Major General Jim Molan, from the Australian Army:

"Everyone else with troops in Iraq is making money. The Poles, the Ukranians, the Brits, the Dutch. Everyone except Australia. It's time we turned that around." - July 2006

Last night I went to an excellent information session about Australia's role in Iraq. I learnt more not only about the AWB (Australian Wheat Board) Scandal, but more broadly, about the role of Australian bureaucrats in the Iraqi Provisional Authority.

Molan is also the person who directed the military operation in Falluja, which was extremely brutal.
