Colonel,
The elections are due!
Even Bush is subdued from those days when he landed on the aircraft carrier with Mission Accomplished and all that stuff about smoking ObL out dead or alive.
Politicians are pragmatic cats with nine lives, the world over!
I don't take them seriously.
Australia has a small army. Therefore, even if it says that it will double the show, it is just a drop in the ocean when you look at a problem like Iraq or Afghanistan.
Right now, since there is so little information in the public forum, that one feels that Afghanistan is bumbling along merrily and quite rudderless.
I sure hope that is not the case.
