Manley Report: No Surprises

It looks like Stephen Harper got exactly what he wanted out of John Manley's report on the situation in Afghanistan. It will play well with hawkish Conservatives while putting the squeeze on a divided Liberal caucus. The Liberals have no idea what to do... it was quite humorous watching both Bob Rae and Stephane Dion on television yesterday going on and on about nothing, refusing to take a position on the report. The NDP deserves credit for its clear and consistent position - a position shared by a majority of Canadian: Pull the troops now!

No surprises here what so ever. This was a hung jury from the get go. And I don't think anybody is going to be fooled by this. Let's keep up the pressure. Troops Out Now!

damn socialist traitor, don't you support the troops? We have to keep the troops in there to finish their job, that's called supporting the troops.

Why do you hate Canada so much?

Manley yes, but I like it too

The Report of the Independent Panel on Canada’s Future Role in Afghanistan is a triumph. It is a Triumph of the Will of the New Canadian government.

But more importantly, it is a Triumph of the Spirit of Canadian bi-partisanship - a Liberal and Conservatives coming together to defeat a common enemy in time of war.

Not the Taliban but another fanatical cult that is a greater threat to the Canadian military -- the pacifist cabal of Liberal leader Quasimodo, Bloc Cheesehead and the Moustache that Roared. When will these fanatics wake up to the fact that sometimes you just have to kill poor people to help them, it's the only humane thing to do.

Did I just get called a "socialist traitor?" Sweet. Add that to the resume.
