I guess it's all a matter of priorities.


Apparently, a few people are getting a mite impatient:

[Iraq's] draft constitution is due Aug. 15, but the committee writing it may ask for a delay of up to six months if it's not ready by then. A decision on whether an extension is needed will be made on Monday, committee chairman Humam Hamoudi said.

[U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld warned that a delay would be "very harmful" to the momentum that's necessary to get the work done.

Ah, yes ... this would be pressure to finish a brand spanking new national constitution within the next 13 days, coming from someone whose administration still, after two years, hasn't figured out who exposed a covert CIA operative.

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

Have you seen the story of the American soldier looking for a home in Canada? I hope the Canadian government will find a way to give him shelter:

Oh, you mean the government whose air traffic controllers allowed a passenger jet to land in the middle of dangerous storm?
Yeah, give him shelter. What you give him is what the ass deserves.

Btw, dumbasses, if you're gonna preach you should at least follow the latest from Novak.

Oh, question for the infinitely dumb: Who is Judith Miller protecting in jail? A member of the Bush Administration?

I think not.

While I'm at it, it must have been a relative of a Canadian that sentenced the millenium bomber to that pathetic jail term and proceded to lecture the administration on levels he has no authority.

Millenium bomber came from Canada.

Any more and you'll all have some real hard reasons to hate Americans.

You really should pull your heads out of your asses.

Just because Americans aren't Socialists doesn't make us anti-Canadian. However, being anti-American and hosting anti-American individuals will definitely make you a target of hate.

Maybe when a North Korean missile misses Seattle and lands on Vancouver you'll wake the hell up...

Interesting logic, let's see where we can go with that.

Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh grew up in New York, so I'm assuming you're all up for dropping a nuke or two on New York, yes?

And McVeigh was a decorated veteran of the U.S. Army based on his service during the first Gulf War. Fucking U.S. Army -- just a breeding ground for homicidal maniacs that should be leveled, is that what you're saying?

And after leaving the Army, McVeigh lived in Junction City, Kansas. Whoops. Buh bye, Junction City, do I understand you correctly?

Debating the wingnut demographic -- about as effortless as drowning kittens, but without the guilt.

To loosely quote a US blogger from a few weeks ago...

Why don't they just use the US Constitution? It's a pretty good document that was written by a bunch of intelligent men and the US isn't using it any more.

You must be a product of government education. Nowhere did I suggest bombing anybody. I'll give credit where credit is due, though. Maybe you are in a foreign country (Quebec) and are using an English/French translator to read the post...

What I was slyly suggesting was the lack of tolerance for other's views by liberals in the US and what appears to be most Canadians is a hypocrisy that will ultimately result in south-of-the-border hatred toward Canadians should your liberal policies (like UK) allow foreign fighters to enter the US and cause casualties. That's defined as 'aiding and abetting'.
Insofar as my comment about Vancouver being bombed, again my wit is too complicated for your comprehension: I was referring to what is reported as majority disapproval of Canadian participation in missile defense. While detractors will call on reports of failures of said technologies, the very effort to develop it will discourage the type of blackmail that would ultimately result of a desperate regime hellbent on developing missiles capable of such a threat if there were no defense at all.

Again, I'll give credit: You must be suffering from a lack of real information due to the Canadian government media monopoly having denied Canadians from viewing Fox News.

Oh, I didn't realize that drowning kittens was a sleeper of a national pastime. The behavioural abberation of killing small animals is a stone's throw from a serial killer...

The comment on the Constitution is again a demonstration of Canadian ignorance. With access to the web, one would think that the average Canadian would be able to see your press/media for the bias it is, just as we have seen our 'free' media (vs. your government-controlled media monopoly) for it's bias. It is Liberals in this country that seek to 'bend' that document, NOT the majority.

I truly have been dumbfounded, though. I cannot possibly calculate the handicap I would have to allow for me to continue participating in this weed-of-a-blog I accidentally came across the other night. So, in light of the fact that I have an aversion to recording my username/password for such a site, I bid you all 'adieu'...

One more thing: The original post makes jokes about a Constitutional process of a population hellbent on forming a government in the face of incredible violence aimed at continuing their suppression under some other 'regime'. The importance of meeting stated goals is to deny the enemy the benefit of claiming their actions caused said delay.
Such comments mockig the Constitutional process could only come from government-educated individuals calling from a country that never had to fight for independence from anyone or, for that matter, ever had to face any real threat short of participation in a UN battle...

You're welcome, by the way (sincerely)...
