Hey Megalomanic, you're no Jesus, you're no fucking Elvis
Step aside, sponsership scandal, there's a new ruination a-brewing. Although with this one, Prime Minister Paul Martin can breathe a sigh of relief because, for once, it's not his head on the guillotine.
Not that it's making much of a difference, but the recent UK Iraq memo has let loose a landslide of damning information regarding President Bush's longstanding plans to invade Iraq. It seems that he had made the decision in the summer of 2002 and "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around" to support said decision.
You'd think that such volatility would be enough to make at least a few heads roll. However, it seems that the 'impartial' (even in quotations, I use the term loosely) media conglomerates in the US are making damn sure that nary a scrap of detail pertaining to the memo hits the news, or if it does, that it's significantly downplayed. It's a sad day when explosive information regarding an American President's plans to betray his own people makes a bigger splash in Canadian news than on his native soil.
It just kills me that in Canada, if the PM so much as expenses a Starbucks coffee, we're all over it like a fat kid on a Smartie. And yet, when our neighbours to the South come to find out that they were lied to in order to facillitate a war based on economic gain,leading to the death of some 1,600 of their fellow Americans, barely a ripple is made in the river of George Bush's supporters.
This world is a crazy tea party and I feel like the mad hatter every time.
Read this on an empty stomach.

did i tell you? for the past few years, i pretend i'm a canadian when asked where i'm from. but alas, i always get caught, as i have no clue to where ontario, edmonton, etc. are!
i'm so ashame we have the texan for president. his cowboy style just doesn't sit well with the UN and other places.
no doubt, the CIA and FBI are all over your blog now, to see what else you've been dishing up on our dear lad.
oh, i saw a bumper sticker a few months ago: "somewhere in texas, a village is missing its idiot."
I'm sorry, but the manufactured outrage is a bit much.
Yes, President Bush was looking to resolve the Iraq situation militarily prior to 9-11.
So was President Clinton when he was in office.
Saddam Hussein was a cancer in the region. He's been removed, and the metastases are being cleaned up (if not as quickly as I would like).
aelfheld: you're more than entitled to your take things. as i posted in your blog recently, although i appreciate your writing style and surprisingly informative and intellectual right-wing approach to the political spectrum, i don't see eye to eye with you on it. so let's just agree to disagree and be happy blogging neighbours.
