Whoa, Nelly

Oh, so this is how Harper's gonna get us into Iraq.

Harper mum on Canadian special forces role
Won't confirm reports JTF-2 helped in rescue

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper won’t confirm or deny reports that Canada’s elite JTF-2 special forces helped rescue two kidnapped Canadian aid workers in Baghdad.


He'll just send Canadian troops there unilaterally and not tell anybody! Wheeeee!! (Note to Mr. Harper: You are Prime Minister, not President. Learn the difference, please).

I didn't realize that their mandate was that wide-open! I agree with you that it would be a huge political nightmare for Harper to get Canadian forces involved in Iraq long-term (one would hope it would be, anyway).

I've seen some reports that the RCMP were involved in the rescue somehow - interesting if true.
