OTTAWA, Jan 30 (Reuters) - A left-leaning Canadian legislator, infuriated by what she calls Washington's hypocrisy over Iraq, said on Thursday she would lead a team of volunteer arms "inspectors" to the United States next month to seek out weapons of mass destruction.
Libby Davies, member of Parliament for the New Democratic Party, said U.S. President George W. Bush posed just as much danger to the world as Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who faces the prospect of an imminent U.S.-led attack.
"Our action challenges the hypocrisy of the U.S. president's stance on weapons of mass destruction," she said.
"Our mission is to draw attention to the fact that there are weapons of mass destruction -- for example, about 15,000 nuclear warheads -- in the United States that pose a massive threat to global peace," she told reporters.
Davies, acting on behalf of a new international coalition called Rooting Out Evil, said the inspectors would travel to the Washington area on Feb. 22.
Coalition organizers said the United States was guilty of the same charges it had leveled against Iraq -- namely, it had massive stockpiles of deadly weapons, was ignoring the United Nations and refused to honor international treaties.
"We're following Bush's lead and demanding that the U.S. grant our inspectors immediate and unfettered access to any site in the country," said Rooting Out Evil organizer Christy Ferguson, adding the group would soon send a formal inspection request to U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
No one was immediately available for comment at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa.

"Live" by UN decree,die by UN decree. This will be the ultimate case of "what goes around,comes around". Just wait until Mexico goes to the UN and demands sanctions against the US for "abusing our undocumented guest workers in the US",for example.

Enemas to the north. Enemas to the south. What next? Becoming one country with them,with the youngest Jorge Bush (Jeb's son,George "The Mexican" Bush) as our president.

Canada's record of participation on the Allied side in the two World Wars was honorable and heroic. The Dominion of Canada needs to join with her fellow nations of the Anglosphere, America, Britain, and Australia, in the war on terrorism and the tyrant Sadaam Hussein. Canada has the opportunity to strike a blow for diminishing terrorism and removing a tyrant, or she can sit on the sidelines as an ingrate. To the Islamofascists, Toronto and Montreal are as evil as New York and Chicago. All Canadians who believe they are invulnerable from terrorism are foolish.
It would be well if "The True North, Strong and Free" lived up to her heritage.

Why does she think we're going to let her in the country? We no longer stop anybody else from coming in,so what makes you think we would make a exception for her?

Looney Canuck I am afraid we are losing the Looney race to the Canadians. I am beginning to see that their Looney effort has transcended or meger efforts. I think they have an advantage in that they have long cold winters to stay indoors and practice Loonieness while government school educated Americans have no clear goals or the guts to perservere.
To: Argus
Isn't it about time to tell Canada that we can no longer afford to include them in the North American Air Defense Command, and the next time some nutjob state like North Korea fires a nuke their way, they should call the UN to protect them? or france!

I think we should tell them to whistle for their supper, and invite Canada to continue to emulate Bush's example, after we liberate Iraq. You know, try to "liberate" the United States. That will give the U.S. an opportunity to clean house up north, and free the oppressed peoples of Canada from the Mapleleaf Taliban running that poor country.
(I know the loonie is the monetary currency up there, but why does the government have to use looneys for political currency?)

If she wants to see weapons of mass destruction in the U.S. send her to our living room on chili night. Biological warfare going on that peels the wallpaper off the walls.

Let them come and show them the weapons we never have denied having them she would be making the point for an iraq war even more clear. an it would show how inept their argument is .
