Post contains 202 words, total size 2 kb.1 I see how this shows why the Chretien government was opposed to the War. Good Point.Posted by: JAson at April 24, 2005 03:47 AM (doHxV)
2 Jason makes a good point. Just because Chretien has been otherwise corrupt and Martin has taken bribes from Saddam, should he be jumping to conclusions and discussing whether the Liberal Party made decisions based on bribes? Isn't this type of curiosity unCanadian? After all, should Canadians lower themselves to the point where they question the honesty and sincerity of their representatives. I think NOT.Posted by: mikem at April 24, 2005 11:06 PM (EzNXf)
