Distinct lack of class on the Aussie's part.

He said Mr Howard exemplified the qualities of one of the world's greatest democracies.

"Prime Minister John Howard is a leader of exceptional courage, who exemplifies the finest qualities of one of the world's greatest democracies," he said.

Could you give us that one more time just in case we missed it?

What do you expect from a Green Party member?

[GeronL]

Nettle was also removed

The only Green who didn't get kicked out was Mr.Michael Organ... imagine "The Organ will be removed"

[Taiwan Bocks]

President Bush was really hot! This was a great speech, and he was charismatic.

I am curious what the Aussies were saying all together so many times, instead of applauding. Was it, "Hear, hear"? It didn't sound like "hear, hear."

Super moment for America and Bush!

Magnificent home run of a speech! Bravo!

[MEG33]

Howard was a friend when we needed a friend.God bless our Aussie allies.

My favorite part of W's speech was his off-cuff remark: "I love free speech."

I would imagine the Iraqi people agree with him.

I remember watching a video of Saddam in session with his parliment. He charged members of that group with trying to kill him. He would call out the name of each accused conspirator, and guards would take them away to be executed. You could see the terror in the faces of everyone in the room. It was chilling.

Distinct lack of class on the Aussie's part.

Yeh, some Russian intelligencia complained about the lack of class on the part of the Bolshevicks...

This guy is Green! What do you expect from people that, in essence, adhere to "any means" approach to life?

[MJY1288]

I agree 100%, That was a powerful speech without a bunch of ass kissing, just the hard facts about the threats we face and the things free nations have always stood for and what we must stand for today.

I really liked the part where he said "Freedom is not for the elite (emphesis mine) few, it's the right of all humanity"

Very powerful

[OldFriend]

You are so right. Magnificent speech and thank you FNC for being the ONLY station to broadcast this speech.

[Dan from Michigan]

Typical Green party guy. No different than the Greens here.

[etcetera]

Australia should be granted a "Most Favored, Favored Nation" status. If the asian nations won't trade with 'em, Australia can trade with us. Expand NAFTA to include the Aussies.

[Restorer]

Mr Brown started groaning as George W. Bush told assembled politicians that no one who cared about human rights in the Middle East could mourn the ousting of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

I'm curious whether Senator Brown mourns the ousting of SH or that he was ousted by American military power.

I'd think almost anybody, even a Green, would find it difficult to regret SH not being in power anymore.

[Pyro7480]

It was hear, hear.

[maui_hawaii]

This was an excellent speech.

[maui_hawaii]

Whats the tone on the street about this speech in the land of the long white hippie liberal cloud of weed smoke?

[AMNZ]

No worse than Maxine Water's "Shut Up!!!"

George's, "I love freedom of speech!" following those idiots was perfect and well recieved by the rest of Parliment.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

For those who have not been paying close enough attention, the Left has abandoned all semblance of civility world wide. And it's going the get worse as their power continues to decline. IMO, we Conservatives should do the civilized thing and stomp on them severely while they are down. :O)

They have their Ted Kennedy clones.
