| A hypothetical situation - imagine the following for a second:April 19, 1940. Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister MacKenzie-King introduced a motion that would set a deadline for removing Canadian troops from Europe by February, 1942. Citing the need for 'direction' in our fight against the oppressive enemy, MacKenzie-King also called for less direct military involvement by Canadian forces, and an immediate increase in the area of 'rebuilding' and 'reconstruction' - once things stop getting blown up, of course.Of course, this never happened. Our troops fought on, focused on winning today's battle and living to fight tomorrow. They didn't worry about defeating the enemy before the due date on the war expired. Stephane Dion, with his call for the official 'withdrawal with honour' (explain that one to me) of Canadian troops from Afghanistan before 2009 isn't bad politics or misguided policy - it's evidence that Mr. Dion is fucking nuts. Loopy. Squirrel bait. The Li |
