| Canadians criticise Musharraf's remarks |
| 2006-09-29 |
| OTTAWA: Canadian opposition leaders on Thursday criticised President Pervez Musharraf for accusing Canadians of whining over their casualties in Afghanistan, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservatives refused to join in the condemnation. Liberal party leader Bill Graham said he was "very surprised" to hear Musharraf diminish Canada's loss. "This is not whining," he told reporters outside the House of Commons. "This is about establishing the fact that Canadians are risking their lives and putting their blood into the country of Afghanistan. It's an honourable thing that's being done." |

| #1 We are risking our troops against the common enemy Pakistan ISI and its support of militants.I would say most militant/extremist worldwide have contacts with the ISI.The Religious parties are keeping him in power. In UK a major Court case is going on with a British born muslim being head of a conspiracy to bomb nightclubs.He had to stop his defense re his Pakistan visits because his family was getting threats from the ISI if he mentioned their contacts. |
