Can anyone remember an Australian war that took off so fast? It was August 21 that we got out first beheading WTF and under one month later boots are on the ground, planes are dropping bombs and household raids are happening across Australia to prevent alleged truncations at home.
It’s all happened before there is any debate, any strategy, any international coalition, any thought. Prime Minister Abbott is off to New York to try to figure it all out in retrospect:
The final plans to wage war against Islamic State will be co-ordinated in private meetings between world leaders in New York next week, clearing the way for action to start.
