Harper eats babies? [Part II]

The Liberal camp must not be too pleased with the results from yesterday's debate. In a sign of increasing desperation today, they released a flurry of new attack ads. One of the new ones repeats the claim that Stephen Harper would have sent Canadian troops to Iraq in 2003. This is true. But Martin probably would have done the same. One NDP candidate has compiled a list on his website of quotes by Paul Martin on his position on Iraq before he became Prime Minister. For example, several months before the invasion began in March 2003, Martin said "I think Canada should be there." (Halifax Daily News, January 15th, 2003).

Both men have since changed their tune. Now they have the same position: namely, they will not send Canadian troops to Iraq. If past support for the war bothers you that much, vote NDP or Bloc.
