The federal Liberals, who want Canada to end its combat role in Kandahar, Afghanistan, just over a year from now, were ducking for cover yesterday after John Manley's assertion that there is "no operational logic" to setting such a firm deadline.

Meeting with his MPs and senators in Kitchener, Liberal Leader Stephane Dion said the party was still studying Manley's recommendations. However, he repeated the Liberals' official position that Canada must end its combat mission in Kandahar by February 2009.

What does it take? Why wont the opposition parties do the right thing? The bloc and NDP are just as bad. Give your head a shake Dion.
