The word "tonne" is the English language version of an American "ton." A short ton/tonne weighs 2,000 pounds. A metric ton/tonne weighs 2,200 pounds.
The Brits and Aussies have differing spellings for the same words.
A fanny pack here in the US has a far different meaning in OZ, since the word "fanny" in Australia refers to the US expression, "vagina." If you are "pissed" in the UK, then you're drunk. Watch your words of derision. I learned the hard way when I told an Aussie that he was too "pissed off" to "carry on."
That's when a big fist caught me in the face. That's because I was "pissed" after too many Fosters.
The Iraq/Osama connection is a no-brainer in my view. Al Martin's page says Iraqis are helping the Taliban on the ground in Afghanistan. US Special Forces puts down IR sensors near valuable targets to guide the bombs, the Iraqis showed the Taliban how to move the sensors around the corner to some other location, like a Red Cross warehouse or a hospital.
