So much for accountable and transparent government.  Harper and his cronies are doing all they can to sweep this one under the rug, in good old Conservative gutter politics fashion. Attack Colvin's credibility, cover up, and stonewall the Opposition in Parliament. These guys got elected promising an end to the old way of politics, but they've only made things worse many times over. Oh, yeah, thanks Jack for propping these guys up; guess you've given up on becoming PM.

As a Canadian citizen I would like to thank Richard Colvin for bringing this issue to the attention of the Canadian public. I will try my absolute best to ensure this issue remains an issue through out the prorogation of parliment.

We are sick to the core. We are sadists. We watch death and destruction on the tell lie vision from birth to grave. A child is witness to 1500 murders by the age of 12.

We sit in our warm homes on our soft asses and laugh at the arms and legs being blown onto the camera lens but we freak out if we see a naked breast, we titter like like children

We have no empathy. We are cold hearted tax paying religious nutters that think some invisible God is sorting everything out while we await Armageddon

[zensaber]

That is because instead of detaining them the British just shot them.

The CONs try to Blame the Liberals(as usual),but didn't that Piece of Shit Hillier SIGN that "agreement" while there was a Federal Election going on ?Hillier that Fucking Arsehole "retired" just before it was became LAW to change the length of Time b4 working for the Militry Industrial Complex Lobby. Hillier just wanyed to go to WAR,but not do any Fighting. Biggest Scumbag CON next to Harper. Hope I see Both their Fat Arses at the Hague. Hillier Lying his Ugly mug off in Committee.

Our government is no different than any other corrupt government.

We are lapdogs - bitch of the USA and always will be as long as we, as a people elect paid off buffoons like Harper, Iggy and so on and do not get involved in crap like this.

It is all about resources in and creating military bases in the region - FOREVER - or as long as there is money and power from resources.

Bullshit lies and manipulations.

We stop war when we send those proposing it to THE FRONT LINE.
