Tony Abbott sought military advice on go-it-alone invasion of Iraq

 

TONY Abbott suggested a unilateral invasion of Iraq, with 3500 Australian ground troops to confront the Islamic State terrorist group.

Flanked by his chief of staff, Peta Credlin, in a meeting in ­Canberra on November 25, the Prime Minister said the move would help halt the surge of ­Islamic State in northern Iraq.

After receiving no resistance from Ms Credlin or his other staff in the room, Mr Abbott then raised the idea with Australia’s leading military planners. The military officials were stunned, telling Mr Abbott that sending 3500 Australian soldiers without any US or NATO cover would be disastrous for the ­Australians.

In the news tonight, Tony Abbott vehemently denied having suggested this and dismissed it as untrue, fictional and fanciful.

He tells a lot of lies & mistruths.

What do the other people involved at the same time say? Those - in a meeting in ­Canberra on November 25 &  these -   raised the idea with Australia’s leading military planners.

He wanted to send 1000 troops into the Ukraine, so I do think it is believeable about him wanting to send 3500 Aust ground troops into Iraq.

Poor old icy is really up to date on this. Perhaps she should get out of her lpcal party rooms and into a library and learn a bit of of history.

"It's not easy for a Prime Minister to be constantly attacked by a rabble-rousing bunch of lefty right wing has-beens and a rabid press, either"

I'm sure Gillard would be well aware of this.

Who ever is writing these posts for Icy is really playing her for a fool

Interesting post tezza, I agree with your thoughts, especially at the end.

He vehemently denies "formally" suggesting such action.

Even the Poms are laughing at us. Stray item, filler, p.37 in the UK Independent:
“Flaming koalas! Australia has been invited to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest!”
Here we go. After a bit of the usual, it ends on this:
” … who should the Aussies put out to bat? …most previous Eurovision entries [are] self-centred, talentless narcissists who get a kick out of embarrassing themselves before an audience of millions. Tony Abbott it is, then.”

yeah, but he is too bald and sleazy.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott wasted five minutes of his life talking to an imbecile who has a hearing problem or closely related to a parrot, Polly the parrot journo kept asking the same question over and over, our Prime Minister is too nice for this scum, he needs to drop the word fanciful and call it lies and as for that dumb numb and deaf journo walk, tell him where to go and walk off.
