While Julie Bishop has been busy in the past few days, ramping-up her master's favourite fear meme about ISIS, by claiming that the organisation is pursuing the development of chemical weapons, she & her colleagues from Team Awstrayla neglected to mention the latest terrorist activities being supported by our “special friend” the US, which has been busy supplying cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia to drop on the civilian population of Yemen.

Of course the US has been far too busy as the chief proponent, financier & enforcer of the so-called “war on terror” to have found time to join the international ban on cluster bombs adopted by 116 of the world’s nations so far.

Helps explain what Tony Abbott means when he says the “terrorists hate us for who we are”.
