"It's important for them to play by the rules of the road," Obama said, barely stifling a burst of laughter at the irony of the statement.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact Australia is home to a quarter of all known Uranium reserves.

It's about time that we took a strong stance on those damned dropbears.

You're forgetting Death From The Sky with a UV Index that can reach 17 (I bet you thought it was a 1-10 scale) and causes two thirds of Australians to have skin cancer at some point in their lives. (Today's late spring UV forecast) (new window)

But hey, at least the Sharks and Crocodiles aren't venomous.

Platypuses are monotremes, which are egg laying mammals. They are also venomous.

Aww, you're still our best bud. Its just you need us more than we need you, and wishing America ill means wishing yourself ill. So you guys put up with it, because you have to. After all, what is good for America is good for Canada. Of course of course! *smiles*

Americans couldn't name Canada's PM 15 or 20 years ago either.

The only that has changed is your personal awareness of the relationship. We never gave a shiat about anyone but ourselves. And still don't.

I agree with Winston Churchill. There should be a Commonwealth of English Speaking Nations. Screw the EU. The British have far more in common with us than they do the frog eaters, the goose-steppers or the rest of Europe. The U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand united militarily, economically and politically. No tariffs, no passports and a common currency.

/Sorry South Africa ... you no longer qualify.
 
2011-11-16 11:39:56 PM
So Australia wants better leverage against China and the U.S. wants a bigger military base close enough to have the threat of F22/35s and cruise missiles that can hit the Chinese mainland, which gives them better leverage and keeps China under our thumb a bit better for the moment?

Plus, the fact that Harper is in charge of your country probably isn't something you'd want the rest of the world to know.

I'll fire the first salvo:

All Aussies f*ckin LOVE Foster's. It's their favorite beer, indeed the only thing they ever drink with their shrimps on the barbie.

I have to admit though that I laughed at one of Obama's speeches he gave here. (new window)

"As many of you know, I first came to Australia as a child. But despite my visits, I have to admit I never did learn to talk "Strine." I know there is some concern here that your Australian language is being Americanized. So perhaps it's time for us to reverse the trend. Tonight, with your permission, I'd like to give it a burl.

I want to thank the Prime Minister for a very productive meeting that we had today. I think she'll agree it was a real chinwag. When Julia and I meet, we listen to each other, we learn from each other. It's not just a lot of earbashing. That's a good one -- earbashing. I can use that in Washington. Because there's a lot of earbashing sometimes.

That's been the story of our two nations. Through a century of progress and struggle, we have stood together, in good times and in bad. We've faced our share of sticky wickets. In some of our darkest moments -- when our countries have been threatened, when we needed a friend to count on -- we've always been there for each other. At Darwin. At Midway. After 9/11 and after Bali.

It's that moment, in the midst of battle -- when the bullets are flying and the outcome is uncertain -- when Americans and Aussies look over at each other, knowing that we've got each other's backs, knowing in our hearts -- no worries, she'll be right.

And so tonight -- as we mark 60 years of this remarkable alliance, through war and peace, hardship and prosperity -- we gather together, among so many friends who sustain the bonds between us, and we can say with confidence and with pride: The alliance between the United States and Australia is deeper and stronger than it has ever been -- spot on -- cracker-jack -- in top nick.

Thank you very much, everybody. (Applause.)"

Xetal: and the U.S. wants a bigger military base close enough to have the threat of F22/35s and cruise missiles that can hit the Chinese mainland

2700 miles is close enough?
