Canada won't help arm Syrian rebels: Baird

[Locutus]

OTTAWA - Canada is breaking ranks with its European Union allies over the decision to allow member countries to arm Syrian rebels.On Tuesday, the EU failed to renew its Syrian arms embargo, freeing countries to funnel arms into the war-torn Mideast nation - an endeavour supported by both France and the UK.


Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Canada won't follow suit and instead supports a political solution to the civil war in Syria, now entering its third year.


But he shrugged off the disagreement.


"Sovereign governments make their own decisions," he said. "In Europe, we see a group of committed allies that are normally like-minded. On occasion, we are not. There's nothing wrong with honest differences of opinion."

Maybe we should have a look at the fine print maybe. Maybe we've decided not to upset the Canadian citizen and invoked some kind of security clause to hide our involvement. If we aint involved we aint helpin the team and the team don't usually like to see that happinin cuz it spreads like herpes. I can't believe our new position all the more because of the Ministers well known disassociation from reality and truth.
We're involved, you can bet on that. We get to play the good cop again.

We aren't going to arm al Qaeda this time?

What changed from last year?

Oh sh*t I forgot....Israel had an election and the Lefties run the show now as a coalition and they prefer having Assad around.
