Q&A tomorrow

TVNZ say:
Guyon Espiner is in Sydney with the Prime Minister and will be asking him about Australia-NZ relations. Just how close does John Key imagine us getting? What’s in it for us? And what do we put at risk?
Paul Holmes will be interviewing David Kilcullen, one of America’s leading military advisers in Afghanistan and the author of The Accidental Guerilla. Paul will be talking to him live from Melbourne about the prospects for peace in Afghanistan and the sort of operations the New Zealand SAS is likely to be engaged in.
Kilcullen spoke to a CIS conference in Australia a couple of years ago. He is a real expert on Afghanistan and counter-terrorism and well worth listening to. Don’t expect to get a rosy view from him – he is very down to earth and realistic.

Q & A? you mean the Holmes Show.
Q & A is quite a pleasure to watch when that fool is not there. The guests can actually finish a sentence.
Looks like I’m off to the market to enjoy the sun instead.

Whatever happened to the TV3 version of Agenda or whatever the Richard Harmon programme was called?
[DPF: It is likely to start in March or April next year]

“he is very down to earth and realistic.”
It will be very good to hear from an American who is not clinical and sanitised.
You wouldn’t think people bleed according to their irrelevant journalism.
Many Americans turn to the BBC when they want REal news.

Great name that man. Where was he when we really needed him?

“It will be very good to hear from an American who is not clinical and sanitised. ”
Kilcullen is an Australian.

“Kilcullen is an Australian”
There I stand confirmed
the Marxist PC American media and officialdom would never say anything down to earth and realistic.
Its so obvious Diane Sawyer would lose her job by lunch time if she talked like that.

Willie jackson as usual spoiled the show with his persistant interuptions and racial bigotry. I have felt Jackson an intellectual pigmy besides John Tamihere but besides Therese Arsenau he is an amoeba.
