Comments: Quote of the Day
It makes a nice soundbite, but it missed. Martin is not questioning the comittment to Afghanistan or the resources in place. He's only questioning their priorities (fighting vs building) etc. I think he is dreaming in technicolor as the on-the-ground situation isn't stable enough in the south for reconstruction.
AND, its ignoring that in the north reconstruction is proceeding apace, according to the Afghan government anyway.
So Martin does deserve a slap for his comments, but Harper missed the target on this one.

Goo, I think you're absolutely right. It was a considerable cheap shot on Harper's part. But it stung nonetheless, I think.
