It has reached the point where the fantasy statements from this Government has to stop inasmuch that they must realise that this is a war and not a skirmish.
Two questions for thought :-
Why did the Russians pull out ?The Canadian Government voted to pull out their troops by 2014 ? When you have corruption all the way down the line as they have, how can you possibly win :?: :?:

Sadly we're in a no-win situation.

Did you watch the memorial service from the Cenotaph yesterday???? God Bless all our troops around the world and may they come home safely to their families.
