Well, the Dippers are apparently insane with rage that there was a mere 6 hours of debate in Parliament before it voted to extend the military mission in Afghanistan.
I know you're sitting there waiting for it... so here's the punch line.
ADDENDUM: - 9:58 am - after a full 51 minutes debate, a full 5 hours and 9 minutes LESS than the debate in the house on this issue, the NDP pass a motion to resolve that they remove troops from Afghanistan immediately.This is what happens when you get too many geriatric, shroomed out ex-flower children and their genetically damaged progeny in the same space for any length of time.
SIDENOTE: There are, of course, other opinions.
The big headline out of the convention was the party's call for Canadian troops to be brought home from Afghanistan. Already, the policy is paying dividends. Polls indicate the NDP position is very popular among opium growers, warlords and unemployed philosophy graduates who think Noam Chomsky is, like, on to something, man.TrustOnlyMulder puts on his helmet, gloves and safety boots and attempts to wade through the wreckage.
UPDATE: Just to show the Dippers I'm not a totally heartless neocon, here's the holy grail of socially progressive debating.
