Harper Survives First Crisis with Battle Scars
Now that over 1000 Canadians have managed to get out of Lebanon, the Conservative government is claiming complete success.
Let’s Recap:
Closing the embassy to Canadians and keeping them in the dark for 6 days is success…
Evacuating Canadians only from Beirut, forcing some to travel on highways that are being bombed by Israel is a success…
Standing side by side with George W. Bush saying Israel is justified to blow up Canadian civilians then flying to Cyprus for a photo op is a success…
Evacuating permanent residents only if they have close family in Canada, turning other permanent residents away at the Port of Beirut is a success…
In the meantime, thousands of other Canadians are still trapped in Lebanon. If that is success, I can hardly wait to see them fail.

Bud: It took a few days but there it is. A Conservative has fallen back on the old saw: "It is the Liberals fault".
And you blamed a diplomat to boot.
Nice.
Incidently, read the Globe and Mail from yesterday. There is an interesting piece in it about how the PMO micro-managed the whole evacuation.
The Ambassador could not even decide to take a shit, when this whole thing started, without getting prior permission from Stephen Harper.
Oh wait, never mind. The G&M is a socialist newspaper that has a "Liberal bias" just like every other newspaper that writes anything that could be perceived as critical of the Dear Leader and his merry men (and women).
Bud, I don't think this is Harper's Katrina, so you really don't need to cast some ramdom diplomat as his "Brownie." Besides, I think he's doing a heckuva job.
