Come on! If Saddam actually got rid of WMDs all under the UN program, then why would he continue to play game after game with the UN during most of the 90s as they tried to inspect plant after 'palace' after factory. That is until he kicked them out outright. If he had nothing to hide he wouldn't have been hiding anything from the UN inspectors. 14 UN resolutions were ignored! Hardly a man with nothing to hide.
It also was widely reported at the time that during Desert Storm Iraq flew many of their best fighter jets to Iran rather than get them shot down by the superior American pilots. The possibility does exist that they sent a stockpile of WMDs elsewhere rather than have them discovered, whether Bush Bashers can see it or not.

Whatever eureka added to the discussions he took away with his bitterness against all things conservative and arrogence to those who drew his ire. A smart person though.

It looks like a lot of bitter Liberals and NDPers are trying to work out their grief after last night's Tory win. Go ahead, take pot shots at Harper, Christians and any other group you like to nurse a grudge against. Once you get over yourselves, you'll be much more pleasant to have discussions with and treat people as you would like to be treated.

How strange, Bubber, that you claim to have no religious ties and at the same time express comments showing that you feel superior to religious people, who 'join' religions so as to feel superior to others. You have some issues! Or maybe you're just bitter about the Tory win tonight. Nah, you have some issues.

No, he doesn't scare me.

Now for the real real real REAL truth: blah blah FRANCE WAS RIGHT blah blah blah DUBYA LIED blah blah BLACK HATER blah blah CONSPIRACY blah blah blah ALMOST LIKE THE NAZIS blah blah.
The only reason Dubya isn't in prison yet is only because there's no actual proof. Or evidence.

I was just watching the CTV noon news program and they had interviews with Harper and then Layton. At the outset, the one host said they invited Martin, but he declined. And now I know why, The CBC news channel gave him at least 20 minutes of uninterrupted live coverage of a stump speech in Richmond, B.C. Unbelievable!! The CBC is really pulling out all the stops to help the Liberals, their hatred of the Tories will translate into biased coverage after the election and if the Tories do anything to the CBC budget they'll scream about it. They have real power and they intend to use it.
-
Aside from the hidden crimes the Liberals have done that might get exposed with a Tory win, we are also witnessing a corrupt party about to go down hard and they know it. Power corrupts, and Martin right now is at his worst.
-
Uh, Chris, I think it's time to adjust your meds. Next time the 'urge' hits you, pop an extra yellow one and repeat, "There's no place like home", 3 times and feed Toto to get your mind off your troubles for a while. Good luck.
-
Abolishing death, has a nice ring to it. But don't tell Martin, he might actually try it as a related strategy to his gun bans.
Of course, Harper won't abolish death or taxes, and the sun will come up the day after the election just like every Liberal victory. Canada will go in a different direction for a few years, and if Canadians don't like it they will vote him out next time.

For every Calgary Sun, there were several left of center papers trying to scare people with the Tories at the start of this election campaign, and most TV based media doing the same. I have been surprised to find that the balance has shifted to a more center point of view. That, and the weight of all the latest Liberal scandals have made it tough for the Liberals in the various media. There are still, of course, media people on both sides trying to get their favourite party elected.
-
But don't be surprised. Now that the CPC is way ahead in the polls, Liberals, NPDers and any other foes are getting scared and pumping up the scaremongering. Take a look at the new liberal ads, nothing but smearing and lies, they've even had to pull one already it was so bad.
Look at the title of this thread, it's pathetic. It'll probably get worse before the election. What conservatives need is another RCMP investigation revelation about a week before voting day to finish them off. The facts are much more effective than the scaremongers.
-
Wow, err, you must be a christian. With all the hate filled rants you make, I never would have guessed. Oh wait, putting your own words in Jesus's mouth and politicizing him shows you're just another angry lefty. Care to bet on which side of the gay marriage issue Tommy D. would have come down on being that he was a baptist minister?
Anyway, I just saw the CBC newscast for 8 am and they led off with Martin's new claims(although it's a rerun of last election) that the CPC's promises would drive us into deficit. Then the anchor begins a discussion with a reporter who says the exact same thing. Then she shows a video clip where Martin says the exact same thing(That's it, keep pounding it into the voters heads enough in an attempt to scare them). After spending 4 or 5 minutes on this with no showing of Harper's response to this, they show a clip of under 10 seconds of a CPC underling who stated that since the Liberals claimed the exact same thing last election, and also underestimated the surplus at that time by several billion, they have shown themselves to be untrustworthy with the numbers this time.
They only gave the CPC several seconds, but that was all it took to unravel this latest Liberal strategy.

So reversing Goodale's tax reduction is going to hurt people since they haven't even claimed it in one tax cycle yet? What is it, $500 plus 1% for about 8 or 900 total? Let's see, that's about $17 a week or beer and popcorn range. But since the CPC might be doing it, Liberal supporters find it to be HUGE!

