Tell me why should they? It's all lies lies anyway. Maybe you will see that on Fox snooze, but that wouldn't surprise me in the least. What you might see on those channels is what Obama's response was to that idiot Howard. Obama's response not ony earned my respect, but he told Howard to STFU.
Obama's camp responds…
"If Prime Minister Howard truly believes what he says, perhaps his country should find its way to contribute more than just 1,400 troops so some American troops can come home," he said. "It's easy to talk tough when it's not your country or your troops making the sacrifices."
and this:
"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," Senator Obama said in Iowa.
"I would also note that we have close to 140,000 troops in Iraq, and my understanding is Mr Howard has deployed 1400, 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."

The truth hurts doesn't it?
**Hey Jerry, Obama's response is not a talking point, its the facts. Something Fox snooze knows nothing about.

It may make at as a way to damage relations with Australia but you're probably right. They wouldn't want to report anything negative on the chosen one.

In my humble opinion, if Mr. Prime minister thought this war was such a good idea, he would have committed more than the handful of troops he sent over - many of which have been recalled.
He is entitled to his opinion, however.

Just a little note...
I like how the few answers above mine are so similiar.
Looks like the liberals have gotten better at handing out their talking points.

John Howard is a flat out jackass. He should get his nutjob nose out of where it doesn't belong.
