There are questions about what can the two leaders do at this point? What would the agenda be?"

That's the appropriate question. Why should President Bush even bother with this guy? Barring any major change in attitude by the Canadian government, I cannot conceive of any reason over the next six years that he should go there.

I am so sick of these limp wristed, weak, jealous, non-showering frogs. I used to think the US should take Canada over. Now I wouldnt want it if the frogs come with it. Cest le Vie.

Here's what I sent the whimp from the north via USPS last Saturday. Sent if via mail with 3 U.S. Flag stamps on it. Bastards!

Office of the Prime Minister
Attn: Jean Chrétien, the Prime Minister
80 Wellington Street
Ottawa, Canada
K1A 0A2

Dear Mr. Chrétien,

Just a quick note to ensure you understand millions of Americans will never forget you and your country’s cowardice.

We have always considered you an ally and a friend. That perception has recently shifted for all times. And trust me, it is permanent.

I and millions of other Americans are now encouraging our elected officials, President Bush’s administration and business leaders to change their thinking about Canada. You will see in the future a new punitive approach towards our relationship with your country.

Don’t expect a public announcement regarding this shift. But it will happen.

With friends like Canada who needs enemies. We are quickly discovering who our real friends are. It is not you or your country. I imagine a few years down the road there will be hell to pay for your position in the history books and your political parties future.

We’re tired of your slander and your weak knees.

Yours truly,

"At least one Liberal MP said yesterday that Mr. Cellucci should be expelled over the comments."

Good ... expel him. There will be palm trees growing in Ottawa before Canada sees another ambassador. Close the embassies as well ... assign a GS-5 clerk to represent the United States in Canada out of a small room in some friendly country's embassy (Australia or Poland or the like). Require all visiting Canadians to go to that clerk, in person, to fill out the visa paperwork .. which will have to be sent back to the States for approval .. to come across the border.

It should be quite fun...

" Mr. Shepherd said. "I think back at some of the history of our country. We went and fought in the First World War, the Second World War without the Americans, and Mr. Cellucci could use a little wake-up call to history."

What history, of what planet, is this guy reading from?

I thought only Mexican text books lied about their closest neighbor.

When did such an incorrect and bizarre use of the word "optics" start becoming fashionable?

"The people of the United States know very well that on Sept. 11, in the first hour of their great difficulties, the Canadian people received in their homes 40,000 Americans who had no place to land," Mr. Chrétien said

And Cretin know that if the situation were reversed, the US would have opened it's homes to Canadians.

I agree, there's not much to be said to Cretin at this point. Our President has more important things to do and more important people to see.

Like their idols the french, canaduh is irrelevent and not worthy of GWB's time. I hope he sends a junior staff member in his place to personally deliver a raspberry.

Once this mess in Iraq is cleared up we should consider sending the Marines to Ottawa

Alex Shepherd confirmed to reporters that he had called on the Prime Minister to have Mr. Cellucci "censured and expelled." Mr. Shepherd said he made the demand because Mr. Cellucci "had gone over the diplomatic line" in his speech to an audience of business executives.

Oh? Mr. Cellucci crossed the line, did he Alex? You mean like this?

In particular, sources said White House officials remain furious over Jean Chrétien's refusal to rebuke Herb Dhaliwal, the Natural Resources Minister, for saying last week that Mr. Bush's decision to go to war proves he is "not a statesman."

I used to think the US should take Canada over.

I can't stand the frogs either, but comments like you made are the reason some people oppose us, they are afraid of our military might. I guess if you were in charge it would be a rational fear.

Pls don't assume you know my motives. I used to think we should take Canada over to save it from the Frogs, esp. those in Quebec, and especially since Dudley Doright couldn't do it all by himself. Liberation, not domination.

LOL,, great stuff.

esp. those in Quebec, and especially since Dudley Doright couldn't do it all by himself.

The great hope of freedom, the US, under the leadership of attydjv, will attack Canada and free them from their elected leaders. LOL

Liberation, not domination.

We'll free them from themselves and then leave, we won't be dominant.

This stuff is priceless, but it needs a laugh track. Maybe we can get Robinson to design one for the site just for cases like this.

Admittedly, the Canadians helped us out during the Iran hostage crisis by giving shelter to our diplomats. But that was a different regime.
