    If Harper had concentrated on reconstruction from the very beginning, our troops wouldn’t be getting killed. Of course, if we weren’t puppets for the US army, we wouldn’t be there in the first place. Insurgent by definition is a rebel. Harper would promote the idea that if we aren’t there, the taliban will run amuck, when really, our troops are just protecting oil pipelines. Harper cares as little about Afghans as he does Canadians.
    Contemptable prick.

    You can’t march into someone’s home then point a gun at someone’s head and say, “We are right and you VILL be a democracy! Sieg Heil!” and expect them to see you as ‘liberators’.

    Do you forget thatthe Liberals sent us to Afghanistan back in 2001/2002 for a Combat mission, that we went to the capitol for reconstruction and peace keeping in 2003-2005, then went back down to the south in 2006 to remove the taliban and rebuild the area.

    It is hard to rebuild a school when it keeps getting burnt down and the school children killed.

    Harper didnt get us into this mess, he just inherited it. Hes giving us the tools to do our jobs.

    even if you don’t accept it, Canada has always been a policing Country. what the hell do you think Peace Keepers do?

    The “Main force” is out by 2011 so the liberals can shut there traps now.
