Yeah, that was one big "whoopsie," wasn't it?


In which Stephen the Porcine tries desperately to weasel, but Gilles has him by the grapes and isn't letting go:

"Do you realize today that you were making a huge error by supporting Bush and Australia ... and would you make the same decision today as you were proposing Canada to do in 2003?"

The prime minister initially tried to dodge the question.

"I've made it very clear Canada is not going to Iraq. Obviously you know the answer to that question," he said.

But Duceppe continued to badger him as Harper tried to steer the discussion back to Afghanistan: "This is not the question I asked. . . I want to hear it. Do you admit it was an error of George Bush and you made the same error?"

Harper finally answered: "It was absolutely an error. It's obviously clear the evaluation of weapons of mass destruction proved not to be correct. That's absolutely true and that's why we're not sending anybody to Iraq."

At which point Liz May plants one good stiletto to the happy sack for good measure:

Green Leader Elizabeth May shot back: "We're only not sending anyone to Iraq because you weren't prime minister at the time."

Opposition: 1; Stephen Harper's family jewels: 0.

AFTERSNERK: Say it, Steve. Say it! SAY IT!!
