Things keep getting worse over there. I hope Bush appreciates this, because if not, we should bring them home.

You are a moron.

Just another guy who is anti-Bush, therefore Canadians cant do what is right becasue it may benefit the United States.

And yes the reason we are in Afghanistan is because the US was attacked. Just like we were in WW1 because Belgium was attacked, we were in WW2 because Poland was attacked, and because we were in Korea because South Korea was attacked. Out of those 4 countries, I know which would be the first to walk through fire to assist us, so why is our 2,200 men contingent a bad thing?

Yes because we send troops to Afghanistan some are free'd up for Iraq, but that does not make Afghanistan a bad mission or a sideshow. Afghani's have been brought there first bit of peace in 30 years, they have had democratic elections, women actually have rights, kids now go to school and the list goes on and on and on. That is what Canadians are there to do, no matter how some people want to downplay what it is there doing.

And when you say we should leave, did you ever consider what the troops might think if we do that? The ones who actually do the fighting, and a group I am sure you are not apart of. Thousands of men have volunteered to go over there and how do you think they would feel if there accomplishments ended because people like you didnt want to support Bush? Every member of the CF has enlisted or reinlisted since September the 11th, and they know that they could go to Afghanistan. So if you really think we should pull out, why dont you go down to Metawa Armoury and ask the boys there what they'd think of that?

And about our G Wagons, thats just horrible. I know in countries where militaries are funded right, there Hummers can take an IED explosion and all of the crew can walk away from it. And incinerator, I wouldnt blame DND as much as I would blame parliment. DND is only working with the funds that they are given, and I doubt they have enough money to buy capable veichles. It would be best if you could write a letter to your parliment member over that honoustly.
