US warns against 'fortress Australia'
By John Kerin
22jun04
"THE US and Australia could lose the war on terror if they adopted a fortress mentality and failed to go after the terrorists in their global strongholds, US ambassador to Australia Tom Schieffer warned yesterday.

Mr Schieffer's backing for the use of expeditionary forces to fight terrorism comes as a bipartisan parliamentary committee released a report recommending Australia modernise the defence doctrine, which has served it for the past 20 years to include tackling terrorism and weapons of mass destruction around the globe.

In a speech that could inflame a row between the Bush administration and Labor over the future of the alliance, Mr Schieffer said that terrorism was the "bane of our time" and warned that "countries could not limit their efforts to the region or their neighbourhoods". "
