OT : Australian intervention in Solomon Islands

[deccan]

The S.I. Parliament unanimously passed a "policy statement" stating their support in principle to the intervention, but the actual 'enabling" bill has yet to be passed.

The S.I. Prime Minister has also requested that the Australians only investigate and prosecute crimes that occur after the intervention and not before. He was widely booed. Looks like someone's trying to cover their behinds.

For example, there's this clan that goes around calling themselves the lost tribe of Israel, or something, complete with silly justifications on how they ended up in this part of the world and are black.

Do they also have a great love for orange soda and a terrible sense of direction?

Remember what I said about them not being prone to terrorism? I have a feeling they might make an exception to you if you tell that to them in their face.

I heard today that Australian troops are expected to be in SI within the week, assuming both OZ & SI government gives the go ahead...

[deccan]

There are rumors that the OZ troops are on a ship waiting outside S.I. waters. I do know that there are advance scouts already in the country.

Keep your head down, and let us know what is happening your end...
