Canadian soldiers are sure proving themselves in Afghanistan. The good Canadians must be proud. The evil Canadians must be squirming.

The lads from up North are doing well, not much news in the drive by MSM, but there a lot of Taliban meeting their 72 virgins over the last couple of weeks.
The more the merrier.

While they are up there they should be spraying agent orange or something of the sort on those Poppy fields.

Globe and Mail Article:
PANJWAI DISTRICT, AFGHANISTAN Canadian troops pushed deep into the warren of fields in Panjwai district Wednesday morning, hunting Taliban under bright moonlight after enduring hours of co-ordinated attacks by the insurgents.
Toronto Red Star Version:
PANJWAI DISTRICT, U.S. OCCUPIED AFGHANISTAN -- The autonomous district of Panjwai was invaded by Canadian troops Wednesday morning, after being pummeled for hours by crack Taliban fighters in a night-long series of co-ordinated defensive actions. It was unclear how many casualties would be suffered by Canadian Forces.
Globe and Mail Article:
The soldiers crept forward on foot, into terrain so difficult that armoured vehicles could not advance for fear of getting stuck in the rutted fields, irrigation trenches and dry canals.
Toronto Red Star Version:
The Canadian invaders were forced to advance by foot, into hostile terrain easily traveled by the Taliban, but too great a challenge for modern armoured vehicles prone to getting stuck in the local terrain.
Globe and Mail Article:
It was the first major incursion by either side in the past 24 hours, in the continuing struggle for control of Panjwai district. Operation Medusa, launched four days ago to control the volatile region southwest of Kandahar city, has settled into a siege, with hundreds of Canadian troops and their allies encircling about 700 insurgents who fiercely defend their foothold near Afghanistan's second-largest city.
Toronto Red Star Version:
In the past 24 hours, Operation Medusa appears to be stalled as hundreds of Taliban fighters continue to defy and defend their territory from the Canadian Forces who are attempting to take control of the disputed region southwest of Kandahar.
Yep, that sounds about right for the Toronto Red Star.

A mobile phone belonging to one of the detainees started ringing during the initial questioning, Major Abthorpe said. A military interpreter answered the call, and discovered that he was talking with a senior Taliban commander. WUPS! BUS-TEDD!!!!
LOL!!

That would be the taliban ammo dump! GOD bless our Heroes and the Allied Heroes!

I wish we could figure out how to not shoot the good guys. Maybe give them IFF? Many thanks to Canada for their help and condolences for their sacrifice.
Did anyone else notice that the bad guys have cell service?

Good job, men. Thanks for your service to your country and to the cause of freedom!
What the liberals miss in all of this is that our coalition forces are becoming battle-hardened, experienced in the ways of asynchronous warfare, and wizened to the strategies of these IslamoNazis.
