Yes I particularly enjoy John Howard's diplomacy with respect to Asia; I have always wanted to see the calm of the Australian lifestyle shaken around be terrorist bombings and possible war with our northern friends. Bugger this 'doing nothing' stuff; lets get some bombing action happening.

Sure must be dark in that deep pit you're in, Tobes: Jeff was NOT an economic manager, he was a salesman and con artist. Get over it.

Labor only got in because:
a) Jeff left the state economy in the best shape it's ever been, and
b) The Federal goverment has kept the whole Australian economy in great condition, especially after the darkness of the Keating years.

Thank god we still have John Howard guiding and protecting us for the forseeable future. Labor is not going to win federally for anothe decade!

Wee Billy Baxter is the only Minister from the first Krooked Kennett cabinet left in the Victorian Parliament with the retirements of snotty Rob Maclellan, abysmal Mark Birrell and hopeless Roger Hallam on Saturday.

Just four of Der Jeff's second cabinet survive: the odious Louise Asher, the unfortunate Robin Cooper, the dopey Denis Napthine and the irrelevant Phil Honeywood re-elected on Saturday.

And the best is yet to come, punters: the traditional Liberal daggers were sharpened long ago for this ultimate internal bloodbath! Enjoy!

Agree. Yank arrogance + belligerance is guaranteed to produce more bloody terrorists than any other issue on earth. These are indeed very dark times for those of us interested in dialogue, inclusion and PEACE!

This fantasy of Liberal fiscal responsibility is the biggest con job of them all. As with the current conservative federal govt, the Kennett dictatorship used accounting methods no other government - including otherr conservative gvts - ever used. It's a swindle. And if think selling the State Electrity Commission for 30 billion an act of financial genius, then you're living in gaga-land! Victorian's will be paying for Kennett's idealogically-driven fire-sale of public assets and infrastructure for generations! And why doesnt the Liberal Party change its name? There's nothing 'liberal' about it! More honest to call themselves the Sell Everything Party! Oh, and by the way, fuck you for the anal-retentive shit-for-brains you so obviously are! Peace brother (and I voted Green!)

Toby, sour grapes and sore losers abound on your side of the political fence, mate! It's about time Labor had a chance to run Government WITHOUT the usual interference and sabotage of of a Lib dominated Upper House. Onya Bracksy!

Jeff Kennett slashed and burnt services for a reason - the state was bankrupt.
Bankrupt from ten years of loony left rule! Bankrupt from the Government being dominated by the bludgers in Trades Hall who have never worked a day in their life!
Just wait till next election when all Victoria will see how fiscally irresponsible Labor politicians are.

Toby

Nothing ? You mean he isn't going to close hospitals, sack policemen, give his best mates casinos and keys to the city, sign off on stuff that is protected by secrecyt clauses, make it illegal to challenge the government, sell our states assets off?

What a bore ay..

Yeh I can't wait for more committee's on what Bracks will do next! Get ready for nothing to happen over the next 4 years.

Patri-rot, I dunno bout carpet bombing but your posts are unrivaled carpet bullshit... Glenn

After reading this latest diatribe from you pinkos I'm beginning to...
Actually your soultions to the current problems are ones I agree with.
"A swift coup, intelligence, diplomacy, catch them in their beds, create political turmoil within the terrorist ranks, pay offs, setups that create bad blood, make the terrorist paranoid. Cost effective, minimises the massive growth of terrorist sympathisers that Bush has created."
And President Bush obvioulsy agrees as well as these are the methods that his administration are actively pursuing. Look how many of Osama's cohorts they have captured or put out of action. The imprisonment of the captured Al Qaeda men at Camp X-ray has allowed the US to question these men long and hard about their terrorist organisation and it is starting to pay off with "assassination" of leading Al Qaeda followers. This is the use of "stealth and wile with technology" that you are talking about. Undoubtedly it is continuing on as I write and I'm sure more successes will be seen soon.

But. Where has there been "carpet bombing" except in the mountains of Tora Bora where there are absolutely no civilian population? There have been a few instances of civilians being hurt in the Afghani action, but no more than would have happened in that god forsaken country over any given year in the last century.
As for the engineering of coups I can just imagine the outcry from hacks such as Max Gross if they were to occur. I'm sure he is already written the article to label any change of goverment in Iraq as US lackeys, much the same as he has criticised regime change in the Afghanistan (which is quite funny in itself, the left backing the feudal goverment of the Taliban!).

The same old 'you lot all' type generalisation again from our Patri-fart.

'Us against them' is all he can see. The paranoia that clouds him and similar thinkers judgement is so powerful that he cannot see alternatives, glosses over them, dismisses them as if they are not there.

Suggestions of improving intelligence operations, diplomacy, undercover surveillance, assassination (rather than carpet bombing whole nations and creating millions of new long term enemies, angry citizens who will be compelled to join the terrorist organisations as their only chance to mete vengeance), and similar solutions which have been suggested by many, including Xenox posters, are brushed under the carpet by Patriot and his like. Ignored. "You offer no solutions" he replies 'other than do nothing'.

Cannot see for his fear, his only answer "Lash out with weapons of mass destruction."

The US war profit machine propaganda he seizes upon in his fear and paranoia. A poverty stricken enemy that could be eradicated by stealth and wile with technology and behind the scenes coups.

