The CBC is reporting that Stephen Harper claims he would not send Canadian troops to Iraq but he applauds the US efforts toward Iraqi freedom.
On Iraq, Harper said he supported the removal of Saddam Hussein and applauded the “efforts to establish democracy and freedom.”
But he said he would not commit Canadian troops to the country and added his “great
disappointment” at not substantiating pre-war intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction.
Sounds like another way of saying “I wish I could send troops but I know that voters wouldn’t support it if I mentioned this before the election”..
There is an interesting response to Mr. Harper’s position written By David Stow Here. It’s worth a peek…
