O'Connor Stiffs Zinni

Anthony Zinni was the U.S. General who told Bush and Rumsfeld that a proper occupation of Iraq would take 300,000 U.S. Troops, not the current 130,000 and change. Rumsfeld sacked him for his honesty, but the Royal Military College of Canada was going to give him an honorary degree until Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor stepped in and, as reported here, had the whole idea quashed, because he " is more than committed to maintaining strong and positive relations with the United States -- our largest trading partner and closest friend."

These Harper Tories are Blo Boys for the Bush administration, no more than that.

    excellent move Gordo . . . shows our Allies we are with them, rather than having our heads up our arses like the previous administration.

    enjoy the wilderness liberals . . with this kind of "thinking" its going to be a long time before you get a chance to steal from taxpayers again.

    Why don't just merge with the NDP and be two-headed sock puppet for the puplic sector unions . . . tick tock, tick tock, we'll neuter them eventually. Just a matter of time

    I'm tellin' ya, Tories=Liberals. Ralph Klein has been running Alberta like a dictator and sold it off to his buddies. No different from the Liberals, except that at least the Liberals have some kind of social agenda that extends beyond wanting to lock criminals away forever(while not facing the fact that this costs money).

    Afghanistan/Iraq etc is wrong regardless of how many people are on your team.
