So, let me get this Bush-Canada thing straight...
At the beginning of the Iraq war, Canada said 'No Way No How' to joining up. The response was 'Fine, we don't need you anyhow, go soak your head', more or less...
Then, when Canadian contracters wanted to put in bids for the rebuilding of Iraq, G-Dub said "Nope, nosiree, only coalition of the WILLING countries can do that, I gots to look out for their interests"

Now, Iraq's a little out of control... the meeting between Canadian PM Martin and G-Dub ended(?) with the Prez. asking for... gee willy, Canada's help, or "As much as Canada feels comfortable doing" (which we already told him was, absolutly nothing without UN support) In fact, Dubya was SO keen on having Canada join up, thinking it might sway some UN reps, he actually tried to BRIBE us by offering to open the boarder to our beef again!

Why thanks Georgie! Of course, even with Martin being so vauge about his 'feelings' for you (he's no Blair thats for sure), even if he loved you to bits and wished he could go on an episode of Trading Spaces with ya, it's getting near election time. And 82% of Canadian's think you stink. And I don't need a poll to tell me what Canadians think of you trying to buy our co-operation in this, erm, endevor. That would be the stupidest political move in Canadian history.

So, I guess I'm just a little confused... I thought you didn't WANT our help, or NEED our help. I thought the boarder closing was UNAVOIDABLE and there was NOTHING to be done without due proceedure. I thought everything was hunky dorey a-ok in Iraq.

Can someone set me straight?

1. Bush lies. Everybody dies.
Keep your Canadian soldiers home. There is nothing but death in Iraq.

And you could remind him that Canada doesn't welcome convicted felons.

3. We plan on it
Martin had better plan on it, or you can be sure the Liberal party won't get half a vote in the upcoming election.

I'd like to remind him of a lot of things... Mostly all the nasty stuff he's said, and now is conveniently forgetting because HE'S in the shitter.

Leetle bit of an 'I told ya so'

4. True
But if you're arrogant enough to exclude the Western Civilized World in "Your" decision because the Polls are high and the facts haven't come out yet in our pitiful excuse of a paid-for Media....

I guess that's why I decided to buy a top-end SW Receiver; "Imbedded" Reporters never know one percent of what's going on and can't describe it like the "Hams" that are living there reporting it in "Real Time."

5. Did you notice Bush started to giggle when Martin broke into French?
Bush was trying to keep a straight face...

to be fair - Martin went from English to French so fast it was sort of startling...

6. I didn't notice
He was probably thinking of 'Freedom Fries'. That'd crack anyone up.

But, us bi-tri-etc-linguals up here tend to do that. I'm guilty as charged... I switch between french and english when talking to people who speak both... Maybe Martin was trying to see if he could confuse him into calling him Prime Minister Poutine during the interview...?

*ramble, tired*

8. THAT I just don't get
At all...
In any way...
Paul Martin said Bush was a man of "Strong moral convictions" or some such, but refused to say if he agreed with them or not... ($10 says he doesn't)
I wonder how the 'brown skinned ones' feel about those convictions.

What is this obsession with skin colour?

9. All I can say is
"Nous sommes desoles que notre President soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pas vote pour lui." *as seen on clothing tags across the globe.

Really, it's like we have this little dog that humps everything he sees and when someone comes over to the house, there he is humping their leg. It just gets so tiring of apologizing over and over for that asshole. Makes you want to punt him across the room.**

**not to advocate kicking small dogs. I have one and I'd NEVER kick him across the room. He has lots of small, pointy teeth!
