Labour Sticks to guns

Labour are still insisting they will bring home the troops by Christmas I’m relieved. I was worrying about how the 50,000 odd servicemen and thousands of police in Australia at the moment would be able to handle the terror threat without the help of 20 or so Air Traffic Controllers and the few hundred Infantrymen guarding Australian assetts in Iraq. Latham must have heard of one of the principles of war that argues against splitting forces.

One comment

  • An unfair comment. It’s merely Labor’s announced policy for the moment. There may already have been several secret meetings to adopt a new policy which Latham will announce some time in the future.
