According to Abbott IS insurgency in Northern Iraq and Syria had declared “war on the world” and was an “apocalyptic death cult”

” We have not yet made a final decision to commit  our forces to combat but Australian aircraft from 1/10/2014 will start over Iraq in support of allied operations”

However Australia’s new AFP chief Andrew Colvin said

“the low- tech terrorism of Islamic State represented a new kind of threat that would take years to stamp out”

Quite different from Abbott’s “world directed apocalyptic death cult”.

The two seem to be on different pages of the hymn book. However Abbott’s delay while all other coalition countries are flying sorties appears to be a document one. That Australia is being more exacting in its requirement for legal indemnity that the sheer amount of paper work is holding up Abbott’s war. What the fuck is this man trying to extort out of his apocalyptic emergency? The resettlement of Asylum seekers?

So after 3 weeks Australian airstrikes are on hold waiting for clearances from Iraq and a decision I repeat a decision by us.

Senior ADF personnel are expressing their official concerns about the delay given the rest of the coalition are in action. Julie Bishop tells us of the” gathering momentum” but not by us Julie wear are holding the coats in this fight it would seem.
