...them, and not right now. Instead, Rudd has said he will "begin negotiations with the Americans and Iraqis" on the withdrawal, in mid-2008, of one-third of the Australian troops in Iraq and the Gulf. A thousand will remain, to the dismay of Labor's antiwar left wing, and more may be sent to train Iraqi soldiers in Jordan or Oman. Rudd will consider sending more troops to join the 1,000 in Afghanistan...
...daily video record of the war, kept by a soldier whose buddies see their sergeant blown up by an IED and go a little crazy. In a long scene that shocks and sickens, they break into an Iraqi home, rape a girl and slaughter her family. An antiwar splatter movie, Redacted ain't subtle.

Such behavior doesn't seem to deter buyers. In April, the auction house Bonham's sold his Space and Bird...
...Obey's temper that got him into trouble last year when he was approached in the hallway by a member of an antiwar group called Code Pink. Calling them "idiot Democrats" who couldn't grasp why it was impossible to cut funding to the troops at that time, Obey became a YouTube star for that, and he later apologized...
