Geeze, don't stay up all night for this crap, particularly if you need to be alert today. We can sort each other out, we will agree on some issues and disagree on others. We are not on the same page, but that doesn't mean that the book is a bad read.

This is what you have replied too from madmax And you say this. Are we arguing over the echo or the bounce?

I have no information the Canadians are fighting near the oil pipelines or future pipelines. These pipelines have been in the works for over a decade, so I don't know if the routing has changed. Are you cracked? I wanted proof of this statement. I was heavily skeptical and will be until MikeDavid can provide the proof behind his statement. You wanna rant about Oil Cartels, and sh*T. Conspiracy theorists would have a heyday with you. Especially when you go and tie Oil Cartels to a very questionable statement of death benefits. We aren't in Afghanistan for Oil. Infact I would argue the US isn't in Afghanistan with strenght because it the pipeline itself isn't a big enough carrot, when the US defends its "Interests". Read "Taliban" by Ahmed Rashid. He stumbled into the Taliban and the US Government working on the pipeline deal by accident.

Essentially, the $750,000 is wishful thinking on MikeDavids part. Correct? I think it is wrong to give people the impression that Widows are receiving $750000, when their spouse is killed. Also, when I was enlisted, I didn't know crap about anything. Just the basics, acronyms which I remember by rhyme, and rhymes I can't use here Here is a sample of what is available. Don't ask me why b is a happy face above, something with the forum itself.

I understand your argument that we can't help the all. However, I do believe that Afghanistan, needs a commitment from the countries that brought this wicked Brand of Islam to the Afghans. That would be Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United States. They had no problem, pumping arms, money, and radical Islam to the Mujahideen, when they fought the Soviets. The commitment from the US while largest of NATO is not in proportion to the effort they put forth in the 80s. The Saudis, have gotten off Scott Free. They spent alot of time visiting the Taliban Government in the 90s. And the Pakistanis whom created the Taliban by putting orphans and religious students in these radical massadras, to create the perfect Islamic state and have a puppet on their border. Today the Pakistanis are doing exactly what the Taliban did. They are providing protection for the Pashtun/Taliban fighters this winter, so that they will be fresh to kill Canadians come Spring. While I don't want to digress, it can also be said, that there can be a separation between Pashtuns and hardcore Taliban, and Al Qaida supporters. The problem has been achieving this goal, and Pakistan is not helping it is the problem. Again another article about Pakistan. Only with lots of pressure applied by the US, does Mushareef do anything. Notice that Pakistan denies it is a haven for Al Qaida, then when Gates shows up they do a strike on Warizstan {sp}. It is all show, and not real commitment. They could close the Masadras. Pakistan ISI is the heavily HUMIT oriented, could inflitrate and close down these places proclaiming that we are EVIL Infidels that need to be fought and then send their students to join the jihad.

Let's look at some of those interpretations. Yup. its not kites, and radio under the Taliban It is Cable TV, Blasphemy, Singing on TV, (The Horror, The Horror) , and Legal Pedophillia, and don't dare question multiple wives. It's time to cut the Western BS about Democracy and Freedom, and leave them to their Islamic State, with Afghan critics, and Religious Police. All Canadian Forces can do is provide the security for the government.

And how long do you plan to stay?

Where did you get the $750,000 Lump Sum from?

I can't believe the CPC wanted this Turkey under any circumstance. He could have sat as an Independant, and "advised" the Harper government until the next election.

I am curious, how did you link the missile defence threads, and create a Link here? Private Mail me if need be. Thanks.

Yes, I heard about that! War of 1812 Later settled with the FTA. Doesn't allow the flow of Labour though, sorry immigrants. Whereever you won't? That said, I have a different question. Would you give up your citizenship if you were successful in emmigrating to the US?

We all "purchase" Health Care. This person is not known to be paying into the system, and as far as the article is concerned, is not a Canadian Citizen. This person would not be jumping the queue as the Queu is based on need. And I don't know how you think the system works, but when my American and Australian Racer friends come here and get busted up, they leave with a very heavy bill, some close to $80,000. The Australian had no coverage here while racing for a factory team, and we raised some of the money to ease the pain, and his career is finished, and he is probably still paying.

No we can't. Nor are Canadians Heartless souls. Clearly their is nothing to stop people from raising the funds on their own and the media can encourage it. It doesn't have to be the burden of government, or bending the rules. The doctors could do it pro bono, and then when she is healthy, deport her back to St. Lucia. Which is a very nice place.

Much as I hate to do this. I did yank that post out of the blue, without looking any deeper. I did some other research on it, and while there are serious problems in the area, and the event occurred, it is very hard to find other sound sources backing up the "Christian" nature of the attack. Yeah, I am aware of Indian and Pakistani articles. So, until further notice, I am withdrawing the above article as "not Proven". And will edit it from the thread. Back to the facts. Jesus can rest a bit with his Christian Flock , but there is still some killing he needs to trouble over. And thats the fact Jack.

Where did you get the $750,000 Lump Sum from?

Great Idea, the state will be broke in 9 months. And still the women that cannot go to term will have an abortion Dr. Mike. I do want to state that the Christian Heritage Party does suggest $10,000 a year, The Christian Heritage Party also is the ONLY party that is against abortion.

Very well said. Those are worthy goals for our country.

"infinitely" better. I think not. In fact the mere fact that people are questioning the new government and it's promises, particularly the security from various factions. If it was "INFINITELY better, we wouldn't even be having a discussion. I think I could have read this same quote, back in December 2001. 5 years earlier.

For anyone challenging this, I would like to add my 2 cents. This is very accurate. Afghans are Muslim (yes a few exceptions), so it isn't of importance until dealing with "Infidels". The "Infidels" currently are only a problem to the "Taliban". When dealing with day to day Afghan Activities, it is a good rule of thumb. After Family, Tribe/Clan, then comes whom the Clan is supporting, or just as important. Who is supporting the Clan.

Yes, with polling numbers of 40% the party garnerned this many votes.

Yes, American Protectionism will always be #1 in the minds of all elected officials. What Canada can look forward to is winning more in NAFTA and WTO rulings only to cave in under the pressure. Canada's Federal Government proven itself weak in this regards.

That is sometime away and lots can happen. As you know I have many reservations about the Afghan mission, that's for another thread...and I don't believe that claiming to leave Afghanistan will get them a single seat in Alberta. Yes I do, A CPC member can take his seat for granted, with no threat from Liberals. However any seat taken for granted runs the risk of another Conservative challenging for the seat, or possibly as some one else mentioned above, if the neglect or for Grantedness is extreme, the creation of another party.

Bingo.

Well, here is a relatively current one. Jesus would not be impressed. Non proven article removed MADMAX
