Pak\u00adistani dic\u00adta\u00adtor Per\u00advez Mushar\u00adraf revealed, in an inter\u00adview with the CBC<\/span> (Cana\u00addi\u00adan Broad\u00adcast\u00ading Corp.) exact\u00adly how the lead\u00ader\u00adship of the Grand Alliance Against Ter\u00adror\u00adism sees Canada\u2019s role. With some insult\u00ading\u00adly snide put-downs, he dis\u00admissed any con\u00adcern in Cana\u00adda about casu\u00adal\u00adties in Afghanistan as cry-baby weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cana\u00addi\u00adans, when lis\u00adten\u00ading to this boor\u00adish dri\u00adv\u00adel, should remem\u00adber exact\u00adly what Per\u00advez Mushar\u00adraf is: he is not the demo\u00adc\u00adra\u00adt\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly elect\u00aded leader of any\u00adthing. He is a mur\u00adder\u00adous gang\u00adster, who seized con\u00adtrol of a coun\u00adtry in a mil\u00adi\u00adtary coup. His regime is bru\u00adtal, cor\u00adrupt, and oppres\u00adsive, espe\u00adcial\u00adly towards women, for whom he has often demon\u00adstrat\u00aded his con\u00adtempt. He is a long-time sup\u00adport\u00ader of the Tal\u00adiban,. who has set up a smoke-and-mir\u00adrors show of pho\u00adny \u201cwar-on-ter\u00adror\u201d hokum, while it is almost cer\u00adtain that he is cur\u00adrent\u00adly pro\u00adtect\u00ading the Tal\u00adiban and Al-Kai\u00adda .\u2026 per\u00adhaps even arm\u00ading, train\u00ading and sup\u00adply\u00ading them again. He is also in poses\u00adsion of nuclear weapons, acquired large\u00adly through a net\u00adwork of espi\u00adonage and theft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prime Min\u00adis\u00adter Harp\u00ader, are you lis\u00adten\u00ading? This man, who obvi\u00adous\u00adly con\u00adsid\u00aders Cana\u00addi\u00adans to be mere dis\u00adpos\u00adable peas\u00adants, is the man that you have been telling us is a great and noble ally. Musharaff\u2019s arro\u00adgant con\u00adtempt for Cana\u00adda and Cana\u00addi\u00adans is self-evi\u00addent. You want Cana\u00addi\u00adans to risk their lives, and die, not for free\u00addom, or peace, or to pro\u00adtect the inno\u00adcent, but for sick\u00aden\u00ading scum like this dictator.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s orig\u00adi\u00adnal mis\u00adsion in Afghanistan was to secure lib\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded zones, pro\u00adtect ordi\u00adnary Afghans, and help them recon\u00adstruct a war-torn and pil\u00adlaged soci\u00adety. That is what Cana\u00addi\u00adans expect\u00aded our forces to do. It is Prime Min\u00adis\u00adter Harp\u00ader who has dis\u00adtort\u00aded and sub\u00advert\u00aded that mis\u00adsion so that Cana\u00addi\u00adan sol\u00addiers will act as mer\u00adce\u00adnar\u00adies for George W. Bush, in a per\u00adpet\u00adu\u00adal cam\u00adpaign of war\u00adfare that is rigged to nev\u00ader accom\u00adplish any\u00adthing and nev\u00ader end. It can\u00adnot suc\u00adceed or end, because the forces it fights in Afghanistan are safe and pro\u00adtect\u00aded by Mushar\u00adraf in Pakistan\u2019s north-west\u00adern region. The only result will be that Cana\u00adda will spend mon\u00adey, and Cana\u00addi\u00adans will die. Nobody will be bet\u00adter off, no bad peo\u00adple will be pun\u00adished, no good peo\u00adple saved. The only peo\u00adple who will ben\u00ade\u00adfit will be George W. Bush\u2019s gang of cronies, and ver\u00admin like Mushar\u00adraf, both of whom have clear\u00adly demon\u00adstrat\u00aded that they con\u00adsid\u00ader us to be their serfs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
