Well, yeah, the whole thing is pissy all round. Ten years in and it seems the questions keep piling up with no clear answers, and now we find out that things are worse than we thought.
And as far as the question of the OP: This merely strengthens my stance on the support for the Canadian government to end military operations in Afghanistan in 2011. I think we've been at it long enough, and I'm not alone on that. It's time to wrap things up and do the best we can for the country before we leave.