The mafia would be better off running this war on terror than these fundamentalist, paranoid, trigger happy right wing morons, who have been hell bent creating as many terrorist enemies. Creating more enemies than removing.

A swift coup, intelligence, diplomacy, catch them in their beds, create political turmoil within the terrorist ranks, pay offs, setups that create bad blood, make the terrorist paranoid. Cost effective, minimises the massive growth of terrorist sympathisers that Bush has created.

The logical, clever and effective way of dealing with these minority terrorist groups is being swept aside because of a war machine that needs to produce more and more weaponry for profit.

Dickhead Patriot cannot see this.

The solutions to quash terrorism are obvious. Creating enemies of all Islamic children and families in all countries around the world is not it dickheads. Watch your back; your attitude has created so many enemies against the west none of us are safe anymore.

It won't be WW3! Are you scared of some hillbillys in Yemen?? What you and the rest of the mob here say is always the same: "its the Yanks fault...blah blah..George Bush fault...". You lot have offered absolutely no solutions to the current terrorist crisis except blame the US and to let Osama and his Islamo-Fascists stick a bomb up the world's ass.
By attacking the centres of terrorist activities (ie Afghanistan, Iraq) the US and their allies have put a major dampner on Al Qaeda's activities but obvioulsy a lot more needs to be done to stop them. They are hitting the major AlQaeda leadership structure with intelligence driven strikes (such as the hit on Osama's liutenant in Yemen), and with resolute diplomacy standing up to the bullies of the region such as Saddam. It is going to take time, but to stop it now would only leave the job half done at best.

Patriot

with the same monologue reply everytime...he never reads the solutions and common sense proffered, ignoring them so he can trot out the same line: 'starting world war III is better than doing nothing'. It is what is most annoying thing about his cameo diahhrea

He's the only dissenting view from all the lame ass leftys that ply this rag!

Appears that this Xenox News editor shares a great allegience with this Patriot character....perhaps he would be better described as the Xenox's News most controversial dribbler

You need clinical treatment.

Well kind sir I believe it is due to an influx of foreign material, ahem, maybe I might be impolite to say, but I think it is an inert organic material derived from melting sand, ahem, silicone I do believe.
Nonetheless it's ductile properties do facilitate some advantages, both in terms of movement and feel. In fact if she was to rub them in your face I'm sure you would feel very nice all over.

Dear Professor, please explain what type of lung disease Britney Spears has... Britney's lungs, mmm

Patriot, you are a self-confessed shit-for-brains. However, on the misinformation backroads of the WWW, you are neither unique nor alone. Go here to commune with like-minded nitwits:

http://www.nicedoggie.net/

Max your the one who has lost the plot! Again your only answer to the Islamo-fascists of Al Qaeda and their buddy Saddam is do nothing and hope they go away. The only way to stop these murderers is to go in and get them, and if that means stepping on a few toes so be it!
As for bad mouthing Ronnie Reagan you lefty losers must have nightmares about him and Maggie T as they stood up to the commie dictators of the Soviet Union and freed millions of people from their yoke. And in process totally debunked the left's theories on how to run a state.

Patriot

You expect us to believe the rantings of that ex-Hippie pinko?
Why don't you show us some more of this lunatics "predictations" and how they all fall flat!

The hard copy version was much better. This doesn't rate so tell him to fuck off.

I thought deprecating the Xenox News designer, triggered it....shit, maybe it was dicking web service provider or the producer, or financer... hang on, wasn't it the programmer. Who else is there we can pin it on?

What's the share price?

first you need to understand what the impairment in the immune system is. then hopefully it can be fixed. but the immune system, as with most biological systems, is pretty complex.
How can you "boost" the immune system? You need more than half-assed new age ideas!

dont worry we have patented it all ready!

More evidence of impaired immune response in the human race. They should be educating people on how to boost their immune systems and reducing the causes of impaired immune response. Treat the cause not the symptom...

Yeah, Rooty, Saddum has the weapns the Americans SOLD him! Its THEIR weapons of mass destruction coming right back at them, the greedy dumb fucks!

U.S. hypocrisy is staggering, as is the ignorance of the average U.S. citizen regarding the nefarious activities of it own federal government.

Reports by the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, which oversees American exports policy, and from U.S. Department of Defense documents, confirm U.S. and British sales of chemical and biological weapons agents to Iraq during the successive administrations of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, Sr.

These U.S. Government records reveal that the U.S. sold materials, including anthrax, VX nerve gas, West Nile fever germs, and botulism (among other biological agents) right up until March of 1992, after the end of the Gulf War.

The Senate committee report states, "The United States provided the government of Iraq with 'dual use' licensed materials which assisted in the development of Iraqi chemical, biological and missile-system programs."

And this assistance, according to the report, included "chemical warfare-agent precursors, chemical warfare-agent production facility plans and technical drawings, chemical warfare filling equipment, biological warfare-related materials, missile fabrication equipment and missile system guidance equipment."

Imagine this horrific scenario: U.S. troops suckered into invading Iraq being killed and maimed by Iraqi weapons of mass destruction supplied by the U.S. government itself

More likely a foreign pharmaceutical conglomerate will buy the rights and that'll be the end of that.

Choke on a pretzel!

American ignorance of the rest of the world is behind this godawful global shitstorm. Face it Rachel: you don't know anything outside your own goddamn back yard! Get a life! Get an education!

Americans=blinded by their own bullshit

Genius!
