Cluster bombs are land mines delivered from the air instead of being placed in the ground.De facto land mines .Australia signed the Convention on cluster munitions treaty - sowhy is the u.s military allowed to store and deploy cluster munitions from its bases in Australia ?Does the australian public know .A 40% failure to explode rate has been documented,leaving these indiscriminate limb removing devices scattered in paddocks -only not ours .But they are being stored and deployed from australia-we may as well paint the flying kangaroo on them.We are duplicite.Realisticly the yanks are coming -Julia said so .But on australian soil it is ultimately up to us whether or not they bring cluster bombs with them for deployment elsewhere.The australian public should be outraged that the u.s military are allowed to bring this vile weapon onto our soil.
