Iggy Offed Dion: No Revisionism Dionistas SVP
There so many incidents, the latest when Iggy "mistakenly" contradicted Leader in La Presse in last two weeks of campaign. Begs question: fool or scoundrel? But frankly, it got so bad that Rob Silver, who usually tried to portray unity, ended up joking about it bitterly in back on October 17 2007 in Macleans:
The US and Russia treat international law much like certain unnamed Quebec Liberal MPs treats Stephane Dion's leadership. In public, they say all the right things: "International law has my full confidence", "I am solidly behind this treaty", heck, I hear at a recent UN meeting, a bunch of US diplomats led the entire assembly in chants of "Tous Ensemble". Unfortunately, in reality, we all know that their support of international law is complete and utter BS. They do absolutely everything in their power to ignore and undermine it. They bad mouth it constantly behind the scenes and try to make sure that international law is considered "not hot" each Saturday morning by reporters who are only too happy to print their off-the record garbage. It is ultimately what is in their own narrow self-interest that matters and at the first opportunity, they will replace international law with a different system.
