Canadian Forces to Play No Role in Iraq War OTTAWA (Reuters) - Prime Minister Jean Chretien said on Monday that Canada's armed forces would play no role in any attack launched by the United States on Iraq. In the last two weeks Canada has tried hard to bridge the splits at the U.N. Security Council over Iraq but its attempts came to nothing. The United States and Britain now look set to attack Iraq without U.N. authorization. "If military action proceeds without a new resolution of the Security Council, Canada will not participate," Chretien told Parliament to storms of applause. Canada has around 30 armed forces personnel serving with the U.S. and British contingents in the Gulf and has contributed two warships to a naval force currently stationed in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf.
