Possibly I'm more sensitive to this stuff than I used to be because my cousin was deployed to Afghanistan recently after reaching what must be the highest level of training in the Army (the kind where you have to learn Urdu and get through SERE training before you are deployed)... what the heck are we still doing over there if nobody wants us? Could we not speed up the timeline?

I hear ya. Not sure what's left to accomplish that drones can't do for us anymore in that country. Although I'll of course defer to the experts on this one, I just think having a fighting force over there isn't going to improve things beyond what's already in place. At some point these countries have to start taking care of themselves.

This is not Canada's finest hour. :mad: Of course, O-bonehead's administration is just as much to blame for its role in dumping Kadr.

To make it worse, this raghead A-hole can apply for parole next year!

After a slew of court challenges demanding his homecoming and a decade in Guantanamo Bay, convicted terrorist Omar Khadr is back in Canada.

Khadr landed at CFB Trenton military base Saturday morning after being transported from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, aboard a U.S. government plane and was then brought to Millhaven maximum-security prison in Bath, Ont.

In a hastily organized news conference in Winnipeg, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said Khadr is now in the hands of Canada's correctional services, which he is satisfied it can “administer Omar Khadr's sentence in a manner which recognizes the serious nature of the crimes that he has committed and ensure the safety of Canadians is protected during incarceration.”

The 26-year-old Toronto-native struck a plea deal in 2010 that saw him sentenced to eight years in prison for five war crimes, including killing U.S. special forces medic Christopher Speer 10 years ago in an Afghan firefight.

He was captured in 2002 when he was 15.

I knew a Navy guy who had been sent to the Presidio to learn Polish. And despite Jane's, which listed his vessel as a spy ship, this guy unconvincingly insisted it was an "oiler."

The libtards back home pushed to have this unrepentant terrorist brought back "home". His family are all AQ sympathizers and hate the West

Have him go on Coaches Corner when (if) the NHL season resumes.

My brother in law "fixed computers" in the army. Funny how those computers were always at bases along the edge of the Iron Curtain :D

The guy was assigned to the Far East Network in Tokyo (50KW signal in the world's biggest city? Massive audience) and we both agreed that was better duty than bobbing around in the North Sea on an "oiler."

How to be taken seriously, link a website with the title "The Truth on the Encroachment of Global Islamism". Which a brief glance at the main pages shows that they fap to Pamela Geller, a woman who was adored by Anders Breivik, and actually tried to justify his murder spree. Support the EDL, a right wing hate group in England.

And I couldn't keep going because I had to go throw up when I realized the conservative horror I had been exposed to.

Meanwhile - a different war... Send him a note -- he's just entered hospice care just outside of Ft. Benning.

What is up with knuckledraggers siting links to ever more obscure web-sites nowadays? Is Fox News not provocative enough for you, or have they thrown in the towel with the inevitable Obama re-election?

When Fox Snooze isn't used, there's a slight chance a libstain might actually read it. Perhaps, to be truly effective, knuckledraggers should figure out how to spoof "huffingtonpost". :D
