Wrong. You'd have a hell of a harder time convincing the international community to bomb Toronto. And wrong...it was oil. Spin it anyway you want, it was to secure interest in oil reserves in Iraq. Even Mr. Greenspan admits it. 18 year republican....can't go against him can you?Quote:

We wouldn't need the international community to bomb Toronto to take over Canada. We'd have just driven north into Alberta (and probably let Parti Québécois have their way with Quebec to buy off that segment of the population).Quote:

But, at least you aren't claiming that it was to topple Hussein for trying to kill HW.
Would look kinda funny for the US to directly import the oil to the States. Did I say "import directly to the states"? "Secure" could mean a lot of things.Quote:

Oh and it would be foolish to invade up here. But that won't happen.
Lol.. left this thread for a couple weeks, I come back and were bombing Toronto... well done chaps, good to see diplomacy at work!
We'll beat them off with our Tim Horton's coffee. :)Quote:

Now don't get me started on American failures, they tried to come out with "fuel efficient" cars starting in the 70s but the Vega, Pinto, Pacer all had serious problems that the Japs kicked the U.S. ass over and still do today. Americans pyhsically kicked the Japanese ass in WW2 but then the Japanese people kicked the Americans ass in the way of electronics and comuter cars decades later.
Anyway enough of this car talk. Bring on the metric system and universal health care!
