Due to Liberal neglect and disdain for the Canadian Armed Forces, Canada is now unable to provide air-cover for its ground soldiers in Afghanistan.
Accordingly, Canada must rely on American fighter-bombers for support during ground operations in the war-torn but recovering nation.
Despite the Liberals wrapping themselves in the flag, their actions to cut defence funding has taken an undesired effect on Canadian sovereignty as a result of its inadequate air-war capabilities.
For all the Liberal's anti-Americanism, they sure have no problem calling Uncle Sam for help when they need it.
As John Manley said years ago, Liberals frequently order a big dinner at international tables and then get up to leave when the bill comes.

Reminds me of the search & resuce craft the Canadians spent millions on, intended for catastrophe's like the Asian Tsunami. Had to remain grounded b/c no one thought to include airlift capabilities. Short-sighted touchy feel-good waste.
This is a good line...
"Liberals frequently order a big dinner at international tables and then get up to leave when the bill comes."
Yup. Just like the Tsunami aid - the Left complained about US being "stingy", but all those countries that promised "big" donations never came through.
That's correct. The US was the first in and helped the most, and what does America get for it? The worlds hatred. It truly is sickening. No good deed goes unpunished.
