Also, the laughable conduct of most of the European countries over there not willing to shoulder at least part of the burden makes me quite sick and is the singular reason why I think we should leave.
If the cons want to run on a stay in Afghan platform (too risky IMO) they should make some hockey reference like "Canadians dont shy away from the corners and cherry pick like some" (polite for saying, we arent gutless Euros). Damn that was good. I should quit my moderatley paying job as an IT backup admin and go work for some Right Wing think tank  - on second thought nah, too much travel east of Alberta and on the wrong side of the 49th.

I always thought the term "right wing think tank" was an oxymoron?
(It is a good line that you wrote there, though...no question about that!)
