    Looks like their wrong on this one too:

    Hillier Not 'Furious' With PM
    Josh Pringle
    Wednesday, January 30, 2008

    Canada's top soldier insists being furious is the furthest thing from his mind.

    Chief of Defence Staff General Rick Hillier is denying reports he phoned the Prime Minister last week and vented his anger about being dragged into the controversy surrounding the issue of detainees in Afghanistan.

    Hillier says he's on vacation.

    Prime Minister Stephen Harper told the House of Commons on Tuesday he's not spoken with Hillier on the phone in several weeks.

    Harper said when he met face-to-face last week with Hillier they didn't talk about prisoners.

    He also denied the Federal Government is trying to make the military a scapegoat.

    Your report has all the sincerity of a player on the trading block insisting that his current team is "where I want to play" yet is eccstatic to be with a new club when he gets traded.

    Hillier was furious but for obvious reasons isn't go to go against the PM at a time like this.

    What exactly did that mean, Derby? Can you run that through the Dion "what I meant to say" Machine?

    See what I mean? A media report and you respond with an attack on the Liberals by attacking Dion. Thats all you ever do. You throw in a jibe at the Liberals. .

    This report didn't come out of nowhere. They rarely do.

    The PM to deny it and so does Hillier.

    Its no different then all the other denials the Gov't makes only to be busted later on.

    If I was Hillier I'd be pissed, but of course, I wouldn't let it be publicly known how pissed I was with my boss.

    Come on. Are you going to say it?
    "This is unfair"... "Do you think it's easy.. to keep apologizing for these retards?"

    The media has been so desperate to find dirt on the CPC they resorted to unreliable sources and Dan Rather to make something up, and you Leftards ate it up without even looking at it.
    Now it's proven false.
    Just like the reactor fiasco,
    Just like Schreiber,
    Just like global warming.

    Read and find what? More lies or inflated issues? Find more political slant to the story where none existed?
    I think if nothing else, this Harper government has shown Canadians that governments can and need to deal with issues on a case by case issue, not from a set in stone party policy position.

    You dumb fuck CONserveIDIOTS. Dodge, deny, deflect and spin. Admit nothing and alway always blame everybody else. :roll: You would be screaming Liberal coverup were it the other way around.

    Hillier is furious with Harper.

    The reactor was a black mark against Harper who played partisan politics and ignored the advice of bonafide experts (as always).

    Schreiber? That was proved beyond any doubt.

    Global warming? Its always right wing fanatics who deny the truth. Start looking at your creationist and 9/11 conspiracy brethern for your mirror image.

    As always Ridenhack. You remain in awe of me and my ownership of you.

    It looks good on you. :lol:

    So far we have only one report with no proof that Hillier is angry with Harper, and 2 reports of the opposite. You can't provide any proof and if forced, you'll cry that he can't because of "political interference"..
    Who's the one making things up again?


    Again, you chase after my examples because you're lost on this one, and I'm going to resist following you because that's just a distraction. Better to follow those failures in their own threads than make every thread a mile wide and an inch deep.
