Mommy make the bad man stop and the former Defence Department Assistant Deputy Minister



Read the whole thing from the Montreal Gazette, but this is the operative paragraph....

As part of the Harper government’s efforts to promote the F-35 stealth fighter, a top Conservative MP is criticizing a respected retired public servant who has advised government on defence purchases.
Edmonton MP Laurie Hawn, who’s the parliamentary secretary to Defence Minister Peter MacKay, has been sending out emails promoting the F-35 purchase and attacking critics of the deal, including former Defence Department assistant deputy minister Alan Williams.
The email, which has circulated among retired and serving Canadian Forces members as well as journalists, also attacks a retired Australian air force officer who has raised questions about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and an Australian aviation analyst who has done the same.
I've been amused and annoyed at the tactics employed by F-35 critics.

Let me assure you that the mailing lists for these notices are large..surprising...and if you follow the "FACTS(?)" provided and then read stories put out by so called journalist after the fact then you'd be more than disgusted.

Suffice it to say that a critic of the program got tarred with the same brush as supporters have for a couple of years now and he's running hoping that Mommy makes them stop.

Suck it up big boy!
