Chrétien supports U.S. push for war

Minister Jean Chrétien took Canada a step closer to war yesterday, raising the prospect of joining the U.S. and Britain in an attack on Iraq if there is evidence President Saddam Hussein has defied the United Nations.

Chrétien's endorsement of George W. Bush's stand came the day after the president telephoned him to talk about the possibility of war in Iraq.

Chrétien said the U.S. doesn't need to go back to the Security Council a second time for permission to attack ? the resolution adopted in November gives a green light for military action if there is evidence that Iraq has failed to disarm or to reveal all its weapons programs.

Well, Chrétien, nice to see you agree with our President and Tony Blair.
Welcome aboard, Neighbor to the North!
(We're sorry about Hitlery Clinton yelling at you and our boys accidentally killing yours in Afghanistan.)
We're rolling!
Baghdad delenda est!
