| C'mon Tank let's get this straight, the PM that you want to drop into Afghanistan with these three misfits is the ONLY Prime Minister in the last 30 years that
even came close to supporting the Armed Forces, has restored their morale and listened to their Chief of Staff . If you want to drop anyone into that pile of crushed stone
drop Jack Layton, the gutless wonder who was asking for us to pull out before we even got there and he may as well take the rest of his party with him I bet there isn't
one of them that would ask for a pullout if their sorry asses were on the line! |
That is not entirely correct. We did pretty well in Bosnia too if memory serves me right, and our Forces got a lot of support AND respect there. The problem with this effort is:
1. Our PM is a first-class prat -- who doesn't know his 'brass-from-his-oboe' -- showboating to gain favour with G.W. and the other right-wing conservatives in Canada, and
2. We will NEVER succeed in this effort as long as the 'back-door' is open and the Taliban have safe-haven in Pakistan.
I WILL agree, though, we could send Jack Layton over there to try to negotiate with the Taliban. That would ALSO be the LAST we'd every HAVE to hear from that retarded SOB!!!
Frankly, until we plug the 'back-door' into Pakistan, this will be our Viet Nam, preventing us (& NATO) from moving forward to helping the Afghan people get back on their feet. Even then, they are going to have an ENORMOUS job cleaning up their OWN mess.
