Personal Quote:

[After entertaining troops in Afghanistan] I have great sympathy for, and to some extent sympathy with, those young Canadians that are over there in uniform, doing their best to get a very difficult thing done... [But]at the same time, it seems unlikely to me that they will get either the time or the support, or at least get the support, for a long enough time to finish the mission. See more »
