I don't know of any commentators who are in the business of making up facts. They may spin them one way or another, but they don't pull stuff completely out of their rears.

JOHN Kerry's campaign has warned Australians that the Howard Government's support for the US in Iraq has made them a bigger target for international terrorists.
Diana Kerry, younger sister of the Democrat presidential candidate, told The Weekend Australian that the Bali bombing and the recent attack on the Australian embassy in Jakarta clearly showed the danger to Australians had increased.
"Australia has kept faith with the US and we are endangering the Australians now by this wanton disregard for international law and multilateral channels," she said, referring to the invasion of Iraq.

I think they've done much more than that. Somebody already posted this before, but failed to provide a link and so did you. So unless you can back it up with a credible link - stop lying.
"Token participation?!?" I'm quite embarrassed that the left has decided to belittle the support offerred by other countries in this war. I apologize to any Australians reading this on behalf of those of us in America who truly value your country's efforts in this war. Regardless of whether you are for or against the war, to make light of the sacrifices of Australian troops and their families is shameless.
