Canada will withdraw the bulk of its military forces in Afghanistan as scheduled in 2011, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper pledged on Wednesday, saying the Afghan government “at some point has to be able to be primarily responsible” for the country’s security. …
“You have to put an end date on these things,” Harper said.
He added that while Canada’s military leaders have not acknowledged it publicly, a decade of war is enough.
“By 2011, we will have been in Kandahar, which is probably the toughest province in the country, for six years,” Harper said.
I agree. Congratulations Prime Minister.
