The Battle for Fallujah

Published on Monday, 8 Nov 04 by in War on Terror

There are a lot of dry mouths, watery bowels and heads bowed in prayer in Iraq as 12,000 soldiers prepare to battle in Fallujah. Men will die, women will weep and the left wing will still fail to get the message that a democracy in the Middle East is an answer to the question they

Published on Sunday, 7 Nov 04 by in War on Terror

Aussie Troops fire rounds in anger….

Published on Tuesday, 19 Oct 04 by in War on Terror

AN Australian journalist held captive by Iraqi insurgents for less than 24 hours over the weekend has been released unharmed. John Martinkus, a veteran freelancer who was compiling a report for SBS’s Dateline program, was seized outside his Baghdad hotel about 5pm on Saturday Australian time (10am Baghdad time).

It’s just not on

Published on Monday, 18 Oct 04 by in War on Terror

A sergeant in Iraq phones his wife and spills the beans on the rotten Army sending him on a dangerous mission. Left wing fools pick up on it and try and turn the word of a recalcitrant into an indictment of the US. Lets turn the clock back and put it into perspective. It’s 1970

I don’t buy it but the Italians do

Despite an official government denial, a leading parliament member said he believed Italy had handed over about $US1 million ($1.4 million) to secure their freedom. $1.4 million buys a hell of

Under seige and loving it

As I anticipated, the Left attacked me for my post on Prisoners fair game – some with reason and beliefs but some exhibiting such vitriol that their comments say much more about them than me. One says I make him ashamed to be Australian, accuses me of being a moral coward and signs off regards,
