Back to Oz…

Saw a protest march in Brisbane today and a HUGE one too. But the polls suggest closer to 50:50 now on the public’s war opinion, its closing up.

Francis Tusa who didn’t correct the “Prowler” gaff, but proceeded to inform the public that A-10s were operated by the United States Air Force and the United States Marine Corps.

Crickey! I am starting to wonder about this Francis Tusa guy, he is supposed to be a fairly respectable analyst that writes the rather expensive to buy DEFENCE ANALYSIS articles!

Wow an accidental post with 13…whoops now 14 replys! :p

From ABC

referring to the helo crash that has killed 16.

“Its the CHINOOK helicopter, the CH-46 SEA KNIGHT…”

God help them… :p

The SUNBURN has been more relevant and tossed around in media circles of late with the Chinese acquisition of the (Russian) system in recent years, so they automatically assume that must be IT. Seriously mis-guided people sometimes.. but I bet the USN and others are glad its NOT SUNBURN and it is indeed SILKWORM.

divided..

Australia Divided as Troops Join Iraq Combat

Ahh guys… where did they go? These B-52s that were apparently seen flying quite a few hours ago..

Surely now the die is cast it is the time to stop petty name calling and squabbling here and think a little of all those who will die in the next few days.

And here I do include all the Iraqi foot soldiers and civilians, every bit as much as the coalition troops.

Let’s hope it’s quick (That’s the war, and their deaths). Even a necessary war is horrid.

I agree Moggy! As much as I love the technology and tactics related to warfare, I hate war itself, and find it hard to get excited about many social life matters while I know there is people about to die, en masse possibly.
