    Well ...

    I haven't seen reports stating the presence of the Australian forces on the front, but I shall not dispute the claim made in that report.

    Even otherwise, not having a single casualty, specially when the US marines seemed to have a bit of a trouble with detecting the enemies deserves credit.

    .
    I am not a complete idiot. Some parts are still missing.

    Ok, maybe I'm nuts, but that wasn't the original article... they must reuse the same page?

    We're playing it safe no chance of the Americans "accidently" killing us with friendly fire.

    Coalition air forces attacked the facility early in the war, using special bombs to crater the runways so they could not be used.
    "special bombs" meaning cluster bombs.

    Intelligent thinking. I bet even the US soldiers wouldn't know the Australians troops were fighting beside them

    I heard a joke awhile ago it was something like this: (sorry if anyone finds this offensive)

    What do little miss Muffet and Saddam Hussein have in common?










































































    Answer: They both have Kurds in their way.
    That make room for another joke:

    What do the British, Aussies, Kurds and Iraqis have in their way?
























































    Answer: The Americans
