From Raw Story:
The government has admitted the need to secure oil supplies is a factor in Australia's continued military involvement in Iraq.
Defence Minister Brendan Nelson said today oil was a factor in Australia's contribution to the unpopular war, as "energy security" and stability in the Middle East would be crucial to the nation's future.
Speaking ahead of a key foreign policy speech today by Prime Minister John Howard, Dr Nelson said defence was about protecting the economy as well as physical security, and it was important to support the "prestige" of the US and UK.
"The defence update we're releasing today sets out many priorities for Australia's defence and security, and resource security is one of them," he told ABC radio.

Did someone say "cat"?
LOL! Poor Kittybowtie.....
Now comes the fall out as Australia is withdrawing their troops. PM Brown is caught in corruption with the Gerbil. Ex-PM Blair is known as a lair to the UK people. Let's hope Americans can deal with the fact that the White House lied about the invasion of Iraq. Knowing how it was all about oil and nothing to do with helping the Iraq people.
Most likely Americans would rather beleive the lie then the truth.
