As I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, SDA linked to you about this video.

“How is it possible that the Liberal foreign affairs critic was not only unaware of these basic facts, but was so sure of the opposite that he forcefully interrupted to contradict me – not once, but repeatedly?”

Well, that’s easy. He’s a liberal, and liberals think that if they just wish hard enough — or shout loud enough — things they don’t like or understand will go away. Poof!

Rae’s gaffe is ridiculous – this should get national coverage, don’t you think? That the Liberal foreign affairs critic is so deeply unaware of his own portfolio is a disgrace to him and his party. I’m surpised the Conservatives haven’t run with this already!

I certainly won’t gainsay you about Canadian military personnel serving in Iraq, but they are serving as exchange officers within the US military. Your comment wrt Natynczyk as reported in your blog is rather misleading. The Canwest news article clearly states that he is working under the aegis of the US military, and is not representative of our national foreign policy wrt Iraq. Although I’m a little antsy about CF members serving in combat areas that Canada isn’t involved in, I realize that this is unavoidable in mutual and cooperative defense agreements such as NORAD and NATO. Are you perhaps suggesting that we review our participation in those agreements?

Having spent 32 years in the CF, I can attest to foreign exchanges and what is involved. For one, there are Canadians (in authority positions) Under Cheyenne Mountain maintaining vigilant watch 24/7. You would appreciate that Mr. Rae would indeed be aware of that fact. Perhaps which is why some of the (present) defense critics (Mr. Coderre and Ms. Black) are not taken seriously by Canadians in the know, who are actually better informed than they are. There is more to being defense critics than – Just the nameplate only! I strongly suggest they do their homework.

Once again, Bobo proves that his failure as premier of ontario was not a one time event. Before the good people of Toronto Centre elect Bob, they must realize that he could end up as PM in the goofy world of Liberal leadership politics. Bob is a good lawyer, mediator, fact finder. That is a good detail man. He is not a big picture guy. Besides his time has come and gone. We have seen all Bob’s tricks and they don’t work.

Bob Rae should be embarrassed by his performance.

Chris, nice job catching this on video (looking forward to seeing it!) and sharing the event with others.
