Dallaire says he never meant to equate Canada with terrorist

The Kadr family are hard core muslim terrorists and they don't belong in Canada.

"Khadr, an Egyptian-born Canadian citizen, is considered by intelligence officials to be the highest-ranking Canadian within Osama bin Laden's inner circle. He studied computer science at the University of Ottawa and worked for an Ottawa-based Islamic charity, Human Concern International, which Chretien's government generously subsidized.

Khadr is suspected of diverting charity funds to bin Laden and other jihadists, and of serving as a chief terrorist recruiter. Known as al-Kanadi (Arabic for "the Canadian"), Khadr previously had been in custody in Pakistan for the 1995 bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Islamabad that killed 17 people.

Chretien personally intervened on behalf of Khadr during a 1996 state visit to Pakistan, aggressively seeking guarantees from Benazir Bhutto, then the country's prime minister, that Khadr would receive due process and fair treatment."

The solder that Kader killed could just as easy have been a Canadian medic instead, a brother, sister, son or mother of anyone here. I like to believe that this charitable opinion would be different if that were the case.. but I doubt it for some of you.

The UN is its own worst enemy when it comes to solving conflicts, especially ones where peace has to be imposed.

I could jump on a soapbox and chide you for reading comprehension problems and suggest some remedial lessons but I'm a mature and reasonable person. You should take that as an example of how to rise above petty things and stay focused on the point.

You need to read that again because I didn't say the failure was his.
The failure of the mission must rest on the head of the UN who dithered about when all indications told them to do something. They ignored what they were told, had no support, nor did they have any plan.

This is the norm. for UN missions and that's why I don't want to see Canadians troops wasted by these fools anymore.

You tell me. Are officers expected to make command descions? I think yes but I'm a civie.

What descion could he have made and what power could he have projected?

Seems to me that alot of cons are looking to scapegoat and erase any possible pro-military influence in the Libs.

You tell me. What was he capable of that he did not do?

He did the safest thing, which is fitting for a peace time officer who got fed a steady diet of "peacekeeping" bullshit. He did nothing and some 80,000 dies.
If he did something, he and all his force may have been wiped out, but maybe some of the 80,000 might have been saved.
Did he go there as an observer, or as a soldier?

I dont give a flying fuck about this family or their grenade chucking kid, infact I hate them.
Label them as an enemy of the state and kick them the fuck out.

Dallaire is shuckin' and jivin'. He was asked a direct question as to whether he really meant that Canada was on a moral level with al Qaeda and he answered, 'Yes'. Now that Canadians have heard of his blatant stupidity, he's backing off and trying to claim that's not what he meant.
