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.  |
Wouldn't all parties include the Taliban and the insurgence, since theye are a party in this fighting?
Or is there a peace thats going to be imposed in absentia?
