...being a "peace enforcement mission" last spring?
Is it just me or is there something wrong when we need to deploy heavy armour as part of a mission that is supposed to be about peacekeeping?
When HarperCrit rammed his little "extension" of the mission through Parliament this spring, we were only just starting to see the degree of chaos that is Afghanistan. No doubt, he had in mind an escalation of Canada's involvement in Shrub's little "War on Terror" at the time, and like the dishonest liar that he is, kept his mouth shut.
Just for fun, I see that Boeing is already bragging about being awarded some $8 billion of the government's procurement contracts for aircraft. (I'd love to see the bid process for _that_ contract) Remember, the government took these purchase contracts off the "open tender" system in June/July, not long after rumours started to swirl about the US "letting us have" a few of their C-17 class production run currently in progress to speed up the acquisition cycle.
So, what else is HarperCrit going to unveil in the coming weeks and months that he hasn't admitted to?
- Remember, this is coming from a party that ran on a platform of "open, accountable government".
