Deputy Prime Minister John Manley, on Friday March 21st 2003 said the images of bombs striking Iraq were 'chilling' and urged Washington to help rebuild the country properly to avoid a backlash.
~Another prediction from Manley that was TRUE! If only we had made him leader then, maybe
Bush would have listened to him.

John Manley thinking:'Why I am not Prime Minister, I feel so out of place here'

First elected to Parliament in 1988, representing Ottawa South, Deputy Prime Minister John Manley is a lawyer, bilingual technocrat and politician who has become the CEO of the country under Board Chairman Jean Chrétien. Manley runs 10 k marathons, likes hi-tech gadgets and is known as a center-right Liberal in the Pearsonian tradition. He has a self-deprecating sense of humour and a straightforward manner. Manley enjoyed a golden year. He is well-liked and has gone from being the also ran candidate for the Liberal leadership to the dark horse racer. He will have a lot of the Chrétien people with him. Manley is a strong second choice for many of the Paul Martin’s people (if they could get over only winning 90% of the leadership vote). So you do the math. It’s very possible that Manley could be the next Prime Minister. Did we mention that Manley was TIME Canada’s Man of the Year (2001)?
