BHS Please stop. If you disagree with those stats which happen to be correct by the way, offer up your own figures with URLs to back them up. Otherwise just go away. You are just being argumentative with no substance to the points you are trying to make.

Now that we have proven that Bush's policies have drastically failed, what can we do collectively to create a solution when the UN's policies will succeed. I think the biggest impediment to world peace, reducing terrorism, etc. is the lack of support the US gives to the United Nations. I wish there was some way to make Americans realize that it is in their best interest to work as a global community. I know there is no hope for such a possibility with the present White House crowd, but perhaps if we haven't done too much damge by 2008, we might be able to start turning things around.

Eleven-point Liberal poll lead has observers pointing fingers at Harper One poll is understandable however I do detect a bit of a trend here. Conservatives it's time to lose him if you get my drift.

We can always find reasons not to do something, like not sharing our wealth. Well we Canadians are not the only ones who don't feel safer since the US invaded Iraq on the pretext of fighting terrorism, but al least we haven't spent 200 billion dollars, nor lost 1,700 troops in Iraq. Iraq War Hasn't Made United States Safer, Author Says

Already 55% of Canadians support SSM . The debate is over on that one and the Layton New Democrats are on the correct side of that issue. Considering that there were only 19 NDP MPs it is quite amazing that they were able to pull the New Democrat's "better balanced budget" off. I think Chuck Cadman voted for the NDP amended budget as well.

Why are we not all democrats? A democrat is someone who believes in democracy, one person one vote, not one province one vote. What is democratic about that? Every heard of the quotation "representation by population"? The reason one province has any more votes than another here is because more people that post here are English or more are from the West, etc. As a Canadian I don't particularly like this question anyways, so I have not responded because there was no option for none of the above.

I know some of you feel that regardless of the US invasion of Iraq those London bombings would have occured. Well I am here to tell you that you are completely wrong, and that the UK's siding up to the insane polices of GW are precisely why London got hit. It is just common sense to me, but don't take my word for it. Take the word of experts: Report ties London bombs to Iraq war

I think we can let the grand jury decide who's going to jail. Guess who? Guess who else? It was fascinating to see Bush backtracking and sidstepping today at the White House. The fella is a compulsive liar.

Excuse me? I thought we were discussing the topic of this thread, being Rove's supposed criminality in leaking info to reporters. And to clarify a point, the US didn't declare war in the 2003 invasion. Or the 1991 invasion. Or Kosovo, or Panama, or Vietnam. They don't "declare war" anymore. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think if you told Americans that they are not presently at war most would disagree with you, and especially the families of the 1,700 US soldiers that have died fighting in the war in Iraq. There is a direct connection between Rove & Libby leaking information to attempt to discredit Wilson. Bush used the smear and lied to the American people to convince them they should support his wish to go to war. Or have you forgotten about the WMD that Saddam had? NOT!

Well I have read recently that the US is going to begin pulling troops out of Iraq next year. No doubt in time for the Congressional elections in November. Will this help? Who knows for sure? Obviously this whole thing is about the rich against the poor. Until we learn to share and take care of those less privileged, we are probably going to have terrorism forever. We need to make it our goal to rid to rid the world of poverty but how to convince affluent people, that to do so, is in their best interests. Look at Canada, we can't even bring ourselves to spend 0.7% of our GDP on foreign aid. People need to be able to live with some realistic hope that their lives are going to get better. If we can't offer that we are doomed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's going to be so great when the Dems get back into the White House, so that I can take your place at blowing all of the fiddling, meaningless little deceptions that happen under every administration way out of proportion. I'm really going to enjoy stuffing all of this right back in your faces. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Declaring war under false pretenses is a meaningless, little deception. I think you are seriously missing the point here. Second Bush official named in ‘leak' probe

Good point. These people that presently rule the White House just lie and deceive about almost everything it seems: Cheney's office linked to Rove affair

The noose is tightening. Now even the third rankling House Republican is growing concerned: Top Cheney Aide Among Sources in C.I.A. Story Bush would be much better off to clean house but he won't. And because of that he is going to pay an enormous price before this is all over. It is obvious that the momentum has shifted drastically against the Republicans and Bush's popularity is now in the toilet. Apart from the above, since the US invaded Iraq the world is much more dangerous place, with terrorism substantially on the rise.

