re: #140 Obdicut

This is the guy who has Buck’s support.

You are sooooo off topic I can’t stand it. I can’t even connect the dots from what I am talking about to what you are trying to stick to me.

Just so you know you have pulled out a sentence that does NOT reflect what Stephen Harper said and did during the run up for the Iraq war. The first hint is the date of the quote. The war was basically over, and Canada had just committed to a large participation in Afghanistan. He was in a minority parliamentary position, and knew what he could and couldn’t do. So what you have him saying is that he is (after the fact, and with hindsight) disappointed with “the failure to substantiate pre-war intelligence information regarding Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction.” Well who isn’t?

What did Harper say during the run up to the war two years earlier?

Today, the world is at war. A coalition of countries under the leadership of the U.K. and the U.S. is leading a military intervention to disarm Saddam Hussein. Yet Prime Minister Jean Chretien has left Canada outside this multilateral coalition of nations.

This is a serious mistake. For the first time in history, the Canadian government has not stood beside its key British and American allies in their time of need.

I want you to read that last sentence again… say it out loud…
That is the guy I support.
