Canada's prime minister unveiled a proposal on Thursday to withdraw his country's forces from volatile southern Afghanistan in 2011, a move that largely accedes to opposition demands amid threats of an early election.
Stephen Harper's minority Conservative government is trying to extend past February 2009 the military operation in Kandahar province, a region that was once the Taliban's stronghold.
"It seems clear that we have moved significantly toward the kind of bipartisan consensus that can be presented to Parliament for ratification," Harper said.
Harper's government has been under growing pressure to withdraw Canada's troops as the death toll increases, now at 78 soldiers and a diplomat.
79 people dead and the Liberal Party (why am I not surprised), of Canada wants to withdraw from Afghanistan?? This is the war that everyone supports. This is the one against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Yet, with a mere 79 people dead, the Liberal Party in Canada wants to withdraw?
What kind of cowardly bullshit is that?
Well, I guess next time that the Liberal Party of Canada needs help from the US, we should tell them "No".
I expected better from you guys. Even liberals here in America want to keep after Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. They at least have that much of a backbone.
