I have no idea if this is true but it sure is funny.


U.S. Secretary Defense Donald Rumsfeld apologized today for
referring to France and Germany as an "Axis of Weasels."

"I'm sorry about that Axis of Weasels remark," said Mr.
Rumsfeld. "I didn't mean to dredge up the history France and
Germany share of pathetic compliance with ruthless dictators."

The Defense Secretary said he was "way out of bounds" with the
comments.

"I should have known better than to remind people that these two nations-which live in freedom thanks only to the righteous might of America, Britain and their allies-that these nations are
morally and politically bankrupt, and have failed to learn the lessons of history," he said.

"It really was an inappropriate thing to say-you know, the Axis of
Weasels thing. I really should not have called them the Axis of
Weasels. I think it's the 'Weasels' part that was most
offensive...you know, when I said that France and Germany form an Axis of Weasels. Of course, I'm so sorry."

The Defense Secretary continued, "I want it to be known that no
other man holds the weasel in as high a regard as I do, and I'll
be the first to point out the crucial role this noble creature
plays in our ecosystem. I went way over the line comparing the
weasel to a bunch of rude, unwashed, leftist Euroweenie
surrender monkeys who change their underwear once a month whether they need to or not. And I just did it again, didn't I? I just
insulted the monkeys.

I'm quitting while I'm ahead."

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

mmafiter

I wish he did say that, cause it's true. Unfortunately, the Canadian government seems to be acting in a similar manner as France and germany lately.

Carolyn Parrish sickens me.

ALBOB

Yeah, I've been noticing a bit of a cooling off up there. What's up?

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

DaMayor

I've always liked ol' Donald. Bet he'd be a helluva drinking partner.
Yeah, what's with you Canadians....pffst

Rusty

I doubt he said that..........

In my opinion the Canadians are still with us on the war, they are just taking a political back step.

~RUSTY~

DaMayor

I doubt he (DR) went that far. However, he did make the original comment about the 'axis of weasels'. As far as Canada's concerned, I agree. They're staying on politically safe ground....not an entirely stupid move really.

ALBOB

BULL I say we invade Canada too. They're all descended from the French anyway, ya' know?

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

Dero

EhBooby!!!

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.

ALBOB

And there's your proof Damn frogs.

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

Dero

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.

mmafiter

We are run by Liberals and the population of Canada is so apathetic it's disgusting.

It's true, the old saying "You get the government you deserve."

Carolyn Parish is just one Liberal parliment member who has bashed Americans. She said "Those damn Americans. I hate them."

Then she half heartedly apologized, then went on a talk show and basically gloated over the fact she wasn't repremanded by our Prime Minister.

It's the classic case of biting the hand that feeds you.

ALBOB

Hell, we've got AMERICANS saying that. Fuck 'em, we'll do what needs to be done.

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

Dero

As a member of this"APATHETIC" population,I don't agree with what she said,but to bash Canadians like you're doing makes me wonder...
If you are so MISPLEASED with your country and your fellow citizens,why don't you move across the river???

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.

ALBOB

I didn't do that when Slick Willey was getting blow jobs in the oval office. I know you were talking to mmafiter but I think it's all the same, you have your home and even if some of your relatives are asshole, it's still your home.

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

mmafiter

Because I disagree with my government's policy of smiling and acting like a good neighbour to America, then ridiculing them behind thier back, I should leave my country?!!?

I said apathetic, because every person I've spoken to doesn't like that our government "misplaced" a billion dollars, destroyed our military capabilties through neglect, broke numerous promises, and then Jean Chretien basically says "Too bad"; but we don't do anything about it.

I've written many letters to my MP, to Janet Stewart (telling her to resign), to the newspaper, etc. I think I AM a true Canadian. At least I'll fight to make sure the country isn't going to hell, while my fellow "Canadians" look around and shrug thier shoulders and say "What can I do?"

THAT is apathy.

Dero

I agree with what the original point was(stating that a certain politician was bad mouthing Americans in such and this,while she was being recorded by a stray boom mike)As a politician she should NOT be saying such things,AT ANY TIME!!!I agree with that,but to put down the whole population of Canada like Mmafiter just did,is an insult to all Canadian members of this site.
AND THAT IS WHAT I TAKE AS A PERSONAL OFFENSE!!!

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.

mmafiter

Well, as a population Canadians are apathetic.

If you vote in Federal, Provincial, and City elections; voice your opinion when something displeases you, then you aren't in the same category. Hence the statement I made shouldn't bother you.

If you don't do these things, then I have to ask why?

Dero

I voted FED/Prov and County,I am involved in the municipal's and the county's affairs.
I also wrote to my PM when this lady was froathing at the mouth,but you don't hear me putting the WHOLE COUNTRY DOWN...DON'T YOU?

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.

Scotty the Body

Unfortunately for us in Western Canada, we get the government Ontario and Quebec votes in.
Look at the last election, practically no one west of Manitoba voted liberal, so because of that, we get shit on every chance Jean Chretien gets.

Cool

mmafiter

I agree and it's terribly unfair. All politicians have to do is basically win Ontario and some of Quebec. So naturally, that's where most of thier efforts go.

mmafiter

Well good for you then. You, like me, are a dying breed.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree cause I'm not going to convince you of my argument, and you sure as hell aren't going to convince me that Canadians aren't apathetic.

ALBOB

No you don't, you're both saying the same thing just using different words. You both agree there's a problem with the current Canadians in power. You both agree you need to take action to change that. You both DO take that action. The only disconnect between you is mmafiter's use of the absolute statement "ALL Canadians" and Dero's offense at being lumped in with the other pin-heads. Get past that little hitch and you could be drinking buddies.

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

Dero

Just to prove you wrong on your previous statement,("the population of Canada is so apathetic it's disgusting.") the fact that I'm sitting here arguing this point with you should prove to you that NOT all of the Canadian population is like you think they are...It's not my fault if you see the world according to your neigborhood.Canada is not just in your county!!!
I am a PROUD CANADIAN and I do care about it!!!
...and I'm not the only one!

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.

mmafiter

Semantics, but fine. I shouldn't have said ALL. There, better?

Dero

A thing I learned... Gotta be responsible of what you say...
When it's wrong,retract it...
That's all.


Wanna go for a beer?

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.

mmafiter

I don't think I'm wrong, but for the sake of ending this stupid argument, I'm agreeing I may have used a poor choice of words, hence my reference to semantics.

Dero

OK...

Senior citizen at work, don't bugg me.
