U.S. Will Hand Over Saddam To Iraq Interim PM

Well apparently not, or not necessarily. GWB doesn't give a damn about international law or the Red Cross.

Sheesh, that was fast, that report was yesterday's news, today Bush says not so fast, I have other plans for him...Boy these guys sure are decisive.

If I stand for my country today...will my country be here to stand for me tomorrow?

Update!

I heard today that Bush said they will not hand over Saddam until Iraq is more stable. They likely don't want him being put back into power by the Iraqis so they can get rid of the Americans once and for all.

Oh, and Flat Cath, my See Pee MP said that Iraq was invaded because Saddam was killing 100s of his own people on a daily basis don't you know? Kevin says he gets an upset stomach thinking Harper will win and I get sick whenever I hear their scripted assumptions and propaganda.

Yep I got a similar b.s. reply when I wrote to my previous con/alliance mp who isn't running thankfully, ah he said he was a doctor and had seen first had the impact of war, but alas it was necessary...so I'm guessing he had a little trip over there somewhere one time and saw some blood shed, but he never saw it in his small town Alberta and that is why we don't get into wars at home, just over there! They truly make me sick...war has never answered any of our problems it just creates a nice bank account for the war machines...and of course major population control.

Have a look at the article by Kristof in the NYT today (subscription needed) about the genocide in Sudan. <br><br> First Rwanda, now Sudan. <br><br> Blair says 'he's doing all he can' (BBC News today) <br><br> Bush says he's studying whether it is genocide. <br><br> And btw they do have some oil but of course not as much as Iraq

P.S. Isn't it our very own good ol Cancuk company Talisman which is exploring for oil in the Sudan?

Just heard on CBC NEWS: <br><br> The US 9/11 Commission finally came out with their report saying what most of us here suspected all along: <br><br> <b>There was no link between AlQuaeda and Iraq</b> <br><br> No WMD (except in Harper's and Bush's mind) no link to Al Quaeda. <br><br> Which leaves as the only reason for the war (because the USA cozies up to so many bastards, e.g. the bastard in Kazakstan, who boils some vicitms alive, and does nothing about mass murder in Sudan as it did nothing in Rwanda) <b>US imperialism and Israel's interests.</b> Nice friends. <br><br> Actually I'm not anti-American (except in the mild Canadian way of disliking some cousin) but those neo-cons are a real danger to the world. <br><br> Let's not forget that many Americans, e.g. Princeton professor Paul Krugman or self-made billionaire George Soros in the <b>Bubble of American Supremacy</b> to name just two, say the same thing. <br><br> Of course Harper doesn't want to see that and Martin can't see it either.

For a lack of a better spot I'll put this here. Sorry if this is a terrible transgression. <br><br> :) <br><br> From CBS Marke*censored*ch: <br><br> <b>Fair use</b><br><br> "Web parody: Read Laura's lips<br><br> The United States Student Association and the Campaign for America's Future made a clever political statement Wednesday with the release of a Web ad, parodying First Lady Laura Bush. <br><br> The basis for the ad: House Republicans introduced a law that would raise student loans by an average of $5,500. This figure represents the additional interest payments resulting from the proposed switch to variable interest rates. <br><br> To protest this possibility, the lobbies digitally animated a photo of Laura Bush, making her lips move in sync with the following dialogue: "Education is very important to my husband. That's why he wants you to pay thousands more for your college loan. You see, if your education costs you more, you'll value it more. We're compassionate like that. <br><br> "Big banks helped our campaign so much, and they're expecting a big return. That's where you all come in," the ad continues. "Everyone knows the kids in my family don't even have student loans like you do. And besides, it's not like you're going to send us the bill." <br><br> But that's exactly what the activists wants people to do. The Web commercial asks college graduates to mail their student loan bills to President Bush to demonstrate opposition to the bill. " <br><br> :)

Great reaction, I love it.
