Lorne Gunter at his best!

Note: as you can't spell "Liberal" without spelling L-I-A-R, this is likely far from Martin's final position on the topic.

Further Note: as the National Post operates a pay-to-view website, the url cited only confirms the article's source:

I gotta say, we can talk all we want about how we won't use their airspace to intercept an incoming missile - but when the rubber meets the road, we're going to shoot down the missile the best way we see fit and issue our apologies later.

I don't doubt that. Martin's an idiot if he thinks otherwise.

This section is priceless BUMP!!


Heck, if this isn't just some narrow-minded, petulant, political temper tantrum, shouldn't Mr. Martin be telling the whole world: "Look everybody, if anyone, anyone at all, violates Canadian airspace, we're gonna ... we're gonna ...

"Oh, hang it. There's nothing we can do. But be sure of this: We're gonna be really, really huffy. Got it?

"We'll hector you into a pounding headache. Maybe we'll even dispatch an Arctic Ranger on a snowmobile, rifle slung over his shoulder, to stare up at the sky, shake his fist and curse your family's name as your missile overflies Canada."

Maybe we need to push for a new government in Canada, a democratic one.

I totally agree. I stopped caring what the Canadians think and what happens to them, the day they started bashing our President.

I can carry a grudge a long, long time. Fortunately President Bush is a better person than I am!

If someone were to begin building a wall to keep the Canadian whiners out, I would be up there stacking bricks.

Fortunately for them, no matter how ugly they treat American, we will always defend them. Too bad that more of them don't appreciate that.

Oh well. Perhaps the Canadian health care system is punishment enough for them.

I'm sure we'd settle for an intelligent one.

Canada couldn't defend a dog from a flea. Now they've made certain that they've missed another chance to be relevant.

Must he hell to be worthless as *i*s on a bull or a Canadian.

"Last week in this space, I argued that the U.S. preoccupation with BMD is misplaced. While I am confident the Americans will eventually develop the technology to shoot down incoming missiles in flight, I'd bet the biggest nuclear threats to the United States aren't missile-based.

hmm.....this guy has to be a liberal...albeit a semi- rational one. We don't place "bets" on WMD threats.

Damn right, and so you should. Any American missle or aircraft that wants to 'invade my space' in order to stop an incoming nuke is fine by me. I mean really, I don't see what the big deal is hear for the Liberals and other like-minded Canadians, "Oh no, I feel so violated by an American missile".....give me a break. I especially like the new buzz phrase they've started using "Weaponization of space" LOL.....give me a friggin' break.

I'll second that emotion. I haven't voted Liberal in years.

Wouldn’t it be fun to have President Bush ask for a written declaration saying that Canada forbids the United States stopping any incoming missiles targeting Canada?
