Newark Execution Murders

The Afghan force is mostly special forces aiding the national Afghan army. It's a very different force from Iraq, which has become some of that, but mostly a police and training force.

We're losing the war in Afghanistan. If you think it's just a matter of staying behind like in Korea, or Japan, you're sorely mistaken.

Canada will be pulling back from major combat operations (very much NOT policing or the 'afghan army', whatever the heck they're doing) in 2009. Good luck getting someone else to bite the bullet.

Violence is increasing, the Taliban is gaining ground. The cushier situation up north is merely a bubble, to be popped as soon as military power moves out of the south.

You already are in another Soviets-in-Afghanistan war. You just managed to convince your allies to fight it for you. But that's not going to last more than a couple more years.
