Libs, Dippers are MIA for Karzai speech

In a blatant show of disrespect for our soldiers and for the Afghan President, many Liberal and NDP MP's boycotted Hamid Karzai's speech to Parliament.

OTTAWA -- A Conservative MP has blasted the "total disrespect" shown by Liberal and NDP MPs who skipped yesterday's address in Parliament by Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.

At least 40 Grits were no-shows for the speech, in which Karzai expressed gratitude for sacrifices and contributions Canada has made to his country. Many Grit and NDP seats were filled with political staffers.

Seems the loony left were afraid to show up and hear that Afghanistan both needed and appreciated our involvement in Afghanistan.
