While I despised Cretien and his lack of support in Iraw, the Canadian military seems to be doing the job well. Thanks to the Canadian military!

Thanks to the Canadian military!

Damn right. Chretien was a wretched POS and the Canadian military always knew it. Believe me, they're glad he's gone.

Canada has a frigate????????????

[satchmodog9]

Canada has a navy?????????Hah

[Ronin]

Wow! Who knew?

Get rid of all the French speaking Canuks and about 50% of the remaining easteners and Canada could once again become the great country it once was. Unfortunatley, Canada has the lunatics running the asylum and is no longer worthy of our friendship. Until Canada addresses their love of homosexuality, drug abuse and granting citizenship to terrorists, I will have nothing to do with them, nor will I knowingly buy their products.

The Canadian military gets in on more of the the action. Having served with the good men and women of the Canadian military, I know they appreciate the opportunity to ply their trade. God bless and keep them safe.

How nice of Canada to jump right in after all the heavy lifting was done by the Brits, Americans and Polish.

Where were you Canadians when we really needed you, hmmmmm?

This deployment is latest of several deployments.

Canadian frigates and destroyers have all along been escorting US CVs and participating in interdiction patrols in the Gulf.

In fact, at one point, the interdiction patrols were under the command of a Canadian flag officer.

Iraq is not the only theatre in the War on Terror.

where were you in 1939 when Poland was invaded?

I take it you don't put gas in your car or need to heat your house?

I don't believe we "needed" anybody other than our own military to take Iraq.

If you going to be upset with Canada, be mad at their former prime minister/buffoon Chretien and his Liberal lackeys.

"...If you going to be upset with Canada, be mad at their former prime minister/buffoon Chretien and his Liberal lackeys.

And who, pray tell, elected them?

I suppose it was those devious Americans who infiltrated the country and voted those socialists in.

"...where were you in 1939 when Poland was invaded?"

Personally, I wasn't born yet and, in 1939, Canada was under the Dominian of the British Empire, not an independent country, otherwise she probably would have shown her true colors and avoided the war.

If this worrys any terrorist, his own guys should shoot him... or use him for target prastise..

[Polybius]

where were you in 1939 when Poland was invaded?

In 1939, Great Britain and Canada fought to save Western Civilization while the United States stuck it's isolationist head in the sand and condescendingly sneered about you war mongers.

Now, the U.S. and Canada have traded places.
