Why do we need a politician from Australia to say what needs to be said?
John Howard, the Prime Minister of Australia, said that Barack Obama would be bad for Australia. Why? He would hand victory to the terrorists and a defeat to the US, which would negatively affect Australia, a close US ally.
Howard said, "I think [Obama's proposed March '08 withdrawal from Iraq] would just encourage those who wanted completely to destabilize and destroy Iraq, and create chaos and victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for (an) Obama victory."
"If I was running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008, and pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for Obama, but also for the Democrats."
Ouch!
Howard reaffirmed his steadfastness as an ally in the war against Islamic terrorists, saying that Australia needed to stand by America during its difficult struggle in Iraq, "[During difficult times] is precisely the time when friends should be available to stick by you."
