Libs & Tories Back Afghanistan Extension

"Our troops should never be used as props in our domestic political landscape"

- Liberal leader, Stephane Dion

Right you are, Stephane. We should only use them as props for the international political landscape and, of course, for dodging unwanted elections.

With that pronouncement, Stephane Dion acknowledged that his opposition and Stephen Harper's government are snugly in the same olive-drab sleeping bag on the Afghanistan mission extension. Needless to say, the remainder of the "debate" on Afghanistan will be a real yawner with the truly relevant questions neither asked nor answered.
