LOSE THE BATTLE AND WIN THE WAR ON LIBERTY!Federal Opposition leader Mark Latham is attempting to boost the ALP's credentials with the United States, saying a Labor government would go to war again if the US was the target of another major terrorist attack.
[The problem with idea is that the USA, CIA, reichstag September 11 was an inside job.]Mr Latham has used a major foreign policy speech in Sydney to pledge more assistance in the war against terrorism,
[? the war on liberty], in the Asia-Pacific region and against anyone targeting the US,
[? CIA], citing Labor's previous support for the war in Afghanistan.
[? An illegal and degrading war against humanity]"Should another attack produce an "identifiable source", we'd be prepared to support similar action," he said.
[Should the CIA produce another 'reichstag' like false flag operation September 11 then we'd be prepared to support similar action? Like pre-emptive wars on sovereign nations?]What about the behaviour of the US towards it's neighbours. Having regard for provocation and bullying by the Super Power is essential and that is why we need a Green Vote.
Even if the US are 'stupid' and 'ignorant' and go around accusing people of being demons, using the 'power' corporate media to black list people they don't like rather than using dialogue and working out a peaceful solutions.
Perhaps more pragmatic than 'war torn countries without security, infrastructure, or resources' like Iraq and Afghanistan unable to form any form of 'democratic government', but only puppet government's put in place by the Coalition of the Killing.
The Government says Kim Beazley taking on the defence portfolio for Labor is a token bid to patch up the party's relationship with the US Government. Mr Beazley says his job is to just advocate "good policy".
"If you've got an explanation for the Americans, they won't necessarily like what you're saying but provided you appreciate what you're doing over time they come to not agree with it, they come to accept it," Mr Beazley said.
Diplomacy: Lose the Battle and Win the War on Liberty
Mr Beazley's compromising is much the same as Mark Latham and Peter Garret's - you can see the pattern - and that's why you need to Vote Green this Federal Election - because you can't have everything you wan't but you can 'compromise', especially when things have become really bad - and human rights and International Law are at stake.
Mr Latham has again criticised the war on Iraq and reiterated his promise to withdraw Australian troops,
[militants], before the end of the year.
But he has also pledged $75 million in humanitarian aid to help rebuild the country.
[?]He also used the speech to call for a permanent engagement with Asia.
He accused,
[war criminal], Prime Minister John Howard of "compromising" Australia's capacity for leadership in the region.
Mr Latham says Australia should have played a larger role in maritime security talks in South-East Asia to stop terrorists targeting shipping.
"Where was Australia in all this? We have massive regional expertise and maritime and air forces well suited to these tasks," Mr Latham said.
[To stop what terrorist targeting shipping?]He has urged closer ties with Indonesia, outlining plans to help that country's counter-terrorism forces and education system.
[But in Indonesia the government is the terrorist so how does he counter that? Austraia even promotes military operations like the genocide in East Timor and was complicit in the 2nd CIA, call to arms, mini nuked Bali bomb blast in 2002, killing 88 Australian's.]One would also hope that he is mindful of Indonesia's 'terrorist forces' because Indonesia is in not what it seems and it is clear that there is more than meets the eye going on in Indonesia.
In Sydney yesterday, Mr Latham made a major speech on Labor's policies on Iraq, outlining plans to give economic and humanitarian aid. Mr Latham says Labor will not be backing down from its policy of withdrawing Australian troops,
[militants], operating in Iraq and says Labor will take advice on the security of the Australian diplomatic mission in Baghdad.
"A Labor government will work closely with the Iraqi authorities and the United States to provide additional expertise training and resources for border security," he said.
Mr Latham says the best contribution Australia can make is to help rebuild Iraq, committing $75 million over two years to the job. That will fund a program to protect Iraq's border by providing additional expertise, training and resources.
[But nothing is being rebuilt in Iraq and all that is happening is occuption, destruction and genocide.]Labor's second priority is health care and providing health and humanitarian aid to build a specialist oncology hospital and training.
[? 600,000 dead Iraqi's]Mr Latham says a Labor government would also contribute 20 to 30 military or civilian personnel to protect a reconstituted United Nation mission in Baghdad.
"We will assist the staffing of the UN mission in Iraq," Mr Latham said. This policy allows us to maintain our commitment to withdraw from the coalition forces in Iraq by Christmas, while meeting Labor's long-held determination to support the UN and its operations."By Vote 1 The Greens 13 July 04THE MONK:
