Silent and deadly: Australia's rage

[Dundee]

You can have no greater friend nor deadlier foe than Australia.

Link?

[joesnuffy]

Get your guns back from your Bolshevik Govt.

[Tom Jefferson]

Great to have you Aussies and your silent determination with us in our fight against the forces of evil in the world.

[go star go]

Yep. Y'all a tough lot alright. Let em take your guns away didn't you...

[Tall_Texan]

My sympathies to your nation who has always been there at America's side (moreso than Britain if you want my opinion).

Come help us squash the Islamic hordes who wish to put us under their tyrannical thumb. Pay no attention to the peaceniks. We will save their asses as we always have and they will forget in the morning every sacrifice we make in this war and bleat their cowardly bleat.

We, however, will triumph. We have the nukes. We will not be denied.

[Dundee]

Guess again pal, they never got even a fraction of our guns.

Check your facts BEFORE shooting off at the mouth.

Glad to hear that; I already suspected it.

I had a conversation with an aged Japanese gentlemen not many years ago. He was a military historian who told me that the Imperial Army held illusions of separating and isolating Australia from their American allies in the opening months of the Pacific War.

The dogged determination of the Aussies in the worthless jungles of New Guinea made them think refocusing their attention from moving south to moving east (toward Midway) would be a more productive strategy.

May your western hating leftists and ours be given their own home in some vacant Solomon Island when this thing is over and Al Quaida is finally vanquished.

Thanks for the heart-felt post, Dundee.

Look forward to your partnership in the fight against evil. The Aussies are indeed a tough lot, and always a reliable friend of the U.S.. Not many know this, but the Australians even fought with the U.S. in Vietnam.

Many sympathies for your loss. Sorry about the snide remarks posted above. Some Freepers have no concept of graciousness or timing.

War has been carried to us, now we must return it.
Those who urge us to stay our hand, are the reason
these attacks continue to build. The intentioned goodwill
of some is seen as weakness and vacilation by the forces of
Islam. Weakness only invites attack.
The next target for us is Iraq, then we will see where to go from there.
I hope our friends and allies pay attention to this.
England, a hot bed of Islamic radicals, cannot be far away from a massive attack.

Australia is my second favorite country, and the only place I would consider living if I left the USA.

[Ronin]

I sorta figured that.

I've only been pals with a few Aussies over my life, but nothing I have heard or know about them makes me believe that they have any more confidence in government than Americans do.

[Rocko]

You can have no greater friend nor deadlier foe than Australia.

Good!

[sarasmom]

I have by experience come to love the type of man who will hold a neutral expression while he completes a distastefull task.

I can only love a southern man.

That said, please know many of us in the USA know exactly how you feel.We will also stand beside you untill the job is done.Just as you have stood by us.We are in this together.

Prayers for your lost ones.Each of them matter to those of us who hold life above death.That is most of the civilised world.You are not alone.

[clamper1797]

Good on ya ... now ... go get yur guns back mate ... you might be needing em

[rocknotsand]

I used to talk bout guns to other blokes. Just the news or the weather or the sport. But I wouldn't even mention a good hunting yarn in company I hadn't been hunting with. We're here, but we're 'underground'. Literally. Do we feel like criminals? I dunno.

But when I think about it, someone with a real grudge (like an ex-wife) used to dob you in to the Tax Department as payback. Now all they have to do is dob you in for a gun and you're away for years and your new family life is ruined. What a society. So don't talk guns at all, especially in new company.

Got an e-mail from my Uncle in Auz. This is what he wrote (in part)

now we REALY know how your countrymen & women must have felt on Sept. 11th... This bloody lot has shook us up down here I can tell you and has not done much to endear friendship thoughts with the Islamic/Muslim types.

Our news (and no doubt yours) as I look at CNN, FOX and others is certainly giving it coverage. We have (so far) about 14 confirmed dead but 210 Aussies missing and that does not look good at all, especially now so long after the event.

I just know that when our boys in the Gulf and those in Afganastan heard the news they would be in the "no prisoners" mood for sure...

Needless to say we are shocked, unsettled, in sad frame of mind, anxious, pissed off with the people responsible etc... To shed a quiet tear watching the horrible scenes and poor injured on telly plus the interviews of those both in Balanese hospital, those flown into Darwin, Perth hospitals ... not good ...

[semaj]

No worries, we'll gladly stand with our mates from down unda.

[dighton]

Condolences for your great loss.

You can have no greater friend nor deadlier foe than Australia.

I believe it. God bless and protect you.