I'm repeatedly disgusted by the extent the Bush administration goes to in undermining individual freedoms and rights all in the name of national security. I never supported the Patriot Act but these actions go even further. It seems that the US has become a place where "National Security" gives anyone free pass to violate constitutionally protected rights. The worst part is I think that Bush actually believes he is on the side of right. He is one dangerous man, probably more dangerous to the American People than any terrorist.
These are the most laughable comments I have read in some time. The worst part is I think this guy actually believes he's right.
-
Oh boy, I just responded to a similar comment in another thread, so I can just copy-paste part of that post.
Efficiency, gotta love it
......it seems that Canadians in general hate the U.S. and only want to take their money.You CAN love a country, and still not like that same country's government.
Much the way you feel about Canada, it seems.
The U.S. doesn't need 'friends' like that.You mean friends like this......(PMPM following Hurricane Katrina)
"On behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, I offer our sincere condolences to the American people. During this most difficult time, Canada stands with you, and we are ready to provide whatever support you may require in the days, weeks and months ahead."In fact, the USA was so upset by this unfriendly comment, and the actions which followed, that their ambassador Wilkins responded in a most outraged fashion, saying.....
"Four years after the devastating terror attacks of September 11, 2001, my country finds itself once again hurting deeply. And today - just as it did four years ago - Canada has come to our aid early and eagerly."Someone that comes to your aid, when you're in need, "eagerly and early".
Sounds like the best kind of friend to me.
Hey pocket, your selective memory is quite impressive. I"ll waste one post on this. Words mean much less than action. Martin said the right things at the time of Katrina and then sends stuff on a bleedin' ship! It took way too long to get there. He could have had it trucked/flown down much faster. And by the time they got there, the aid workers weren't needed according to some reports. But a ship 'sounds' impressive. It's all about image with Martin.
As far as Martin and the U.S. Ambassador making friendly, you find one incident and extrapolate it into the state of our relationship. Almost as if the last several times Martin has taken swipes at the U.S. didn't happen. Never mind the crapola comments that went on under Chretien. Like I said, your selective memory is something else.
-
Monty, you missed one I think. Bubba was also disbarred for lying under oath. He can no longer practice law, which is why he goes around taking money from whomever for his little chats. If lawyers(of which there are so many crooks) could actually agree that Bubba was lyin' then he must have been a lyin' sack of ...sugar(Simpson reference, ring any bells?)
-
Canadians' apparent unwillingness to toss the Liberals out for the scandals, corruption and outright lies shows we have little in the way of ethical standards left. We are a people who live by fear. Fear of change. Fear of the Americans. Fear of Harper. Fear of Health care problems. Fear that SSM might be revisited with a free vote. Fear that any part of our lives might not be covered by a gov. program. And so we might just get the government that can manipulate our fears best. How sad.
-
I hope that you don't think, deep down inside, sneaking across the border to blow some stuff up to prove whatever your point is would be justified. Canada doesn't need terrorists. Btw, are your guns registered?
-
So Dubya, who is supposedly pretty dumb, singlehandedly masteminded and successfully carried out a plan to divide the country into 2 camps?
The U.S. does have moderates, they just get little time in the MSM. The MSM is too busy showing lefty opinion and responses as the One True Way, and righties as sad misinformed extremists. There is only the impression of 2 camps.
-
Let's be real here. The Tories have to allow a free vote on SSM, so that they don't lose a chunk of their MP's over it.
Yes, lets. A chunk of liberal mps would actually vote against ssm, and the liberals didn't lose any over it. Neither would the Tories.
Norm, come on, surely you can do better than drag up old comments you've used many times before! I will choose an old response: about 67% of Canadians would rather have someone else than Martin as PM. Interesting how you change your position on polls when they don't have a favorable result for you.
The Tories would allow a free vote, the Liberals not, and who's the more tolerant? You need to take off your Liberal coloured glasses. At any rate, I'm getting bored with this again. Usually I avoid you Norm because you develop this one note trill about Harper and the Liberals and darned if you didn't start it up again. When you want to actually debate something without bringing up the usual crapola, I'll be around.
-
That is tantamount to saying, "If you won't protect the Liberal Party, you have no business trying to be PM."
Is Martin aware of how arrogant he sounds to many non-Liberal Canadians?
Similar to his declaration that Harper is unfit to be PM, Martin chose himself to make this federal election a "referendum" in Quebec. Well, what will he say on 24 January if the BQ gets 53% of the vote in Quebec?
Martin and the Liberals may well win this election with their 38% of the vote but they are doing it in a way that, as they say, the operation was a success but the patient died.
Yes, Martin has no patent on what a PM is, that is up to us Canadians, something he ignores at his peril.
-
It does not violate the charter. The charter does not specifically address this issue and existed for many years without gay marriage. Are you saying Canada was in violation all those years? We've had gay marriage for less than a year. The conservatives are the only party that allow mps of both views to have their say on the matter, which is in step with a majority of Canadians.
-
Ah, so now you can read Martin's mind. He imposed his views on the matter on us, not allowing his own party to vote their conscience. And 55% of Canadians think a free vote is the proper way to go.
THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM

Ah, but what about innocent until proven guilty. Let's say the wife reports the abuse and a court date is set. Only in some cases will the husband be ordered to stay away from his wife until the case is heard. Even if he is, and certainly if he's not, how many men who beat their wives are then capable of threatening them or slapping them around a bit to make sure they get their 'story' straight. Even an idiot will put up with some abuse rather than report it and risk a hospital visit. Then again, Muslim woman believe man is the master and they are not equal anyway. (By the way, you must hate your president to presume his guilt like that)
I think Styen has a point about multiculturism. France's experience with Muslim immigration shows the type of problems that can develop.
