Harper Attempts To Hide From His Iraq Record

After today’s Conservative announcement on military support party leader Stephen Harper said to reporters that he would not NOW send Canadian troops to Iraq.

Duh. Did anyone expect him to say anything different, NOW? Of course not.

The real story is that Harper was ready to jump in bed with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice and the even worse neoconservative ideologues behind the lead faces – Wolfwitz, Feith and others – they were going to go into Iraq no matter what the evidence was, and so they did, against the evidence, against the will of the world.

Harper may claim he was hoodwinked (he has not as yet) into supporting the war in Iraq but the fact remains: Canada would be at war with Iraq right now if Stephen Harper was prime minister at the time.

Canada deserves better than this.
