miles...."If the rules of engagement or the main problem and so restricting why is it that the Aust and UK forces in the main are achieving better results than the US with out the fuk ups in places like Iraq yet they have on many occassions refused to carry out attacks on targets indentified by the US that fitted into the US's rules of engagement because in their view they either were not of importance or an attack would result in unacceptable civilian harm."

I am in now way denigrating or belittleing the Oz contribution in Iraq but to compare their actions in the present climate to those that are part of the daily action reports of the US is laughable

The Oz forces are almost exclusively engaged in protection of their own assets and diplomats and some business interests

Not in any way tackling the insurgents or otherwise.
