i think hillier hinted at both Iran and Pakistan being possibilities for future war expansion because of weapons supplies across the border and taliban dissapearing across the borders.
No doubt the guys with ranks want to move in, but the politicians wont allow it.
Thats right and there is nothing like trying to fight a war with one hand tied behind your back.
So now you have gone from ridiculing Dion for supposedly hinting at invading Pakistan to blaming the politicians for not supporting a military mission to
both Iran and Pakistan.
Sounds like the person making this up as he goes along isn't Dion.

I think the point of ridiculing Dion was his constant flip flops. he says he wants the Afghan mission to end, yet advocates a Pakistan invasion. You can't conceivably do both (unless his plan was to invade Pakistan with 2500 troops from Afghanistan).
First off, if you want flip-flops then Harper is your man.
Second, He never ever said invade. Thats a BS partisan hackery lie by people willing to say anything to attack the Liberals.
Third, if you cannot give an accurat eposition of the Liberal position then don't say anything. the NDP wants a complete withdrawl while the Liberals want a withdrawl from front-line combat and our role shifted to more emphasize training the ANA and reconstruction efforts and general security.
In essence, making the Afghan army and gov't directly responsible for their country.
Imagine that. Expecting the citizens of a country to assume control over it.
I'm sure we as Canadians would sit back and allow another nation to take centre stage if we were in their situation.
