John Manley Eats His Own Tail

Shorter John Manley: "We must threaten to leave Afghanistan, in order to gain concessions from our allies, even though I am here today to tell you we will never leave Afghanistan".

Update:What do I think? I think Manley will give blue Liberals enough cover to strong arm Dion into extending the mission. Another win for the Ignatieff wing. A big win for Harper if my prediction comes true.

  1. Harper meant to give the Liberals enough cover for them to back down without utter humiliation, I think.

    I'm confused about how he can handle some issues so deftly and others so hamhandedly.

    He is uneven.

  2. I think, as long as he is trying to outwit the Liberals he is fine. If he tries anything else, he is in trouble.

  3. More unevenness?

  5. I give up. It's a story about the government's handling of torture in Afganistan.
