Troops out of Afghanistan

For the most part, Thomas Walkom got it right. Let's hope that the Tories and war-hawk Liberals get it right too and get Canadian forces out of Afghanistan.


Canada's current fighting role in Afghanistan cannot be sustained. The reasons are not military. They are political. The death of eight soldiers this week underlies this stark fact....NATO military efforts are serving only to further alienate the people we are supposed to be helping.

didn't Taliban Dion say get the troops out (by 2009)? Read that in the Globe and Mail, but I don't remember seeing eons of blogs posts besmirching and ridiculing him? There's not a double standard here, where, on the one hand, Dion is given credibility for making this remarkable assessment, but poor old Jack, well he's just a fool and knows nothing. Gotta love that alternate universe thing!
