Jack Layton, leader of the NDP, has long held the position that Canada ought to abandon Afghanistan. Until now, the reasoning has been vague. Basically, it was that it was not pleasant to shoot guns and that people would not like Canadians as much as before when Canada's foreign policy consisted entirely of voting for whatever annoyed the Americans the most at the United Nations.
But now, Jack Layton has come out clearly. Canada should not be in Afghanistan because the Taliban are invincible and Canadian troops are not up to the task. Best that they sat in their barracks, never seen by Afghans or Canadians alike.
It's too bad that this position is at odds with that of the United Nations. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon lists an impressive number of military and civilian successes achieved by Canada and other nations doing the dangerous work in Afghanistan.
Jack Layton and the NDP wanting to abandon the United Nations. It's just so odd.

it just makes me laugh so hard to see you spout this nonsense.
It makes you look even more like a moron.
Do you ever actually write out your opinions? Or do you just cut and paste?
I suppose one could say at least the people you cut and paste take the time to write a paragraph or two expressing your opinion.
You, are kinda like that little yappy dog, you know on that looney tunes cartoon where it runs around the big dog?
Right.
oops I mean left. Sorry.
