Canadian Forces to focus on ‘reconstruction and development’s; once additional U.S. soldiers arrive in southern Afghanistan
The coming U.S. troop surge around Kandahar city will liberate Canadian troops to focus more of their energies on development programs and training of local Afghan forces, Canadian government officials and experts said.
U.S. President Barack Obama is scheduled to lay out his new Afghan strategy next week, sending another 25,000 to 34,000 troops who are expected to be heavily concentrated in Kandahar, where the Canadian Forces are currently operating.
The reinforcements will be politically useful for the Harper government, which is getting ready to pull out of combat operations in Afghanistan in 2011.
“Canada welcomes the arrival of additional troops, especially in the south of the country,” a Canadian official said. “The increased presence in the south has allowed the Canadian Forces to consolidate their efforts in key districts, and to help Canada focus on its priorities, namely reconstruction and development.”

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
