Re: How about nearly a billion reasons the Australians might have for not rocking the boat in Iraq

What about 22% of the world's reserves in Iraq? That's much more than 100 billion barrels of oil. That's worth at least three trillion, if not five. $890 million of grain for the Australians versus three thousand billion dollars worth of oil for the US.

If truth in media in any given country is going to be measured by economic rewards, then Australia wins the contest hands down.

Can you come up with more creative ways to discredit the Australian media?

PS the $890 million refers to Australian dollars which are worth 54 cents US ($480 million US). The $3 trillion for oil is US dollars.
