Middle name: Winston

While demonstrating that he has little idea of how Al-Q operates and that he, too, can stoop to the level of childish rhetoric employed by Fox News, Howard has invited this succinct smackdown from Team Obama:

"If Prime Minister Howard truly believes what he says, perhaps his country should find its way to contribute more than just 1,400 troops so some American troops can come home," [Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs] said. "It's easy to talk tough when it's not your country or your troops making the sacrifices."

Ah, yes, the old 'look at the scoreboard for a bit of a reality check' response. Nice.

Tip-dog.
