Our forces are on what our diminutive Prime Minister calls "forward 
deployment". They left our shores some weeks ago and are in the area. To 
date I understand we have had four killed when a chopper fell down. 
Their is a special services group of a like size as we committed to 
Afghanistan, more ships in the gulf than we have had there all those 
years, plus some aircraft. All detailed in our press.

Australia has a mentality of a Pub dog. If there is a fight anywhere, it 
has to be in it, even if there is no visible connection....
