I'd like to know where exactly they would be getting these troups from? I agree with Harper that the Canadian Military is way too thin to do this job.
I mean really, the Liberals look like Hitler in his bunker. Sending mythical and imaginary divisions out to fight

If its hard to dig up 40 soldiers to send to Baghdad, then we're in a real pickle. I doubt we'll have problems providing this 'man power'.
The only thing that makes me blink about this is (on the radio, no idea bout credibility) I heard that it was in preparation over the next 2-3 years to cover the w/drawal of US troops. If the US troops leave, and Canadians, Poles, and Belgians are walking the streets of Baghdad w/ their trained Iraqi counterparts... that scenario gives me a bad feeling.
I assume of course Canuck soldiers would be used _strictly_ for training, as there's not much else a platoon could do... cover a city block or two I suppose.
