Dopes for Leaders

As reported in the National Post:

C.F.B. GAGETOWN, N.B. -- Paul Martin rewrote Canadian military history yesterday when he said twice that the liberation of Europe began in 1944 with the invasion of Norway. He meant to say the invasion of Normandy.

"Sixty years ago, Canadians were working alongside their British and American allies planning for the invasion of Norway and the liberation of Europe," Mr. Martin said in a speech to 350 soldiers at this training base outside Fredericton.

Analysts have said for a while that Martin was trying to get closer to George Bush than the Cretien government was. He's looking kinda close to Bush in my eyes.
