Yes, Ted, Australia has a contingent in Iraq. Read the posts on this thread and the cited commentaries. It's all there.

Don't you think that Barack Obama has a point when he calls on our Prime Minister to back up his rhetoric by scaling up our troop numbers?

He won't do it, though...there's an election coming up this year.

Jon Howard is just using Barack Obama to boost his own image.
