I didn't condemn him, I queried his use of language? As none of us or the media are privy to the intelligence gathered and no military action has been threatened to my knowledge I felt it was an inflammatory thing to say to the public. Not one of us outside of the government has a say in this and trying to whip up opposition by pulling on people's heartstrings seems wrong to me.....although the fear mongering from some tabloids also deserves derision too.

This whole situation is a mess, there are far too many what ifs, buts and maybes

It does give a little perspective to the situation though doesn't it?
Makes you rationalise a little better
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! .....YEAH!
WE SHOULDN'T STAND FOR IT!.... NO!

ALL YOUR KIDS SHOULD SIGN UP IMMEDIATELY!! .... er, hang on a minute :/

We shouldn't accept this rabble rousing reactionary politics, we need examination, discussion, evidence before there is a response.
All this 'we should get behind the govt' Why?
