Sure, Blame the Taliban
ParliamentScramblesToMeetHillier'sDemands
The debate comes on the heels of a warning issued Friday by Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Rick Hillier, who urged Parliament to come to a quick decision on the country's role in Afghanistan.
Yeah. Don't even think about it. Just do what Hillier says. He's the Prime Minister General of Canada.
Hillier said the longer the Canadian Forces go without clarity about the mission, the more difficult it will be to protect the soldiers.
Tell them to stand still, then, so nobody gets killed in a vehicle rollover or by a roadside bomb, while Parliament debates the mission.
He said that if the Taliban sense weakness, they may try to take advantage of it and attack Canadian soldiers to prevent a cohesive mission.
Sure, blame the Taliban. What are they going to do? Write a letter to the editor complaining it's not their fault their spidey senses are always tingling?
