Please show me where any Liberals, NDP, greens or the media demanded the costs of Chretien's war in the 2006 election.

Harper's war will end in mid October, and it looks like we're winning.
You dodge my question. If the Libs are so concerned with the costs of Afghanistan, why wasn't this an issue back in 2006? Chretien's war wasn't even mentioned untill Harper was elected and now all you Liberals forgot you put us there and voted for the extension.
Now you're bitching about the mission ending.
Stop playing politics and get on with the job.

Anyone want to deny that CBC has an agenda? The title of their article is "Cost of Afghan mission being kept secret". When in fact the opposition parties only gave their consent on Tuesday and Harper gave his consent Wednesday. It's funny reading some of the comments at CBC. A whole bunch of people are asking why we need Harpers consent for the release of this. They either didn't read the article or ignored what it said.

Harper wouldn't give an answer immediately, Ruez. He dodged and hesitated. It was only after it hit the press that he felt sufficient pressure to release the report. He then claimed it wasn't up tp him, which it most certainly was.

this thread should be locked, Harper has allowed the information to become available.

You just don't stop spinning, do you?
He didn't answer because doing so inside an election could affect results. That's why he asked the Liberals and the fringe parties if this material could be released.
I'll bet that when this report and the cost comes out, you'll stil find something to bitch about.

The official Conservative estimate is $8 billion - meaning that the actual figure is certainly much higher.
A complete waste of money.
A complete waste of money.
Yeah Sneakers Fighting Terrorism, trying to help the Afghans rebuild is a complete waste of money, typical Isolationist Bullshit!

No. The military doesn't define Canada, fortunately.
The Courage and Heroism of Canada's Military defines Canada, Isolationists like you sure as hell don't..
