Oz General Gets It

The former head of the Australian army, Professor Peter Leahy, understands the Long War. A Daily Mail (Aus.) article quotes him as follows:

Australia is involved in the early stages of a war which is likely to last for the rest of the century. We must be ready to protect ourselves and, where necessary, act pre-emptively to neutralise the evident threat. Get ready for a long war.

Sadly, few in positions of authority in the U.S. are willing to go on record with views like these. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
