    Top Stories: Tony Abbott seeks to explain baddies versus baddies comment on situation in Syria

    Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has sought to explain his use of the term "baddies" in relation to the civil war in Syria, saying he was "trying to explain to the public exactly what the situation is".

    The Labor party has seized on the comments, with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd slamming it as "simplistic".

    Yesterday on ABC TV's Insiders program, Mr Abbott said it would be preferable for a political solution to be found to the worsening crisis in Syria, rather than a military one, but he did not think that was likely.

    "We've got a civil war going on in that benighted country between two pretty unsavoury sides. It's not goodies versus baddies - it's baddies versus baddies," he said.
