Are you okay with the fact that he is dumping sheshe2 Jan 2014 #16

I put a question out there. You replied with a different question. DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2014 #21

I'll answer it. It is highly probable that Indonesia knew the Aussies would try, and likely, succeed okaawhatever Jan 2014 #27

Well, you started to answer, but you got sidetracked and blamed me for refugees' woes DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2014 #30

That's the question I'd love to have answered in this thread Aerows Jan 2014 #31

No one seems to want to answer it. DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2014 #34

No, I did answer. It's the revelation itself. I don't buy the meme that the issue was the spying okaawhatever Jan 2014 #53
