SYDNEY - Australian special forces troops will be deployed in Iraq to assist in the fight against ISIS militants (http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/tracing-rise-isis-menace-terror-n214266), Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Friday.

Its aircraft will also join U.S.-led coalition strikes. Abbott said in a nationally televised news conference the Australian troops would be engaged in an "advise and assist" capacity to support the Iraqi army in their battle against the militant Islamist group.

They don't take any shit in their country, they don't deny real solutions, they're not afraid to act and their results are undeniable.

We could learn something from them

Welcome to the fight

Our Parliament is discussing it today, what our combat mission will be. I'm going to follow the question period.

This is the live feed of our parliament: http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/live/2014/09/question-period.html

Stupid government.

One side sounds really cranky. Who is who?

Are you watching the feed?

Cranky side would be made up of Liberals and the NDP (opposition parties), however, heckling and low shots are part of question period. Insulting each other is part of the process.

Yes. It is very interesting. Now I am on the link to where the PM is speaking about comat in Iraq!

The guy that delivers my coffee is funny. I told him we were joining and he says, "It's Obama. He's disgusting. His whole presidency has been disgusting. Now they push for us to help them like it's our fault." This guy speaks very accented English (I think he's French) but he was so emphatic about Obama being disgusting for his foreign policy.
