Deccan, the Wamponi?? (really obscure movie reference)

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...

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.

deccan - The Australian PM, just announced that troops are on the way.
Keep your head down, and let us know what is happening your end...

Yep, the S.I. Parliament has passed the "enabling" bill.

Some militants are beating up and generally terrorizing people so that they don't tell on them to the Australians that they have weapons.

If I have time, I'll type up some excerpts from the local newspapers.

Deccan, I just want to thank you for keeping all of us in the know on this one.

So, eh, thank you.

Doh, top item in the news yesterday and today is the export of dolphins from S.I. It's even in the Yahoo headlines.

Ozzie troops are in town patrolling the city centre today. They got airlifted in yesterday. No action of any kind though.

Troops or Police because we sent 150 Police officers too?

It is reported that SI will be receiving 2225 members of the 'Australian-led intervention force' with soldiers and police from Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

13 RAAF Hercules tranport aircraft have began flying in, plus the HMAS Manoora landed about 600 troops at historic Red Beach yesterday.
