CBC radio ran a piece on this as well. I heard that the women were allowed on the base in Kandahar so they could celebrate without fear of retribution.  It's shame - and a sham that the good news which is all to rare is so easy to overlook.  In Canada the CTV Globe empire seem to be the worst...

Takes me back to Infidel by Ayan Hirsi Ali. The book was an eye opener and I highly recomend it for back ground on all this.

Yea, Thanks a bunch Old Medic By the way, your off my easter card list.  ;) just kidding I don't send easter cards

I'm keeping my copy! Maybe we should all just buy second copy for schools and libraries.... ;)

Pencil Tech - I agree and concur. Though I am a small c conservative right down to my roots, I've had quite enough corporate sellout and benign neglect. I plan to vote liberal - Taft seems alright but I don't think he has the biological qualifications to win. Truth is I'm angry with what the...

Another small bit of news concerning Iran and it's internal stresses. National Post article link Shared with the usual disclaimers; Canada silent on 'death to heretics' Steven Edwards, National Post  Published: Friday, February 29, 2008 UNITED NATIONS -Canada has shown international...

I love reading news we can all be proud of...... :) Thanks.

Yeh, That moral upper hand can be a real burden.... >:D

The "target for terrorist" attacks is any western liberal democracy that offends the Islamist sense of "justice". Canada could never avoid being a target as we have long and deep historical and economic ties to the US and the UK. Even if they never attack Canada per se, an attack on our partners...

It's sad really. Most trolls at least put up a fight. What we have here is a pitiful antagonism that will convince or be respected by no one. I can't even get up any real indignation! I am proud though. ARMY.ca members have provided information and logic and more than a little patience. I wish...

What I find interesting about Jack is how convincing he sounds UNTILyou start letting the facts filter into the argument. He's not stupid or unaware of the nature of what he is saying. I suspect his stance on Afghanistan is more diversionary than real. You could say I'm accusing him of some...

No doubt but she seems to have the right credentials. Even if she makes the rest of us feel or look old. My family doctor was a small woman who looked like she was about 12. I never let her appearance confuse me though.

Aden, if you are hoping that we infer that Obama has found a copy of "the Evangelists Handbook"  I think you are on to something.  While he might be brilliant at campaigning it's fair to point out that  when the campaigns are over we have no idea what  we're in for. He might be a brilliant...

Hey Vern! You missed something! Afghans are free to go and fly a kite ( which was a crime under the Taliban ). I wonder if George likes kites? ;)

It's a small piece of news but there are some interesting aspects. If you check the link there is a picture KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - The woman recently appointed to direct civilian Canadian efforts in Kandahar province stepped into the spotlight for the first time Sunday, pledging to provide...

George! Two falsehoods in one sentence! Nice! Can you demonstrate how Canada is a more dangerous place? Can you demonstrate how being in Afghanistan makes any negative difference? Canada is in Afghanistan for CANADA. It's in Canada's national interest. Can you support your arguments with more...

I love their motto; "By Strength and Guile" ;D

That's what gives us all(me anyway ) fantom pains where our wisdom teeth used to be.  Obama might do something bold and heroic  ::) that screws up the whole effort. Democrats love to forget that GWB didn't start the war on terrorism, OBL did.

While I've heard that Raoul is a pragmatist, far more than Fidel and one might assume that a deal can be made (If Obama wins the presidency he just might) there no pressing need to.  Cuban expats see light at the end of the tunnel.  Perhaps there is another "revolution" brewing. After all that...

Taliban Jack polls evenly with the greens!  ;D And half of his own supporters don't support NDP line on Afghanistan!  :rofl: Thanks Mark - I needed that!
