    I must say I am liking this guy more and more, however there is a lot to be decided. But am pleased on his decision to remove the majority of troops from the debatable "war" in Iraq. It shows our point that we as a country don't agree nor do we accept half of the propaganda that is fed to us to keep us defending the U.S in a power struggle. We were there in the times that was agreeable and helped but now unquestionable - we will pull back.

    Howard did not say he was going to remove troops from Iraq.

    I read about him, he has a humble beginning and he showed to be a people's PM and listen to the people more. Compared to Howard, he has the feet more to the ground.

    Howard hadn't said he would pull troops - Howard was always up in arms and saying he may pull so many troops out but doesn't plan on upsetting the relations between U.S and Australia.
