Opposition Members Made To Look Idiotic!

Colvin appears for his testimony with a lawyer to guide him. Our proud military Generals appear with facts and an unwavering conviction that they did everything right. Colvin might have gone outside the Kandahar gates once or twice, with FULL military support. The Generals were on the ground, with the troops on hundreds of occasions.

The opposition is worried about Taliban prisoners, how about they worry about what the Taliban did to their own people, especially women?



The Generals were worried about our troops on the ground. Those troops are risking their lives to protect Afghans from the Taliban.



In 2006 our troops were too busy trying to stay alive to care what happened to the people shooting to kill them. They still treated all prisoners with respect.

Our opposition parties look like they are in support of the Taliban with their little torture committee. It might play to the extreme lefties, but it makes most Canadians sick. The Taliban are despicable, and if you want to see torture, try googling taliban beheading. I am not recommending that anyone click on any of those links, I didn't, I don't have to actually see it to know it happens. Still, maybe someone should make our MP's watch some of those videos so they can get their heads straight, the Taliban are the enemy, not our troops.

General Hillier's testimony should have been embarrassing for the opposition, who mouthed, the required "we respect the troops" and went on to accuse the Generals and our troops of wrong doing. To see the whole thing, click here, it's worth watching.

The opposition have called the Generals liars and they responded back with facts. I would like to know which opposition MP called our Generals liars, because the Generals should sue them. So, who was it? Which MP called Hillier a liar outside of the protection of Parliament? Just because they are MP's should not give them the right to destroy a person's reputation for partisan reasons.

Preventing Ambassador Mulroney from testifying, is just playing political games. The opposition only want one side of the story presented. Do they understand that real lives are at stake in war? The lives of our troops are way more important than any "supposed" torture of the Taliban prisoners by Afghans. The Generals made that perfectly clear today.

Quit it, you are making yourselves look like idiots.

Liberalism, An Idea Gone Bad.

From Dion's wife slagging the Liberals, to global warming emails exposing global warming supporters for what they really are, frauds, the lefties are taking hit after hit.

Now Liberals are trying to out special interest group the Conservatives.

Tory MP apologizes for erroneous flyer

Good for him, but has the Toronto Liberal Star mentioned any of these Liberal 10 percenters that need to be apologized for? The Liberal 10 percenters are way more offensive than anything the Conservatives have done, but you won't hear that from the lame stream media.







More here.

So the latest is all about those prisoners being turned over to Afghanistan jails and maybe being tortured. (Didn't we do this like 2 years ago?) The lefties really think they are on to something here, but as per usual, they have no clue what the Timmies crowd is thinking. Most of us are thinking....who really cares?

Here is an interesting insight into the opposition. They are shouting about Colvin (a bureaucrat), and torture...not even alleged torture, but they refuse to listen to an Ambassador.

NDP, Libs, BQ say no Mulroney testimony on Afghan detainees without documents

After hearing his "professionalism" questioned by former subordinate Richard Colvin last week, David Mulroney sent a letter to the House of Commons Special Committee on the Mission in Afghanistan offering to testify to "set the record straight." That's no light offer from Mulroney as his current job is Ambassador to China. Mulroney, in fact, was en route, my sources tell me, from Beijing to Ottawa late Monday night in expectation that he would get a chance to testify on Thursday.

Not so fast.

Opposition MPs tabled a notice of motion late tonight that will get voted on when the Committee meets Wednesday (a meeting at which they'll hear testimony from Gen. Rick Hillier and others). The motion is from NDP MP Paul Dewar but I'm told the Liberals were ready to table one that was mighty similar and, basically, it tells the government that Mulroney ain't testifying until the committee gets a pile of documents that they've been asking for for ages.

So, it's NOT about torture, it's all about political jockeying. The opposition MP's are showing their agenda, they only want to listen to people supporting lefties. They do not care about the truth, the truth is inconvenient, just like the fact that global warming is not occurring.

