As we see from the quagmire in Iraq, where at an enormous
cost in blood and money the USSA has achieved nothing but
an INCREASE in the terrorist threat and the removal of a
check on Iranian regional influence, by defeating their

Hardly what anyone would call 'leadership'.

As Davos shows, Bush is entirely without any real leadership,
and like Howard has been left beached and uselessly flapping
his gills, just like Howard.

  Facing defeat, the Prime Minister yesterday changed
  not only his team but its tone." -Andrew Bolt 24/1/2007


Fraser accuses current PM of marginalising Muslims"

"I believe that this is divisive, dangerous and false."

"Mr Fraser said the Government was gearing up for
what he called a Muslim election next year.

       - Malcolm Fraser    ABC 2/11/2006

Every election, Howard creates DIVISION for a DIVERSION.
