It was just a reference to the logical argument you constructed. sending troops does not necessarily mean that Canada supported the war, in fact I think, as I have read from others and other sources, Canada's motivation may have been more focused on its relationship to the US rather than the underlying issue the US attempted to address in Afghanistan.
