Anyway, it does reek of vote buying. Most things they do does.

The funny thing about this whole Liberal anti-war stance is that they started it in the first place. As soon as they were out of office they started clucking about the war like it's a Conservative thing.
I think it still stems from the attempted correlation of Harper to Bush. The Liberals tried to cash-in from anti-american/anti-Bush sentiment in Canada by trying to paint Afghanistan as being an equal 'blunder' as the Iraq war and thus further equate Harper = Bush. Should be interesting if this correlation continues to be worth exploiting for votes as the US Presidential election gets into full swing and Bush-bashing gets stale as it will be moot.
