Liberal New York Times swoops in to save Canada from itself

Sooper LiberalApparently bored with their daily multiple anti-Bush and anti-America articles, the liberal New York Times has luckily figured just in time that Canada is in Afghanistan, fighting a war against terrorism, and that Canada now has a Conservative government.  This is bad.  Sometime MUST be done.

Time to find a phone booth.  This requires New York Times liberal superhero action.

Afghan Bomb on Road Kills 4 Canadians

KABUL, Afghanistan, April 22 — Four Canadian soldiers were killed Saturday when their vehicle was blown up by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, Canadian military officials said.

The explosion hit their patrol in the mountainous Shah Wali Kot district of Kandahar Province, where Canadian troops took over from American forces last month and where complaints about their actions had started to emerge from villagers.

Three of the soldiers were killed instantly, and the fourth died at a military hospital after being evacuated to Kandahar, a Canadian military spokesman, Maj. Quentin Innis, said by telephone.

The explosion, detonated by a technically advanced remote controlled device, was probably the work of an insurgent cell, he said.

The Canadian soldiers had mounted a large operation in Shah Wali Kot, beside Afghan Army and police forces, to make their presence known, meet the villagers and search for insurgents and explosives.

That operation has run into trouble. An Afghan youth hit a Canadian soldier in the head with an ax in March in a nearby village, Shinkay, about seven miles from where the bomb attack occurred Saturday. The soldier is still in the hospital, in a coma; the Afghan youth was shot dead by other soldiers at the time.

Members of a family from Gumbad, the village where the Canadians are based, said Saturday in a telephone interview that the bombing had been organized by villagers who were angry about what they described as inappropriate treatment during searches.

One elder, whose family asked that he not be identified for fear of reprisals, denounced the Canadian troops for bringing dogs into the village mosque and peoples’ homes, and for conducting intimate body searches.

“I am an educated person, and I know a bit about how they do things, but I am getting angry when they are bringing dogs to my mosque and to my house,” the elder said. “I also feel like attacking them with an ax, but I lack the courage.”

But but… the next paragraph is…

Major Innis said that the Canadian force had not received such complaints from villagers, and that the sophistication and cost of the bomb was such that it was unlikely to have been set by them.

So all the previous anti-Canada rhetoric was just window-dressing to discourage and embarrass Canada and Canadians and cause concern and consternation and cause us to question our motives and methods?  Well done superhero to the liberal pacifist and appeasment masses!

They report, you decide!  Of course they don’t tell you that they’ve slanted the story such that you are provided only with negative doomsday unsubstantiated stories of alleged torture and misbehavior by our good troops, nor that the Afghanistan war is for their freedom and democracy and our security and all of the most noble and moral causes known to man.  But whatever.  His panties are so tight and I can see his nipples!
