Canadian War Crimes?

Thanks to Fred Fry in the comments, we get this gem of an article from Canada's Globe and Mail. It's worth reading the whole thing.

Like Fred posted, this excerpt is particularly interesting:

"If we attack the Canadians, they call for aircraft and bomb everything in the area. The U.S. only tried to kill the Taliban. The Canadians try to kill everybody."

Here's what I see. I see a group of savvy media manipulators trying to get out the message that Canadian troops are even worse than American troops.

I see an attempt to shock what they obviously view as a far more compliant population of media watchers into erupting into protest. I also see an attempt to replicate in Canada what we will soon see here. Hearings, subpoenas, and a general bogging down of the war effort.

I also see desperation. Unlike Iraq, Afghanistan is pretty much off the political radar in the U.S. The Pelosis and Murthas aren't calling for withdrawal from Afghanistan.

So all these losers have left is trying to convince the populations of our NATO allies that they, like us barbaric Americans, are nothing more than blood soaked oppressive butchers. A lame attempt to replicate the propaganda from Iraq.

Sorry, chums. Canada is even more hard to rouse from slumber than we are, but when we get together in a war, you're screwed.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that there's far more Canadians taking pride that their boys are bombing you into the Stone Age than not.
