Bollocks and Hypocrisy

First we had History Boy telling the world that John Key single handedly caused the current financial meltdown in America because he once worked for Merril Lynch and now we have Dear Leader accusing him of mass murder. This is becasue if National had been in Power (a capital P for that as we are talking Helen Clark) 60 New Zealand troops would have died and be coming home in body bags.

We have the vehement peacenik of the seventies, who I have pictured below for easey reference,



a) talking bollocks and b) parading her well known hypocrisy credentials for all to see.

First the bollocks. For starters New Zealand have sent troops to Iraq. They went there after the invasion but that is when most of the US troops have died anyway. Australia sent troops and how many of them have died at the hands of the enemy? None, nil, zip, nada. A couple have died due to accidents and in fact more Aussie troops have died in training within Orstralia over the period. If Helen wants to save lives she should stop training our rump of an army and send them to war, they would be much safer. Her '60 blokes in body bags' is also mathmatical fairy stories. This is a number plucked from the sky and has no relation to anything. She says it is prorata the number of US troops who are there, or exist or something. There are numerous ways of actually doing the meaningless sums (for starters the US Military numbers 2.9 million and the NZ Military comes to 11,000) but which ever way you do it a Kiwi soldier might have sprained an ankle. In the time that JOhn Key was slaughtering our troops wholesale in the Middle East Helen Clark has sent four Kiwi soldiers to the great mess in the sky in East Timor.

The hypocrisy. As if we needed more examples from the woman who wrote the manual. This is the same woman who said this 'The Victoria Cross for New Zealand is the supreme military award for valour. This is the first Victoria Cross for New Zealand to be awarded since it was instituted in 1999. This decoration continues the tradition of the Victoria Cross previously awarded under a British Royal Warrant to members of the New Zealand military since 1860, the last of which was awarded in 1946.' This whilst grandstanding over Willie Apiata's VC which he won by saving the life of a colleague who would otherwise have died because Helen Clark sent him to Afghanistan.
