New Democrat Party Leader Jack Layton has had enough of this fake war, as he lays out in his statment to Canada’s Prime Minister, Paul Martin.  Layton called for an immediate halt to sending more Canadian troops to Afghanistan, warning that Canada must not "drift into a war blindly." 

"We appear to be drifting from our original mission there – which was to provide security in the capital region – and into a combat role side-by-side with American troops," Layton continued.

Layton’s announcement follows NATO’s approval of a plan to send up to 6,000 troops into southern Afghanistan in a major expansion of their mission.

"We must not drift into a war blindly or secretly, on the say-so of one man – Mr. Martin."

According to the BBC, Layton also said at a campaign stop in St. John’s,"Canadians need to have a debate on whether they want Canadian service personnel to become deeply involved in an initiative that’s pressed forward by (U.S. President) George Bush."

Go Team Canada!
