Howard Slams Obama

The Australian Prime Minister had some choice words for the new Democrat presidential aspirant:

Obama said Saturday at his campaign kickoff in Springfield, Ill., that one of the country's first priorities should be ending the war in Iraq...Australian Prime Minister John Howard, a staunch Bush ally who has sent troops to Iraq and faces his own re-election bid later this year, said Obama's proposals would spell disaster for the Middle East.

"I think that will just encourage those who want to completely destabilize and destroy Iraq, and create chaos and a victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for an Obama victory," Howard said on Nine Network television.
"If I were running al-Qaida in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats."

Well said, but my favorite Howard quote is:

"You either rat on the ally or you stay with the ally."

Getting back to Barak Obama, its obvious that he and other Democrats on the campaign trail are using the anti-war method as an easy vote getter, which I think is a serious mistake showing such irresponsibility in this new Age of Terrorism. And what if we win in Iraq? They'll remind us they were for the war before they were against it.
