G'Day mate - "Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was swept into office in November largely on the promise that he would bring home the country's 550 combat troops by the middle of 2008, saying the Iraq deployment has made Australia more of a target for terrorism?". It would of been a thing if it was said "he would bring home the country's 550,000 combat troops" not his 550 only, and, just what did HIS 550 troups do over there in the first place?. Why were they not in the news daily. Was he just scared when he said "It'll make Australia more of a target for terrorism" if troops stayed?. He's just like the "cut and run" other liberal's, won't stay till the job is done.
