Australian Special Forces save 36 Americans

[SlowwHand]

It was in the newspaper and on the television, Wiglaf.
Doubtful that all media in the States is collectively trying to make the Aussies appear more than they are.

[Wiglaf]

Let me guess. By "all media in the States" you meant CNN? Typical.

I can not find a Fox link to confirm it for Wiglaf. However I did find something to confirm that we aren't the only power with troops taking part in the on going opp:

The large-scale U.S. assault, code-named Operation Anaconda, marked a new approach. Instead of relying on Afghan forces to take the fight to the Al Qaeda, with U.S. troops in support, the Americans took the lead. Afghan, Canadian, Australian, German, Danish, Norwegian and French forces were supporting.

Fighting was fierce, by all accounts, in difficult conditions.

Is anyone else suprised that the French are taking part in the ongoing battle? I wonder how they stifle the urge to surrender.

[Wiglaf]

Guess what the first sentence in that little article is, Dino?

Seven Americans died and 11 were wounded in incidents involving two MH-47 Chinook helicopters that were hit by enemy fire.

And we know that we're being "supported". That's a very broad term in case you CAN'T REALIZE IT ON YOUR OWN.

There's a shocker.

Typical, of what?
No, I'm talking about WFAA News, an ABC affiliate, for one.
The Dallas News, for another.
How many sources you need before you're not so wigged out?
Why do you argue the point so vehemently?
Were you sexually assaulted by a koala bear, and now hold it against Australia?

You seem to be quite the ghoul. What with wanting people to die and all that. I wonder why providing apparently needed military resources isn't enough to satisfy you. Why exactly are you baying for blood?

Of your everyday, average blinded liberal silly American I guess.

How cute. Dallas News? I want a link. WFAA, PDFSBDIBI, PFHNIUFUSBN, DFUSJIDCMNF, yadadadadda. I wanted FOX.

I don't want anyone to die. It's just that lots of Americans have, proof that they've been involved in serious combat, yet no Aussies at all did in Anaconda. Something's a little wrong with that picture...maybe the coalition isn't doing all they could?

I'd be a lot happier if you guys could provide a detailed link straight from FOX that spells out exactly how we were "bailed out" so to speak by allied forces, whether they be French, Czechinbakish, Canadians, Aussies, whatever and whoever. That would remove most of the doubt in my mind.

[Buck Birdseed]

I'm slighlty surprised considering who owns FOX that they aren't sucking up to Australians. Murdoch is known for his ruthless use of media for his own purposes...

[KrazyHorse]

That assumes he's extremely patriotic and cares enough about pushing Aussie goodness at the expense of frightening away his xenophobic viewership.

[SlowwHand]

Cute, Wiglaf? Interesting.
Dallas, without surrounding suburbs, is the 8th largest city in the United States.
It's not New York City, but it's not Podunk either.

(sorry, again, it's not your beloved Fox.)
I've seen your name referenced before, and wondered at the reason.
Thank you for clearing that up for me.

[Wiglaf]

What's wrong with FOX? Ever watched it at all? I suppose you guys live in Paris so I shouldn't be too hard on you, but it's a rather fair question given your extremely sickening attitude.

Either this is a 15 year-old Finn laughing himself to death in front of his computer or it's an overweight 43 year-old American whose veins are popping out of his skull with anger.
