The attack on America.

"Just 24 hours before the attack on America, New Zealand’s Labour Government destroyed this country’s own strike force capacity by dismantling our fighter jets from the airforce. We were assured by our Deputy Prime Minister that in this day and age, there would be no risk from attacks from other countries."

Disbanding our air strike force was a mistake. If we’d turned up in the Middle East with our 40-year-old Sky Hawks, Bin-Laden would have died laughing.

Don't know where you got this from, but the timing is wrong. This actually happened a few months back.A good sign that our country is run by greenies and narrow minded pacifists.

Crazy isn't it!
