Australia's military stays, thank the AWB?

I wonder will we see the Australian Wheat Board scandal - at least so far as jeopardising Howard’s cabinet of ass licking politicians is concerned, back off from major exposure, and give a safer distance from further damage of ministers?

Howard’s cabinet would like to heave a joint sigh of relief from their heads falling further on the AWB chopping block. Can cabinet members keep their jobs whilst the scandal and corruption from the AWB fallout is contained, and hopefully by Howard shifted in alternate safer direction? I admit to no solid evidence but wonder if the AWB kickback scandal doesn't revolve around the “Long War” of the Pentagon? Inside the Fourth Reich of the Bush administration's global struggle against USA antagonised Islamic terrorism, holding Australia to her role as close ally remains a priority. Such a critical association is going to demand the ability to bring errant policies and politicians into line when matters shift in undesired directions.

The newly appointed Australian Defence Minister Brendan Nelson has given firm signals that Australia’s troop deployment in Iraq will continue. After all there was talk of Australia’s deployment in Iraq being wound up as the Japanese completed their mission. The strength and credibility of the "coalition of the willing" would look very unhelpful if Australia pulled troops back home. The public relations value to the US military global strategy for prosecuting the war on terrorism would be harmed if junior partner Australia downgraded its commitment from Iraq.

Supposedly the Bush administration has refrained from public pressure on Canberra to contribute more forces to Iraq and Afghanistan. I suspect this is a public position only, and not reality behind the scene. Blackmail strings could be deployed rigorously by the Bush administration and their New World Order forces to see Canberra remained intertwined with US military operations?

Even though Brendan Nelson says Canberra has yet to make its decision, that the option of re-deployment “remained on the table”. I have trouble believing this for one minute, his statement gives the impression of Australia’s independence in deploying our military… the reality is Australia cannot pull out of Iraq if the Howard government looses office from exposure of AWB type scandals. We will probably see Australia now raise its commitment to the government manufactured war on terrorism, now that ministers have had their pants scared off their pathetic backsides.

There is little question a useful and effective tool of state control has always been potential exposure and compromise of key politicians. Canberra will pass whatever ruthless Internationalists agenda the Anglo/American agenda et all insists upon, if ministers feel their backsides heating up.
