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.

Amen Canuckybro.
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’.
wasted money. conservatives will lose votes because of this
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.

okay i dont know what to say to this, personally i wanna go back over but thats just me, i think we should stay and eradicate the insurgency its a good enough reason for me
i know everyone has their own opinion about this matter. I personally have my aplication in the armed forces right now. I am trying to get over seas as soon as possible
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.
Not a fan at harper, were not there for war were there to keep peace. He has to understand you must build a force before you can see one obtain there own ways. I hope those threats he gets dont come true, but harper better not be wrong.
we are not there just to keep peace. the infantry men over their have been tasked with search and destroy the enemy
You all watch, we are not leaving Alganistan at all. Something will happen to keep us there, purhaps attaks on Canada will strengthen that rebound. Harper is such a liar, we were suppose to be out 2 years ago as per Harper statements then. It is all politics, watch and learn….
“By 2011, when this military mission ends, our Canadian soldiers will have served there a decade on the front lines, much longer than during either of the world wars,”
You got a liitle more than 12 Months Mr. Harper.. hope you are working on your exit plan.. Time is ticking.. We are all watching!
