But then he has to cover Obama's ass, so at least he has an excuse. Which is more than I can say for Harper. He has mishandled the energy/environment dossier so badly for that alone he deserves to be fired...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-55315490365110753382013-09-09T17:01:36.533-04:002013-09-09T17:01:36.533-04:00If Kerry had an hopes of ever making another run f...If Kerry had an hopes of ever making another run for the white house, he lost it his chance when he started the war talk regarding syria. It as entertaining as hell to not have heard a word from Hillary Clinton. <br /><br />Stevie is desperate. For years he didn't think the climate was all that important. Didn't like anything to do with reducing pollution and now, hey lets get with that agenda. Obama is not going to get the o.k. to bomb Syria and then he won't go ahead with the pipeline and stevie will be stuck with shit. <br /><br />e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-39266532765879184562013-09-08T03:33:49.524-04:002013-09-08T03:33:49.524-04:00hi wazz...I don't know what to think.

Hitting the dictator's installations might make people feel better, but what is it going to accomplish? And if we undermine the U.N, as imperfect as it is, what does international law mean? I very much fear where all this is leading us...

I've never seen Obama's supporters so divided, I can't see how he can rally them again without some grand gesture. And the pipeline looks like a natural target. As for those who still think Harper is a political genius, I don't know what to say, except that some people are REALLY easy to impress...

After Flubya and his pack of lies about non existent WMDs in Iraq. The international community looks at the US now as a coop of liars acting out of their own interest, pure and simple. Obama has no support in America, Congress, the Senate, the UN or internationally for any strike. If the US bombs Syria anyway, take the hoodlums to the world court and charge the wackjobs. We don't need the delusional Yankees to 'save' the planet and world. wazznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-77227950498944785672013-09-07T13:47:19.992-04:002013-09-07T13:47:19.992-04:00Actually, Simon, you have made a very good point t...Actually, Simon, you have made a very good point that a strike on Syria would almost certainly doom the Keystone. Definitely more insightful analysis than some of the talking heads we see on TV (e.g. CBC At Issue or CTV).<br /><br />And there are some in the media (e.g. Chris Hall in the CBC) who seem to still propagate the myth that Harper is a chess player, thinking several moves ahead of his opponents. You have provided yet another example of how stupid Harper really is, not thinking about the implications of his encouraging Obama to strike Syria.<br /><br />You'd think that with the highly paid people (by taxpayers) he surrounds himself with in the PMO, someone would have pointed this out to him, eh? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-69517042024764999742013-09-07T00:33:44.943-04:002013-09-07T00:33:44.943-04:00Oil is proof abrahamic religion is a lie!
