Harper can go to Hell
Advertisements [?]
For that last week he has been telling Canadians that they need to "support the troops" (translation: you're not supporting them now).
And he's used the term "cut and run" multiple times.

The former he's spouting because a small majority of Canadians in a Feb. poll were against an Afghan deployment. The latter he's spouting because MP's are calling for a debate, and a SMALL number of them are calling for a vote.

Someone tell him that questioning the mission DOES NOT mean you're not supporting the troops.
And while they're at it they can tell him that a debate does not equal "cut and run".


I want to know 2 things, and a Parliamentary debate would likely answer them for me:

1. Who decides when our troops go on terrorist search and destroy missions?

and most important...

2. What happens to detainees? Are they ever turned over to the Americans and if so what assurances do we have of thier treatment?

That's what "supporting the troops" is Harper you slimeball, it's not using them as a backdrop for the bully pulpit you make political attacks from.
