Canada's government is in a failed state
"When the Allcons and the Libcons are pulling together you know they're cut from the same smelly rag."
Stephen Harper.
No Choice But An Election Now
"Your “major” press and media are telling you Canada is swinging from the chandeliers economically.
Everything is good. It isn’t.
Stephen Harper knows that.
His fundamentalist bosses in Washington have called in the soothsayers.
They have cut open crows and studied their innards.
They have cast horoscopes.
They have read the Tarot cards.
They have prayed at the tomb of Ronald Reagan."
Canada’s secret war in Iraq
"Most Canadians still proudly believe that their government refused to join the Iraq War.
Nothing could be further from the truth."
Canadian General Takes Senior Command Role in Iraq
"Despite the government's official position abstaining from combat in Iraq, Canada has dispatched yet another top general to the command group overseeing day-to-day operations for the U.S.-led occupation and counterinsurgency war."
Afghanistan: The Other "War for a Lie"
Europeans see what America cannot
"In fact, it's becoming evident that the cash-strapped U.S. needs the EU more than the EU needs the U.S.
If impassioned claims by U.S. and Canadian politicians that the little Afghanistan war must by won at all costs, then why don't they stop orating, impose conscription, and send 400,000 soldiers, including their own sons, to fight in Afghanistan?
Of course they won't.
They prefer to waste their own soldiers, and grind up Afghanistan, rather than admit this war against 40 million Pashtun tribesmen was a terrible mistake that will only get worse."
Ottawa Gets Advice On Prolonging The Afghanistan War
"The furore over the Manley report can only increase the number of Canadians who question the war’s aims and rationale.
Many more can be won to the view that the only principled and humanitarian end to the carnage is withdrawal of foreign occupation forces and recognition of the right of the Afghan people to freely determine their political future."
Murdering people from a distance in Iraq and Afghanistan
"Inside a secret high-tech control center the U.S. Air Force targets enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But can they bomb them legally, and without killing innocents?"
NATO Genocide in Afghanistan
"NATO combat troops bombard and kill people in Taliban enclaves and meeting places.
They also murder defenseless Afghan civilians.
The dehumanized label of "Taliban" is used to cloak the nameless victims of NATO operations.
Some political opposition to this practice is building in NATO countries, such as Canada, where calls are heard to withdraw troops from Afghanistan or divert them to non-combat tasks."
Top US Lawyer And UNICEF Data Reveal Afghan Genocide
"The 0.5 million global US-NATO-linked opiate drug-related deaths plus 6.6 million post-invasion Afghan excess deaths bring an upper estimate of the carnage due to the US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan to 7.1 million deaths."
United States Air Force serving Afghani drug dealers
"Sources point out that interests of the Western military involved in trafficking out of Afghanistan
(usually by US military aviation) coincide with interests of Afghani chieftains who control poppy fields.
Afghani officials say that 85% of all drugs produced in southern and southeastern provinces are shipped abroad by US aviation."
‘Narco-renditions’ in Afghanistan
Trading with the Enemy
"While the international human rights organizations focused on the investigation of alleged CIA kidnapping and torture of al-Qaeda suspects and prisoners, they never paid any attention to a fair possibility that the infamous, secret and uncontrolled CIA “rendition flights” could be used to smuggle heroin from Afghanistan to Europe.
This is only an allegation, but perhaps some institutions of the European Union (EU) should pay serious attention to this other possible dark side of the CIA “renditions”.
On the Afghani side, it seems that the whole pro-Western administration of President Hamid Karzai, and also his two brothers, Kajum Karzai and Akhmed Vali Karzai, are head-to-heels involved in the narcotics trade."
No Peace to keep
Keep Pearson out of it
"After invading Afghanistan and toppling the government, Washington won UN authorization for the new government it installed, and for its ongoing intervention through NATO.
As a result, the U.S. presence in Afghanistan – like the one in Iraq – now has "a veneer of UN authority...
In addition to NATO forces in Afghanistan, there are another 13,000 U.S. troops under direct U.S. command.
This means that all troops serving in Afghanistan are ultimately under commander-in-chief George W. Bush, whose shadow looms large over the country."
"LEADER" SAYS
WAR FOR EMPIRE FOREVER
Piling on the years...
Tories won't promise Afghan combat role would end in "2011?"
"The Conservative government has refused to say whether Canadian troops will be pulled out of combat in Afghanistan in 2011 if Parliament votes to let their mission run until then."

Canada to pay danger premium to public servants in Afghanistan
"It is the first time Canada offers danger pay to its federal public servants in a war zone.
"The current challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified employees is particularly felt in areas where employees are confronted by a high level of risk and hardship," said Bujold.
"This incentive will support Canada's objectives in Afghanistan while these conditions persist."
Got your reality right here, MacKay.
The four French options.
"How long does MacKay think he can keep feeding a volunteer force into a war without end?"
Enter, le goof...
