I'm sorry that you're going to Afghanistan's hotspot Kandahar where our elite troops have been in the thick of it for six years---four killed in the last 10 days. It's tearing the heart out of me.
The Taliban announced yesterday they're targetting Canadians to influence the outcome of our current federal election campaign. Our conservative prime minister said yesterday we're out of combat there in 2011.
No one I've talked to believes him. The growing casualties and sacrifices are admittedly attributable to bifurcated NATO leadership, Brave men led by donkeys. My warmest wishes attend you, Brian.
