Australian Politics thread [merged]

Don't forget that these are hardly ground breaking facts, al. I learned about the mujahideen in high school when I took modern history, then more about cold war period middle eastern affairs during a brief stint at TAFE post school.

Every single one of these groups, IS, Al Queda etc were supported, trained and armed in the late 70s/early 80s after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The groups of insurgents that came Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia,  Iraq and Syria formed a loose alliance called the mujahideen and the US helped them. There were two major groups,  Tehran Eight and Peshawar Seven. Peshawar seven trained in Pakistan and I think Tehran Eight in Iran, both trained and armed by the west and funded by the west. This is fact. It's the same as what we are doing with the Kurds now.

Yep.

The were 'the good guys' cause it was good for american interess at the time


Fighting ze Russians

The enmey of my enemy is my friend

Now Taliban/Isis worst than Hitler

Going to kill ONE Australian and use an iPhone and a black flag to tap it

Omg

Does one Australian die/rape/go missing a day? Goes anyone GAF?

Yes but one killed by a terrorist would be just awful

Had better invade Syria

[tiga]

Well at least for the time being the US are remaining consistent and not militarily supporting the PKK. (Which means they will get the CIA to help them out  )

 sky is full drones over raqqa now

[Francois Jackson]

hows the polls now 65?

you went the early crow buddy and now TA is charging back.

[Penelope]

nothing like a bit of fear mongering to improve a government's standing in the eyes of lowest common denominator.

[Mr Magic]

What budget?

[Judge Roughneck]

Threaten the guy with 3000 nukes - cheak
Invade middle Eastern country - cheak
Spread fear properganda general same old shyte - Cheak

Oh boy , the opinion polls went up.
How coincidental

If only Julia was such a man-of-steel

[Francois Jackson]

That's a shame you feel like that albert about the majority of Australians who are now starting to see sense.

Unlike some i don't vote based on fear, i vote largely on whats on the table and lets be honest the alternative shorton cant run a bordello much like his predecessors.

Gillard great interview last night

[Judge Roughneck]

Regardless of you - Albert is completely accurate in regards to the vast majority, of the great unwashed masses of the working class (not that we own or build things anymore

Surely youd agree with that sentiment

How can you worry about money when this country is at war with PURE EVIL

yes, but its not a vast majority that are now changing their vote to TA because of global uncertainty.

Plenty will yes, agreed, but the majority have already made up their own minds who will they vote for.

[dwaino]

Besides sheltering his kiddy fiddler mates, what has Abbott actually done?

Didn't have the balls to make co-PM Pell face the royal commission person.

[WilliamPowell]

hows the polls now 65?

you went the early crow buddy and now TA is charging back.

Charging back?

The polls show an improvement but I wouldn't call it charging back.

But whatever.

I actually don't vote on fear either, I too vote with what's on the table and on the domestic front which is what impacts on everyone not just a few.

And based on that our current government isn;t doing very well as their budget and our incompetent Treasurer continue to show.

yes, but its not a vast majority that are now changing their vote to TA because of global uncertainty.

On this you are sort of right. I would suggest it's one of the reasons why people won't change their vote if an election was held now but the sentiment is the same. It was one of the reasons why Howard got re-elected after 9/11

[Francois Jackson]

thats a disgrace Dwaino. That pell is as shifty as all stuff.

hasn't Abbott helped stopped the boats or is that a bad thing?
