I understand NATO forces entering in pending the recent assination attempt on a member nation's VP, but see it ironic as I read about Canada's professed neutrality and the UK's talks to pull troops out of Iraq....
One final comment, it seems as though the UK wants to fight global terrorism and be a humanitarian from this move, yet they are pulling out of Iraq, does that mean Iraq's cause is not valid enough, and should we leave? |
Actually Britian is taking it's troops out of Iraq and putting them in Afghanistan, so they're just reorganizing their priorities.
We have a neutral attitude for the most part, but when we are asked by an organization we are a part of, to take part.... we're not gonna lay low like the other NATO countries (US, Britian and Dutch excluded)
Nobody else is doing anything, so of course we're going to take the front. That, and the Canadian troops are the most experienced there at the moment, considdering they have been holding the South since they got there.
In this mission, our troops are basically playing as the cut off part of the force. The British go in after then, take them out, and anybody fleeing, will run right into the Canadians and get cut down.
