It's ET, eh?

According to this press release, former Canadian Minister of Defence Paul Hellyer says UFOs and aliens are real, are here and are very sensitive about having guns pointed at them. Here's my favorite quote:

Hellyer warned, "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."

Is this really a good idea? We can't figure out how to get out of Iraq. Do you think we have an Andromeda Exit Strategy?
