Poor Australian Prime Minister John Howard. He's really started something and it'll be interesting to see how it turns out - for him and us here in the U.S.
A day after Illinois Senator Barack Obama announced his plans to run for 2008 clarifying his 'cut and run' Iraq policy with a timetable, Howard was quick to comment. The Prime Minister claimed that such a dreadful policy would plunge Iraq into further bloodshed and play into the hands of the terrorists. He further added the terrorists are likely praying for a Obama and Democrat party victory in 2008.
Obviously, these words didn't go unchallenged and Senator Obama was quick to defend his policy while blasting back at the U.S. ally. And with Howard facing relection at home later this year, things are heating up down under as well. Labor opposition leader Kevin Rudd, quickly siezed upon the moment claiming Howards's comments were tantamount to calling U.S. Democrats the terrorists' party of choice.
Still, I give Howard credit as he defends his criticism about the Illinois Senator's Iraq policy. It isn't easy backing an effort in the Middle East that another country started but isn't willing to see through anymore. It says alot about his character and the Americans.

Sen. Obama Apologizes Again for Saying Troops' Lives Were 'Wasted'
Wow, he managed to work up an apology it makes one wonder if the apology was genuine or forced. Ooo, oo I'll take a stab at that one professor he was genuinely forced! It's really discuting how Obama can get away with saying something like that and still remain a candidate. John Howard should run for president here! How I wish the republicans had the "cahones" of this outstanding seuthsayer from Austrailia.

Barak Hussein Obama (his real full name) is a Christian, or so he says. And we readily believe that from a guy with that name. Could be though. Give him the benefit of the doubt.
There were two scary ideas in his announcement to run for President.
Firstly, he indicated he believes the founders made the constitution amenable to change. To the contrary, it is very difficult to change. The reason? Why have a written constitution if it is readily changed? A changing constitution equals no constitution.
Secondly, he wants to go to Washington to change our system of government. In favor of what system? - socialism, communism, sharia law? Our representative republic has proven the strongest most workable democratic form of government ever devised.
This man is a smooth talking, sophisticated demigod. He has no love for our Constitution, no love for our system of government, and no live for our military.
What does he love?
