Canada and Turkey.....huh?
« on: March 17, 2003, 02:21:31 PM »
Alright, let me see if I've gotten this right.

Turkey, realizing we are going to war, is launching an emergency session of paliament to get approval for the US to launch attacks from Turkey. Nice.

Canada refuses to commit troops to the cause of liberating Iraq.

Huh?

Alright, I guess either we have a better relationship with Turkey than we do with our neighbor to the North....or they just really need the money.

Canada has nothing to lose by not commiting troops.

Turkey stands to gain.

 It has nothing to do with friendship.

Canadians need a 6 month notice before committing troops that far away.  It's a long swim.

Canada will be pulling her share of the load. already has, will continue to do so. I've seen no indication they intened to discontinue their support efforts.. which are not inconsiderable.

their nutbbag politicians notwithstanding, I'm glad they are our neighbors.

Aren't the Canadians still busy in Afghanistan?
Aren't they busy with NORAD responsibilities?
They don't have enough troops or budget to be everywhere.
Dollars to donuts they will end up helping in Iraq during the occupation.

 Not everybody!

 Come on guys let's not forget how they helped us in Afganistan!  There would be a LOT more dead Americans if it were not for the excellent Canadian snipers.  They stand by us most of the time.  It would be nice to have them with us now, but I can understand why they are not. AND they haven't stabbed us in the back in the proccess, unlike another country I can think of.


 S! Canada,  I wish we could sit this one out too, but it has to be done...

Canada actually is our friend. They don't have to fight all of the wars with us, they do tend to fight with us on the very important ones though.

Really don't care who fights with us as long as they don't try to get in the way.
