Don't worry, Phaenx, Jean Chrétien is retiring and will most likely be replaced by Paul Martin, a financial shark.
As for the unarmed recon team, this falls into the same category as the person who spoke the infamous "Bush is a moron" quote and the booing of the US national anthem during an Islanders vs. Canadiens game in Montreal, which would be the "Gets-blown-way-out-of-proprotions-by-the-media-who-happened-to-be-there-at-the-time" category.
As with the other 2 examples, I'm pretty sure that this type of thing happened before, as buraucracy is a retarded, baffling beast. While I certainly agree that not arming soldiers in a war zone is embarassing, I don't think that this article fully illustrates what situation those 25 soldiers are in, as it's clearly composed of a lot of filler about Canada's role in the war and NOT reports from these very soldiers whose lives are supposedly threatened.
