Typically Canadian but very apt. One point that has been pissing me off. I'm hearing whiny complaints by various people in the area about Canada's participation in the Iraqi War. Yes Canadian forces as a whole are not participating. However to set the record straight, there are 7 ships from the Canadian navy in the region (the Red Sea and the Gulf) participating in the anti-terrorism patrols - freeing up US navy assets btw. There is also another Canadian battalion is heading over to Afghanistan, while special operations units, such as the JTF2 are also working with US forces in that theater.
So do me a favour, cut the bs about Canada's non-participation. larry At 05:11 AM 4/2/2003 +0000, you wrote: >Cute.
