“Win”? What are you nuts? That would make a hero of “Bush”! Get real! But for those of us in the sober set, I can’t think of one single logical or sensible reason why we don’t already have a large fleet of our CF-18s in Afghanistan, bombing and killing terrorists and their caves and weapons stockpiles. Not one.
Yet the Conservative government is running away from even the suggestion.
I would send a fleet to Afghanistan at the request of NATO or my Generals, and while waiting for the request, update them with some 1980s-era retread tires and crank their engines and get them ready right now, today. I’d have the engines running. And I’d send another fleet to Iraq along with a thousand troops and advisors and trainers.
But then I’m on Canada’s side on the war on terror, so I don’t expect liberals to comprehend this kind of wacko-talk.
No plan to deploy jets in Afghanistan: O’Connor
CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA—Defence Minister Gordon O’Connor is pouring cold water on a published report that Ottawa is paving the way for deployment of CF-18 fighter jets to support Canadian troops in battling the Taliban in Afghanistan.O’Connor said he is not aware of any proposal to send the fighter jets.
“I think I can deny it because no one’s even brought it across my desk,” he told Ottawa radio station CFRA.
The defence minister’s comments come after a report Friday that documents it obtained show the federal government has quietly laid the groundwork to deploy CF-18s to support Canadian troops battling insurgents.
The little article further informs us:
If deployed, it’s likely the twin-engine jets would join U.S. and British fighters in attacking insurgent positions in southern Afghanistan.
Gee. That’s kind like that Iraq deal, huh? We don’t want to be like them Bush-luvin folks, so what an excellent idea to mention that in your li’l news story!
In actual fact, here’s a list of countries fighting the war on terror in Afghanistan that they didn’t have enough ink in their typewriters to mention:
Albania, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom, United States.
I highlighted some of the ones the liberal-left normally have a mental orgasm over being “peacekeepers” and “liberal”.
