Australians Send More Troops to Afghanistan, Iraq

I love Australia. From their hot-hot sheilas to their blokes' commitment to kill the bad guys, wherever they may be and however tough the fight. Herald Sun:

AUSTRALIA will send helicopters and more troops to Afghanistan as part of the fight against a resurgent Taliban and al-Qaida.

efence Minister Robert Hill confirmed yesterday Australia would send two Chinook helicopters and 110 support personnel to Afghanistan, bringing the total number of Australian military in the country to 300.

Australia is also expected to send a 200-strong team of soldiers and engineers as part of a NATO force this year.

And it looks like Australia has it's share of whiney biyatches, too.
The troop boost comes as Labor steps up calls for Australian soldiers to pull out of Iraq.
What is the government's response for the Labor call to reduce troops?
But while Labor is hardening its troop pull-out line, the Government instead looks likely to add to the 1350 Australian military personnel in and around Iraq.
Thank you friends in Australia. Australia, f*ck yeah! Coming to save the mother-f****** world again!
