Martin says darts at Bush are paying dividends

Prime Minister Paul Martin said Friday his verbal missiles fired at President George W. Bush's environmental and softwood lumber policies are already paying dividends.

Although his comments on the environment prompted a diplomatic furore this week, he claimed responsibility for U.S. concessions in the softwood dispute.

"I'm going to call it like I see it," Martin told The Vancouver Sun in an exclusive interview shortly after he appeared in Montreal with Bill Clinton, the former Democratic U.S. president who is far more popular among Canadians than Bush.

Martin, who will arrive in B.C. for his first campaign visit early next week, triggered a diplomatic storm this week by saying that the Bush administration lacks a "global conscience" by not signing on to Kyoto commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

of course now the bushgang will try to punish him, so be prepared Martin.

(I'd like to edit the extra words off the subj. line but on edit the extra words don't show up?)

1. How the tide has turned.
Fear gives way to anger. People are finally speaking out.

That fool Bush did nothing except make the world more unstable.

2. Martin's beginning an election campaign.
Pissing off Bush and appearing with Clinton can't hurt.