I find their behaviour despicable. It just makes the Timmies crowd mad, and more intent on electing a Conservative majority next election. These juvenile games must stop, and the only way to stop them is with a Conservative majority. Majority is not a bad word anymore, and if Quebec doesn't understand what side their bread is buttered on, too bad.

Liberalism, an idea gone bad. Send the lefties a message. They are the dinosaurs not the Conservatives.

Smear The Conservative Bully Boys!

This article by Weston is a typical smear the Conservatives article. Weston has his opinion, here is my response.

Conservative bully-boys put the boots to Colvin over his Afghanistan bombshell

If you believe Stephen Harper's bully boys putting the boots to Colvin this past week, the former top political attache in Afghanistan and now deputy intelligence chief in Washington has no credibility. Who's telling the truth? You be the judge.

In April 2006, Colvin began a 17-month posting in Afghanistan as political director and deputy ambassador, one of only two officials there with access to the Canadian government's hyper-secure "C4" communications network.

So, Colvin began a 17 month posting in April of 2006. The Conservatives won the election in January. The Liberals signed the original prisoner agreement, they are the ones responsible for the prisoner transfer rules. Is Colvin telling us the Liberals did nothing about the prisoners? Weston doesn't mention the Liberals and their Taliban prisoners. Funny that. Weston is a sad little supposed reporter, not of the news, but of Liberal issues that need propping up.

More likely, the Harper government was just trying to cover up the whole thing -- sacrificing Canadian lives to bring torture to Afghanistan isn't exactly the stuff to inspire public support. Indeed, Colvin claims various superiors in Ottawa tried to get him to drop the detainee issue, but he persisted.

You sad little Liberal toady.... Sacrificing Canadian lives? It was Chretien who sent our troops into battle in green fatigues. It was the Liberals who set up the transfer arrangement. It was Liberals who refused to fund our military so that they could only die for our country.

A month after he arrived, Colvin issued his first of several dozen reports detailing concerns about Canadian forces turning over Afghan prisoners to "serious, imminent and alarming" abuse at the hands of local authorities.

Colvin reported his sources were "highly credible," adding he also "obtained first-hand reports of torture and personally saw evidence of injuries related to torture suffered by detainees."

Did Colvin, personally ever go to an Afghan jail to verify his claims? Did Colvin ever personally see an Afghan prisoner tortured? Did Colvin ever talk directly to Hillier? Did Colvin ever directly talk to Minister O'Conner? Did Colvin ever talk to the tooth fairy when he was younger?

Of course, it is possible the bureaucrats kept the potentially explosive detainee issue to themselves to give their political masters "plausible deniability" if it blew up.

More likely, the Harper government was just trying to cover up the whole thing -- sacrificing Canadian lives to bring torture to Afghanistan isn't exactly the stuff to inspire public support. Indeed, Colvin claims various superiors in Ottawa tried to get him to drop the detainee issue, but he persisted.

Let's see, the bureaucrats had been hired by the Liberals. Remember that the Conservatives only won government in January of 2006, this is April, only 4 months later. Weston spews about "plausible deniability". How about the bureaucrats wanting to make the Conservative government look bad. We all know that the foreign affairs department resents any restraints on their power. Colvin is a bureaucrat.

Canada's then top general Rick Hillier wrote in his recently released book that "we lost confidence that basic, reasonable measures were in place to ensure the humane treatment of prisoners."

Hillier bluntly rejects claims by Harper's officials that the PM was kept in the dark on the issue. Even to this day, despite Colvin's 17 months of memos, Harper and his ministers continue to plead ignorance.

I wonder if Weston can be called on his article. Given our freedom of speech laws, I suspect he can spew anything he wants to, but the fun thing is that I can spew as much as he does. He might have a bigger audience, but my audience is dedicated to our cause. Yikes that sounds NDP'ish.

Weston loses all credibility when he labels Conservatives "Bully Boys". He is a typical name calling Liberal, just like all my trolls. Too bad he isn't an unbiased journalist, most blogger are better than he is.
