John Howard & George Bush - a horse with no head
I did say Johnny Howard and GW were best mates. But, as the Australian SAS were 500Km in front of the US forces during the Iraq invasion, Senator Obama's first response is not a good one.

Instead, I would build on what Senator Wyden said about meddling in domestic affairs. . .

John Howard and George W Bush have been supporting the Indonesian genocide of West Papua, by claiming it is a "domestic issue" and neither of them would ever interfer in another nation's domestic affairs - even if there is a Yale University report about the ongoing genocide -
http://www.law.yale.edu/documents/pdf/westpapuahrights.pdf
"Indonesian Human Rights Abuses in West Papua:
Application of the Law of Genocide to the History of Indonesian Control"

US comments about Howard meddling in US "domestic affairs" while ignoring a genocide in West Papua would be very effective.

"United States' strong support for Indonesia's national unity and territorial integrity, and opposition to secessionist movements in any part of Indonesia."
