'i don't understand this'

The Globe and Mail reports that the Washington Post reports that an unnamed Canadian official claims that Bush tried to bully Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin into signing up to his ridiculous missile defence plan:

"[Bush] leaned across the table and said: 'I'm not taking this position, but some future president is going to say, Why are we paying to defend Canada?' " the official was quoted as saying.

"Most of our side was trying to explain the politics, how it was difficult to do," he said.

But Mr. Bush "waved his hands and remarked: 'I don't understand this. Are you saying that if you got up and said this is necessary for the defence of Canada, it wouldn't be accepted?' "
