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.
