The Australian Dollar as converted against the USA dollar. Not a pretty sight ! Exchange rate is one Australian Dollar to 1.08838 USA. Around the middle of December the exchange rate was one Australian Dollar to 1.16863 USA. Pretty soon the Australian Dollar will be worth more than the USA Greenback.
Ironic appearance of the Australian Prime Minister during the day of Bush's worst hour when he declared war on the Shia. Rudd is pulling his troops and his support of the Iraq war. Interesting picture, more interesting moment. Rudd came to talk some sense into Bush over the economic collapse the USA market and dollar. It must have worked, Hank Paulson came out with YET ANOTHER strategy to stop the globally sinking the ship !
See, Mr. Rudd knows the issue is the war and not the Iraq people. He seeks ways to assist Iraq, but, without killing the very people "The West" was supposed to free from tyranny and fear. Bush has a timeline, but, its running out and therefore before the Democrats win in November and remove USA military from Iraq, he's in a hurry to reduce the population of 'trouble makers' and make Iraq safe enough for him to run his oil businesses.

...Mr Rudd said he had made Australia's position — which is for a withdrawal of Australian combat troops by mid-year — "abundantly clear" to the President before and since last year's election. The challenge for the future was "how do we partner with America and our other friends and allies in providing other forms of assistance to the Government of Iraq?"...
The only defining moment this is 'this time' is the beginning of genocide of the Sistani Shia. Maliki never thought much of that political constituency anyway. You know they kill off their opposition in Africa, Kenya was a good example of that this year, so why not get rid of the people that make the Bush Puppet Government answer to them. The Sistani Shia are people of resolve, they survived Saddam Hussein. The Question is will they survive the Bush Genocide? Oil is the goal and nothing stands in the way of Walker Bush or Cheney. They are melting down an entire planet to achieve derricks in the Arctic Ocean, does anyone believe a majority of Shia in Iraq are valued over the oil? No.
