"When will the prime minister realize that the buck stops with him?"

Dion - "Mr Speaker, the Prime Minister allowed his government to mislead Canadians on an issue as serious as torture. They even blamed the military for their own failure of leadership. This is completely unacceptable. Why won't the Prime Minister do what he should have done months ago - Stop blaming others and take responsibility for his own decisions?

Harper - "I'm not sure what the honourable member is even talking about."

He's been living in a bunker with no outside access for the last week?

Dion - "When will the prime minister realize that the buck stops with him on the leadership of this mission and that he cannot scapegoat the military - this is completely unacceptable."

Harper - "This government hasn't attempted to scapegoat the military for anything."

Oh well then, that's all right. All those annoyed military types can just get over it.

Really, don't you just cringe when you hear Milliken refer to Harper as the "Right Honourable Prime Minister?" I mean it's a bit of an oxymoron.

Dion seems to be doing a much better job in QP than he was previously.

On a side note, I wish everyone would cool it with all the heckling and act like adults.
