It would seem that universities are still the best source of 'useful idiots' in the western world.
You should get a job in the Bush White House.

Let's see what Layton said about the Afghan mission shall we?

It has no clear goals, no exit strategy and no criteria to judge success, he said at a news conference Thursday.
"This is not the right mission for Canada,'' he said. "There is no balance. In particular, it lacks a comprehensive rebuilding plan and commensurate development assistance.''

Sounds fairly accurate to me. Is having clear goals, an exit strategy, a rebuilding plan and a development assistance plan a bad thing?

And I seem to have missed the part where (you claim) he wants to engage in dialogue with the Taliban, unless you're referring to this quote:

He said Canada should be working for a "comprehensive peace process'' involving all parties to the fighting in Afghanistan.

So it would seem White Doors is playing fast and loose with the facts.

What a surprise.
