Canadian to the core, must suck. Too bad for you.
MacArthur got money in 1942 so Bush cut a deal with OBL, something you call a "very realistic possibility". I ask again, where do people like you come from? I ask now, what the heck are you doing here?
If I (an American, mind you) had suggested to you in 1945 that Douglas MacArthur had been paid $500,000 by the government of the Philippines in 1942, you probably would have called me a Canadian, a French surrender-monkey, Michael Moore, Howard Dean, etc. -- right?
No, that kind of sh!t can't ever happen.
