Why can't you just admit when your wrong....

First off, let me just say this...never turn your heat on then leave your apartment for 10 hours...I am sweating worse than George Dubya when asked to explain his foreign policies and all he can say is "Bombs"....but the mention of the presidential Jackass does lead me into the topic of the day. This post was going to be fun and light hearted but then I read the paper Yesterday.

So Condaleeza Rice was in Ottawa this past week (for like 22 hours)where she met with different Ministers and the like.She was of course asked about the soft wood lumber issue, am issue that we as a country find important as it is a major bone of contention right now between us and the U.S. for those who don't understand the issue or know much about the Soft Wood Lumber Dispute check it out here.

So in her visit Condaleeza said that Canada needs to "stop talking in apocalyptic language" about this issue and that it will be resolved and that it just needs more negotiations......Hey Ms.Rice...yeah you, Condi...incase you haven't realized ..There ..is ..NOTHING ..to ..negotiate. Canada has been cleared of any "unfair" subsidizing of the forest industry, by the Free Trade association panel and the World trade Organization..Your country has been told to lift tariffs andpay back the 5 billion. Just because you don't agree with the decision doesn't mean that just because you are the "United States of America"(insert maniacal, egotisc, evil genius laugh here)doesn't mean you can just ignore it. Now I know you guys have other things on the go...Like the whole Tom Delay thing(maybe he's got the 5 billion)and I'm sure the Dubya is a little busy with playing with the toys in the sand box..looking of W.M.D's and the like but if you could maybe call him in from recess and get his tutors to go over the details with him maybe them he would see the light....on second thought that won't work either. So whats the answer Condi? I'm not sure....but the U.S. needs to wake up and play by the rules..this isn't about money its about a broken trust and failure to keep up a promise...as much as your guys like to think of your self as the rulers of the planet....you are not independent...you need help just like every other country...you need us...and our lumber and our beef...play by the rules...no one likes a cheater....tell me...when you play games..if your losing do you flip the board over or turn of the power to the playstation...so it not like you actually lost and "have to play again"? just casue it didn't go your way?.....
