UPDATE: Playing it safe... AND hypocritical
"This attack is yet another visceral reminder of the danger faced by our Canadian Forces in Afghanistan."Your prayers, Jacko?
"Our prayers are with all of them today."
Somebody help me out here... which abortion-friendly Church do Jack and Olivia belong to, anyway? The Taliban twins are pro-abortion cheerleaders, aren't they?
Oh yeah... it's that church that supports the Palestinian intifada.
And hey, Jack... don't use up all your prayers in one place.
