OTTAWA -
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said Monday that Canada will not go to war against Iraq.
He said the government would only support military action if there were a United Nations Security Council resolution, and the Council backers of an attack decided Monday to withdraw their resolution.
Without a resolution, "Canada will not participate," Chrétien said to cheers in Parliament.
The U.S. and Britain, which has been seeking suport for the resolution, withdrew it when it became clear that it did not have enough backing to pass.

I wonder if Canada were attacked if he'd still wait for UN approval?

Well, crap. I wanted us to beat Iraq. Without Canada as our starting center, we'll lose in a romp.

Well, if they don't come, then we won't have to fish their one and only cannon from the bottom of the Persian Gulf again?

I wonder if Canada were attacked if he'd still wait for UN approval? Or defend Canada at all? Chretien might call the attack a "legitimate response by the poor of the world" that hastens the stripping away of the unfair advantages and wealth of the Canadian middle classes.

Naah! If Canada was attacked in the tradition of his Frog DNA, he would surrender all of Canada to whomever attacked.

"Maybe we should tell them it's a hockey game." Yeah, that's the ticket. Tell Canada that Saddam thinks his crack squad of hockey players can be any old Canadian team.

Canada - it works this way.
If you did not receive an invitation, you cannot go to the big dance.
