Obama can get bent.

But Jones admitted he would have preferred that Canada and other NATO allies hadn't announced a firm withdrawal date from the war-torn country.

I definately don't like the fact that we're leaving before the job is done but the US, and Obama, has a hell of a lot more obligation to see this through to the end. NATO has been proven disfuctional, and that's not the US's fault but They have 3/4 of the fighting folks in country so they do have a lot of pull.

I personally want to see Canadian forces keep on with their training and peacemaking roles because I believe we have a unique and talented blend of the skills nessesary to fight a foreign insurgency. The problem is every death, reguardless of circumstances, will be thrown in the face of the Canadian government for crass political hay.
