australians - and that is his job. If the US pulls out of Iraq in the way Obama wants it to, it means Australian soldiers, sailors, and airmen put their lives on the line for nothing.

That is not an acceptable situation to Australia. And the Prime Minister of Australia will make that clear.

Thank you for the explanation. Still, if that's his intention, he could have argued about the issue without mentioning Obama.
