Editor, Canberra Times: Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott have both shed crocodile tears over the death of yet another Aussie soldier in Afghanistan. When asked about the validity of them being in Afghanistan at all, their response was: ‘We must let things run their course.’ What course? Our soldiers aren’t wanted there. The Afghans have given them and their Yankee mates the thumbs down, ‘Get out. We’ll take care of ourselves.’ But the Aussies and the Yanks are quite happy to stay and let their men be killed. And so, it seems are our PM and the Leader of the Opposition.
