Downer diverts us again
Alexander Downer, Howard’s go-to-guy.
Howard will do anything to make sure that Australia and Australians stay moved on.
Today three members of the Australian Military were hurt in Baghdad.
I hoped that with this news, the government would acknowledge that yes, we have ADF personnel in Iraq, and yes they may get hurt/killed.
Instead Howard calls Downer and says,
"Alex, come up with a conspiracy theory to take the focus off these boys getting hurt."
Alex obliges…..
