Chickenhawk Howard

From the Globe and Mail :
"Addressing the Canadian House of Commons yesterday, Australian PM John Howard described the US as a "remarkable and powerful force for good in the world," adding that Canada, Australia and other nations should deeply appreciate "the decency and hope that the power and purpose of the United States represents to the world."
He referred directly to the previous Liberal government's opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq"

Oh yeah, Canada is sure sorry about missing the boat on Iraq.
What were we thinking?
And weren't you the little prick who publicly claimed to have seen the US evidence of WMDs in Iraq?

And from NaPo : "As for those massive uranium reserves shared by Canada and Australia, Howard warned that a proposed Global Nuclear Energy Partnership - while "laudably" seeking to curb nuclear proliferation - must not "work against the interests of countries such as Canada and Australia." "

By "interests", Howard presumably meant the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, where he later went for dinner.

Harper greeted Howard with full military honours.
This is the way we always greet those heads of state who are very big on war now but who previously declined to serve in the Viet Nam War when they had the chance.
