Wow, and I thought the Old European beaurocrates were dithering and too cowardly to say what they mean.

You Canadians better get organized to get rid of this Cretien or you risk making your nation permanently irrelevant when this socialists pops off one time too many publiclly and certain unpleasant facts are released just like they were the other day about Chirac and Hussein.

And another thing, there was a bold face lie by Cretein in this that needs to be spoken of;
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien noted that in November it was the French who were pushing for a two-resolution process before authorizing war while the U.S. wanted only one, while now it is France leading the resistance to a second Anglo-American resolution.

Now anyone with long term memory spanning more than a few months remembers this wasn't true. The US wanted 1 resolution meaning it would give us the power to go to war. We had to argue with the French, because we took them seriously, to get 1441 out with the ambigious language "material breach" was a cause to war. Because we capitulated to the French drive for vagueness, also called dithering room, it has been decided we should go back again for another.

Cretien knows this full well, he is purposely misleading anyone who is listening, that he is fulfilling the role of objective observer. He is actually dithering too much to side with dither-ers (?) Quite a statement for the people of Canada.

Actually, I read today that Canada's economy is one of the few that was performing well in the world. I don't get their game though, it's not like France's at all, and I suspect there isn't the same motivation there as France has.
