Digg: Obama slams Australia's PM Howard

What an idiot we have for a prime minister! I mean really, how the hell did he get re-elected? I hope Kevin Rudd wins in the coming election. Here is the main article, and this is the Digg commentary.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard has involved himself in the US presidential race by stating that Al-Qaeda is "praying" that Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), and the Democrats in general, will win in 2008. An Obama spokesman dismissed the criticism as "cowboy rhetoric."

Obama himself said: "I think it's flattering that one of George Bush's allies on the other side of the world started attacking me the day after I announced".
"I would also note that we have close to 140,000 troops in Iraq, and my understanding is Mr Howard has deployed 1,400, so if he is ... to fight the good fight in Iraq, I would suggest that he calls up another 20,000 Australians and sends them to Iraq. Otherwise it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric."
