They lied.

The CPO had sent off the request for a list of weaponry 2 weeks ago.

The authorized form came back and answered " none".

Did we believe them?

We did not.

The CPO had a contingency at Fairbairn when they landed and duly had them all turn out their non-existent weaponry so he could make a stocktake.

Who would have thunk that the SS would lie to an ally?

The CPO.

Onya Roman!

As my bus was driving into work today I could see the workmen mowing the grassy knoll.

IIRC, the area directly behind the photographer would make a good sniper's nest vantage point.

The only protesters holding a demonstration to coincide with Mr Obama's visit - the pro-cannabis camp all the way from Nimbin - definitely get points for their slogans. Along with the giant joint balloon they have erected, AAP is reporting some of their slogans include: "Legalise? Yes we cannabis!"

Good thing Mr Obama isn't home at the moment. NBC News reports a bullet was fired at the White House last week, striking one of the building's bullet-proof windows. Another round was also fired, but missed the building.

Is Chuck Norris going, too? Oh well, then, the Prez will be fine. Chuck could take down all you Crocodile Dundees with one hand tied behind his back! ;)

I must make a correcting statement about my initial information of the weaponry cock-up.

It was actually the Commonwealth Government who wasn't providing the information as they incorrectly thought they had jirisdiction over more than the airspace, Fairbairn Airport and the Parliamentry Triangle.

The rest is the responsibility of us, the more municipal type Government with National responsibilities thrown in as well. Which is only a minuscule amount.

Image

Not a very large area of Canberra at all.

So the SS had co-operated with the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth had neglected to pass the information on for the dispensations to be sought. and it was the Commonwealth who provided e nil response as they felt the had covered it off.

*sigh*
Bah!

That's good otherwise we'd have to go Chuck Norris on your asses-

Although it is not common knowledge, there are actually three sides to the Force: the light side, the dark side, and Chuck Norris.

That title has always intrigued me. Is it saying that the US is the only free country in the world or that the POTUS' leadership extends beyond the US?

I'm not US bashing BTW... I'm genuinely curious.

More US troops to train in Australia
Max Blenkin, AAP Defence Correspondent
November 16, 2011 - 9:04PM .

AAP

More United States troops will train in Australia, starting next year with a force of up to 250 Marines that will be eventually expanded to a force of 2500.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard made the announcement on Wednesday alongside President Barack Obama, saying the plan would build on the 60-year-old ANZUS alliance between the two nations.
