Australia Dismisses Taliban\'s Scorn
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia on Tuesday shrugged off a Taliban dismissal of Canberra\'s contribution to the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan (news - web sites).
``Don\'t take any notice of these Taliban types,\'\' Defense Minister Peter Reith told Australian television on Tuesday after Taliban ambassador Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef said overnight he could not understand why Australia was joining the attacks.
Australian media said Zaeef laughed when an Australian journalist asked him for reaction to Canberra\'s planned deployment of 1,500 military personnel.
Zaeef said he thought the United States as a superpower would have been able to handle impoverished Afghanistan on its own.
``That\'s the propaganda you\'d expect from them, the reason they\'re saying that is that they don\'t want the impression of the fact that they are isolated in the world community,\'\' Reith said.
Australia, heading for a November 10 general election, has begun deploying military personnel to join the U.S.-British campaign in Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Most of the personnel are support staff and crew on three frigates. But the deployment includes 150 elite Special Air Service troops and four long-range F/A-18A attack aircraft.

What pricks I say, I mean, I think that it is good that Australia is trying to lend a helping hand in whatever way possible. So what if it isnt much (which I dont think it is, as its a pretty big contribution)???
Those Taliban officials can go screw themselves I say, I am so outraged that they could be so rude and arrogant. Pricks.

Ummm, dude, we ARE talking about the same group of folks that beat their women for wearing COLOR, aren\'t we?
Why NOT expect scorn for one country or another?
These guys have not exactly proven themselves to be "well-rounded gentlemen", have they?

Yeah, they are absolute nut jobs thats what I say. The thing that really annoys me though is that they have no remorse what so ever.

And I thought that the New York attacks were sick, but I think this is even sicker, because it shows how twisted they are - they honestly think their going to win!

LOL!!! :laughing:
Forget donkey love, kangaroo love is the way to go!
Im glad to see Australlia mixing it up. But I had no doubt they would. They were in Vietnam back in the day. They have always lended a hand to the U.S.
I would consider Australia more then an ally, they are more like half brothers or step borthers!

HAHAHAHA, Kangaroo rape, I gotta right that one down and send it to Steve Irwin, he\'s gonna love it.
I think Australia are more then just allies to America simply because our way of life is almost identical, and we both uphold the same ideals etc.
I wish we just weren\'t so far apart! It took me 12 hours to get to LAX from Sydney International, YUCK! I hate long flights...
At least its not like the 24.5 hour flight from Sydney to London...
