Dippers forced to eat...

... a BIG shit sandwich.

"We in no way intended to suggest that our Canadian Forces personnel were in any way associated with terrorism," Creba said.
Hey Sue, I'm guessing it'll take more than a few pina coladas to get rid of that taste. Also noteworthy was the absence of Taliban Jack Layton... a man who would normally walk across broken glass to get a soundbite on the 6 o'clock news.

And speaking of politically correct idiocy, let's make a stupid, empty gesture that helps the dumbed down citizenry somehow feel ennobled.

==> Meanwhile, back in the real world, from his hospital room in Germany, company commander Major Matthew Sprague, talking about the "friendly fire" incident, refused to play the blame game.
"I'm sure it will be analyzed to death, conclusions will be drawn, studies will be done, but I was on the ground and I feel just as bad for that poor American pilot," said Sprague, who fractured his skull. "His reactions saved lives that day, too."
And that, my friends on the lunatic left... is the Canadian soldier personified.