If PM Martin deceived the NDP and by extension the Canadian people he will pay the price at the ballot box next election. Don't forget the Liberals already have enough problems dealing with ethics and honesty.

I think what the Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald will be focusing on with his grand jury indictments will be the lies being told by Rove, Libby, & perhaps even Bush. Wilson has inpeccible credentials and did his job reporting that Iraq was not involved in purchasing that Uranium from Niger. The Bush Administration from Bush on down have tried to discredit him to promote their illegal war in Iraq. Now all their lies and deceit are all coming back to bite them in the ass. It couldn't happen to nicer group of thugs.

That story in the Washington Post is over 1 year old. Try this more recent one, actually today's edition. Why are we NOT surprised that Dick Cheney is involved in this up to his eyeballs? As I have already said Rove is done like dinner but now there are bigger fish to fry. The only recollection I have of something unravelling like this is Watergate. Reporter: Top Cheney Aide Among Sources or this story: Reporter: Rove was first source on CIA leak

July 14, 2005 Is this the real reason why you think Harper should be replaced? First of all is his hat really on backwards? I think politicians should do the things they are good at when they are in the glare of the public. Harper has a lot of strengths but this surely is not one of them. Will this pic be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back? They say a pic is worth a 1000 words!

The Liberals already have enogh problems in this area and need to be very careful when it comes to issues of ethics and integrity. If PM Martin goes back on his word he will pay the price at the ballot box next February.

The US defied the UN by going into Iraq. Now with Saddam's trial the Bush and Blair administrations are going to pay a heavy prive for this illegal war, which was manoevered by smoking the American public.

Go West, young man. I wonder what the population is going to be in Alberta 10 years from now. A New Player in the Canadian Sandbox I actually think the Chinese interest in Canada's oil is one of the best things that has happened. It should be a greater and greater lever with the US when we have these trade wars with them such as softwood lumber and cattle. I wonder what's going on with the Devil's Lake project now.

I think if I was repeatedly lied to by people upon whom I was dependent on for information to do my job, and I had an opportunity in the course of my work for revenge against them I would probably take advantage of the opportnity. The Washington Press Corps has been repeatedly lied to by Bush & Co. I think, given the opportunity, which they now have, they will burn Bush. IMHO. Rove should have been fired long ago for masterminding deceptions on Iraq

I actually think that the US war on terror has actually increased terror in the world. Don't you? Linda McQuaig says the war on terror has done absolutely nothing to get to the root of the problem The present occupants of the White House are quite the crowd, aren't they!

Actually I should have said those London murderers, not so-called suicide bombers, and yes, they are the ones you saw on that CCTV tape. There is no confirmation from the police that they were suicide bombers. Seriously. Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, but it is possible they did not realize they were going to die themselves and that someone else set off the bombs by remote control or mislead them as to the timer or timing of the explosions. There is confirmation now however of a direct link to al Quaeda.

Say what? And your reasons are?

Maybe we should all move to Italy. I just said I had heard that the tape was discredited, it had nothing to do with whether or not it was in the National Post. Look the dirty tricks that I have seen come out the current White House crowd makes Richard Nixon appear like a saint. It would not surprise me for one second that they would fabricate something like that. Having said that I am not saying Bush & Co. did it, and I am not saying that we do not have to be vigilant in Canada. I do not think however that Canada is at the top of the list for terrorist attacks. Maybe for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, we will be, who knows. I am quite sure whatever is really going on we are not going to reading about it in our newspapers. Here is a tragic but fascinating read about the London attack. It seems that the so-called suicide bombers might not even have known they were going to die themselves. And I do believe we do owe a big vote of gratitude to those security forces personnel that are hunting these murderers down, knowing sometimes they are dealing with killers and impossible timelines. One thing about that person they have arrested in Egypt. If he is so innocent why he not just return to the UK of his own volition, instead of forcing the UK to go through the extradiction process? And now I have even heard that Egypt is refusing to extradict him. Britain's enemy within
