My Mood: | Chretien to Blair: Don't go to Iraq See? Blair should've listened to us damnit. Quote: |
The former prime minister also describes his meetings with U.S. President George W. Bush, who was trying to overcome Mr. Chretien's misgivings about Canada joining the planned U.S invasion of Iraq but who, Mr. Chretien says, didn't have enough evidence to "convince a judge of the municipal court in Shawinigan." Mr. Chretien says he tried, over a beer in Johannesburg, South Africa, to talk to Tony Blair, who was then British prime minister, out of invading Iraq. Mr. Chretien pointed out that the U.S. was choosing to replace a leader like Iraq's Saddam Hussein instead of Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe because Iraq had oil and Zimbabwe didn't.
