Tomorrow is 9-11
Tomorrow is a day of great significance.
I've been thinking of a way that would appropriately commemorate this day.
The only way I can think of is to remember those that have given their lives to fight those that would perpetrate an act like the one that happened nine years ago.
On November 11 we remember those that gave their lives to protect our freedom.
On September 11 we realize what happens when we forget.
Here's to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
...oh yeah and anything else that drives the "pretend muslim" terrorists nuts.

Of detainee's and terrorist enablers
The contention is that the government is covering that detainees are being tortured once they are handed over to the Afghan forces.
Nobody seems to want to even allude to the circumstances under which these "detainees" came under the control of Canadian forces in the first place.
No the point that is being stressed is that something bad happened and it was because of the current government.
Did the government torture these detainees? Answer, no.
Did the CAF part take in torturing these detainees? Again no.
Did the Canadian government request the detainees be tortured? Three times no.
So why is the government being accused of cover up?
Because the opposition wants to have a scandal to beat the current government with,, nothing more, nothing less.
Because if we really want to dig into this "issue" we shouldn't just look at the time between 2006 - 2007, we need to look into this from the outset of the mission and if any thing changed up to the current day.
Of course then we can call former defence ministers and former prime ministers before the committee to testify about what they knew or should have known.
And we know how well Paul Martin handles being in front of an inquiry judge.
My point is that if the liberals are so sure of a cover up over possible torture, then its possible they knew about it because they where the ones ordering the CAF and the diplomats to keep quite about it well before 2006.
Because this is all about what possibly happened.
To close.
The term detainee sounds pretty mundane and frankly its inaccurate when you consider the individuals the Army captured and under what circumstances. They didn't find these guys by happenstance, they where caught trying to kill coalition forces, you know, the enemy.
That would be the folks that go around torturing their victims without the constraints of the Geneva Convention. The folks that will kidnap and kill their victims, usually videoed and used to intimidate afghans into submission. These are the people the liberals want to protect from torture.
Frankly, if these guys may have been tortured, I have a hard time feeling sorry for them, sort of the same way I feel sorry for any other terrorist that gets caught in the act.
This is all subjective of course, because the whole argument is based on possible torture of the bad guys at the hands of Afghanis that have suffered torture at the hands of these same detainees....remember, subjective opinion.

Question for those opposed to the war in Afghanistan
I've heard many use the term "I support the troops but not the mission" most notably those that inhabit the liberal and ndp ranks and their inherent entourage.
But I have a question....and if you're a candidate in the next election you best be prepared to answer it.....if DND said they needed more equipment to fight the war in Afghanistan, would you as an MP support the troops then or will you maintain your non-supporting role of the mission and refuse their request by voting against any such budgetary expense?
You know, support the troops and support the mission?
Here's another.
If you want our troops to only be engaged in so-called peacekeeping, does that mean if they get attacked while on said "mission" will they be allowed to fight, or do you insist they defend themselves with a tersely worded memo released by the UN general assembly? If you have trouble with that one ask Romeo Dallaire how effectively that would have worked in Rawanda.
Lastly.
I've heard some nonsense about negotiating with the Taliban. Please explain what you plan to offer to the Taliban, an orgnaization which has clearly demonstrated it has no intention of negotiating in good faith?

Some overdue payback
Developing
- There is suppose to be some agreement in the works between Pakistan and NATO to give the go allow NATO to come into Pakistan.
- Musarif (sp?) has some cornered in the Red Mosque and he's given them the ultimatum.
- The bad guys have resorted to using bigger boomers, are they getting desperate?
- Harper is setting up the opposition on the Afghan mission, I suspect this one is going to split the liberal party for good.
Sounds to me like the end is near for Timmy Taliban.

A thought about jack asses
Two facts about those who use Islam as a cover for terrorism.
1 - They have not and will not be bound by the rules, Geneva convention et al. So don't start with the whining about the Geneva convention being violated.
.2 - They hate us and they want to erradicate us (read genocide against anyone that does not measure up to their standard of a so-called pure follower of Islam). So enough of calling them insurgents, or attaching "Islamic" or "muslim" to their moniker. They are bastardizing a faith for personal gain.
We take the fight to them because to not do so allows them to plot and plan at their leisure.
But I digress.
If we want to really end this, its time we stopped holding our position in Afghanistan and ventured into Pakistan when the Taliban does its fall retreat to rearm and regroup.
You can bet dollars to donuts that Musharif would grow a set if he was confident that NATO forces where going to be keeping the terrorists so busy in the mountains that they don't have the time or resources to cause trouble for him.
