BID TO TRAIN US TROOPS


January 16, 2004 - 6:26PM

The United States could soon send troops to Australia for training under a plan to set up a new joint military training centre.

The idea was raised during talks between America's most powerful military commander, General Richard Myers, and Australia's Defence Force chief General Peter Cosgrove today.

General Myers, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, earlier met Prime Minister John Howard in Sydney to discuss the ongoing war on terror and Australian involvement in the controversial missile defence shield.

I have a feeling this will be a very controversial issue here.....anyone have any thoughts?

Naw Jilla, this is just part of the Donald Rumsfeld's and Dick Cheney's covert strategy to have troops in place to take over OZ when their plan for world domination come into full swing after their puppet Bush win's a landslide reelection in early November.

This would be perfectly obvious to all of us if we would just read MoveOn.org's website and listen to Howard Dean like good automatons.

Well we have different ideas. With your struggling economy and our booming economy, the balance just might tilt in our favour....then you'd all be saying 'G'day mate!' and eating sheep....:) ;)

They marched and sang Waltzing Matilda through two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East (twice) and at Starbucks in Singapore last Tuesday about 1:00pm. ;)
It's only a matter of time. :D
