Dear Hasbeen,

You really need to pay a visit to your local library
and get a reference librarian to show you the "proof"
you claim doesn't exist yet. It actually does.
Much has been written about those governments and their
actions during the period you're referring to. There
are many sources of information available for you . All
you have to do is ask and you'll find out - as Pelly
and others have already done and know what they're
talking about.

Cheers.

Okay, Hasbeen, let's talk about what government's do.

Here's a link to what the Reagan administration did while supporting Iraq against Iran in that war.

Oh look, it seems they turned a blind-eye to Iraq's use of chemical weapons during that war.

Here's the conclusion from the paper:
"The current Bush administration discusses Iraq in starkly moralistic terms to further its goal of persuading a skeptical world that a preemptive and premeditated attack on Iraq could and should be supported as a "just war". The documents included in this briefing book reflect "realpolitik" that determined this country's policies during the years when Iraq was actually employing chemical weapons...The U.S. was concerned with its ability to project military force in the Middle Est, and to keep the oil flowing."

Toni couldn't make it again. Such an important vote and he missed it again. The tarnish is starting to form on Toni's armor.
The carbon tax will slot in like any other tax, Business is glad to know what they are looking at, and now can get on with what they do. A clean energy future can only make Australia a better place.

Dear 579,

Hear, Hear!

Tony is just keeping the seat warm for Malcolm. :)

Come on Lexi, you know I live with one. She's bl00dy hopeless with math too, but she has now seen the global warming con for what it is.

Pelican, if anyone is keeping a seat warm for Turnbull it's your Julie. About the only thing that could save labor now would be if Turnbull became liberal leader.

Katter would get more votes in Queensland, & probably the rest of Oz.

The Libs are too smart to want a Rudd clone, They've seen what those types do.
