Last August YOU published this INTEL CORRECT? http://baconfat53.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-does-amerika-truther-movment-god.html What does Amerika, the "Truther" movment, "God" and retards have to do with Canada We do not have to worry about comment from Little Dean and Dave...they are to uneducated to understand most posts So have you seen them, been annoyed or insulted by them, have you smelled their disease? Have you ever crossed the "medicine line" and seen some Yank being taken into custody because he just has..."this constitutional right to bear arms"...in Canada. I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends" demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American "veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying into the US policy. At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there were deployed WMD. Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation (and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy. There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary to the lessons of Vietnam but also to the military thought, that folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others illucidated upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of Canadian involment in an Iraq operation....History would prove them correct. The political preesure being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush administration was onerus American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian military assets even moreso It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantene operations in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi operation.... The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian lives and liberal political capitial.. and the priority of which ....not neccessarily in that order. Essentially Canada detemined to stay out of Iraq, paid the price, of a larger role in Afghanistan to enable US military assets to redeploy to Iraq. The US op in Afghanistan evolved from a US op, to a UN op, to a NATO / ISAF op. NATO countries other than Canada and the UK shun combat operations in Afghanistan..their rules of deployment and engagement mitigate against NATO troops engaging the Taliban. By design I am quite sure. But now the American Iraq op, is a great success. The "surge" worked. But alas now 127 Canadian soldiers are dead. The 2011 deadline is coming nigh....and President Barak Obama and NATO want Canada to consider extending the deployment of Canadian troops. The motives are different. The US wants to... needs to, as matter of national security, to defeat insurgency in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Our European allies want Canada to remain and continue to "punch above its weight" so European soldiers do not have to actually fight or die. That begs a few questions: "Nations do not have friends, nations have interests" -Henry Kissinger. etc etc etc
