Harper wanted Canadians troops in Iraq

I think we should get more people into the military. Encourage them to do so.

The lies that led to war

WELCOME TO the "Italian Job."

In his 2003 State of the Union address, U.S. President George Bush cited British intelligence claims that Iraq had secretly imported uranium ore from Niger to make nuclear weapons.

Bush's claims were based on crude forgeries, previously rejected by the CIA.

 

Now, new information from European intelligence sources is detailing how the forgeries made their way from the Niger embassy in Rome to the White House. An FBI investigation of this outrageous scandal is said to be at a critical phase.

In a classic example of what intelligence professionals term "disinformation," a shady Italian intermediary, "Giacomo," was told a lady at the Niger embassy had "a gift" for him.

"Giacomo" has told The London Sunday Times he was given a sheaf of documents purporting to show Iraq had sought yellowcake uranium ore from Niger, a mineral used for nuclear fuel and weapons. "Giacomo" then reportedly passed them on to American agents. He says the Niger documents were given to him through SISMI, Italy's foreign intelligence service.

This headache for Stephen Harper shows no signs of abating. He must rue the day he sent that letter to the Wall Street Journal which just adds to the documentation on file reflecting Harper's complicity. How very sad for Canada that this "SUPPORT CANADIAN TROOPS INVADING IRAQ"was/is the position of the Leader of our Opposition in Ottawa! :angry:
