So, this comes out.
Prompting this.
He said the Liberals backed sending 69 special forces soldiers to Iraq and were supportive of the idea of training and advising the Kurdish peshmerga."The part we had a problem with was the involvement of the CF-18s, and the reason for that was we had nine other countries providing strike aircraft. It was overkill," he said on CBC TV's Power and Politics. "There were better ways to use Canadian military resources."
Oh, COME ON Garneau. Overkill? That's the best you guys can do?
Come on, you can say it...say it...say it! Here, let me help you..."My leader is a nincompoop."
You can hear Ivison laughing while writing the column. "Snort...train the Kurdish militias in Manitoba...Har, Har, Har! Oh, heavens, I can't breathe."
I just can't help but laugh too, I think of all the serious Liberal politicians, Goodale is one, and I try and imagine what they're thinking, and then I laugh some more.
Goodale is a self righteous Gliberal politician. Serious????? Come on, be serious.
As if one is going to sit down and discover the 'root causes' of why ISIS thinks its well within the bounds of civilization to immolate uniformed troops, or casually cut their heads off in contravention of any and all Geneva Convention protocols.
The only 'overkill' occurring, is on the part of ISIS; and of course the "Glibtastic" response would be 'underkill'. ISIS certainly isn't looking for discussion over 'happy hour' slurping back daiquiris.

Overkill, I understand that, have you seen the size of those things?!
Besides providing a poor interview response to a questionably poor "opposition" response, the Liberals next best bet was having a few dead soldiers sans CF-18's.
Pathetic

Paraded in cages 'to be burned alive' like Jordanian pilot: ISIS releases video claiming to show 17 Kurdish fighters in humiliating procession through Iraqi city
Heads bowed in terror the orange-clad Kurdish fighters are paraded through streets filled with jeering militants in the latest horrifying video release from Islamic State.
In a grim echo of the terrible fate which befell Jordanian pilot Lieutenant Muath al-Kaseasbeh the captives, reportedly Peshmerga fighters, are dressed in orange jumpsuits and shackled in cages.
Just as Lt. al-Kaseasbeh was burned alive on camera, IS are planning to do the same with their latest prisoners, according to posts on social media.
It appears ISIS prefers prisoner immolation...sure to stoke outrage.
Probably, better to fight it out rather than be taken prisoner.

islam, the problem yesterday, today and tomorrow if something very serious is not done to control or remove it from our presence.
Iraq is a very hot potato, the TOTAL situation there
could impact Canada in ways only a few could imagine.
Trying to keep abreast of the TOTAL picture there must
be a nightmare for Liberals busy collecting parkas.
Hope their slogan is TOTAL safety, first and foremost.
This war will be expensive - that money is better spent on enforcing the UN climate plan and evicting all those pensioned seniors who can't renovate their homes to global carbon footprint standards - or subsidizing a an ISL understanding course in university - or running a federal embrace Islam week
- seek root cause not war!!
I am just peachy with war, Occam - but only on one condition: that liberals and leftists have no say in military affairs. If they do we will certainly lose.
These are not serious people.
Justin would bring Sarah Mclaughlin to sing I will remember you to honor the next foreign terrorist attack.
'Goodale is one'
....serious Liberal who has never given a non-partisan response to a question in his 40+ years of public service.
I saw on google iran news explained that iran draw new cartoon for joke or can be serious god knows that iranian draw cartton holocost is not exit and no jewish story is truth to get isreal land and kill muslim for hate islam. That cartoon for revenge of mohamd carton make fun muslim is created by athesim , josws and jgayauuys people. I think in world run by crazy people that politician find new way of enjoy killing blam each other destroy safty security. Put seeds of hat for both partes required lots of time change brain cell. Such in iran shah time if someone said shah of iran is bad he got executed by savak agency of shah and now if some one said I do not like khomeni he can hang with sepah pasdaran maybe same savak changed face when give freedom both to say anything you want they gun kill each other. Noow they use religion excuse to kill. This is unknown how those muslim immiggranted from afganestan and indian and pakistan and saudi arabi and yemen to iraq and syria and how price of oil goes down rolls
Goodale is the Fred Flintstone of the prairies
I agree. Furthermore, I, while on a rail retention committee, shook hands with him in the early 1980s. Something like shaking hands with a Jack fish doubling as a lawyer.
Garneau said this! And he was in the service? Must have been in the girl scouts. What a dimwit.
Nice Sam Kinneson reference, lance. "Good answer. Good answer."
The one bright spot of this ISIS thing is that they may actually wake up at least a portion of the Islamic world to what this extremism really is, and convince the to join the fight against it. Jordan already appears to be on board. When the time comes to deal with ISIS and their cohorts with extreme prejudice, hopefully we will have a significant number of Muslims on board.
Ah, the Liberals, Garneau, Goodale, whichever, whoever. You'd be hard pressed to decide who among them has the brain power to think past their own messy tent, stuck so far into their rabid anti-Conservative pit to think clearly on anything beyond clueless objection. Having Trudeau as their front man is even less helpful, he's being fed lines from a nameless "brainless" trust which renders him unable to answer simple questions without that shrug and blank stare.
They should soon be in free fall, it won't be pretty as they continue to attempt to correct their less than Shiny Pony and make it even worse. Never mind the country,Liberals in their present state are a liability to even themselves.
Back when we had the war with iraq these same liberals were marching through the streets demanding a end to the war but that was under Bush a Repulbican but since Obama theWar Monder isa Demacrat they wont be lifting a finger becuase the media isnt interested anymore
A Michael Crichton quote kinda fits the liberals and the media:
"Sheer volume comes to imply a value which is specious. I call this the There-Must-Be-A-Pony effect, from the old joke in which a kid comes down Christmas morning, finds the room filled with horse-shit, and claps his hands with delight. His astonished parents ask: why are you so happy? He says, with this much horseshit, there must be a pony."
Nothing new here it's just a variation on the old Liberal position on war. Remember "conscription if necessary, but not necessarily conscription" in WWII, now we have "fight if necessary, but not necessarily fight", the Liberals always want it both ways. It's another take on "what's good for me but not for thee" as far as their concerned.
Poor LaDoo, stuck with the perpetual WTF look on his face, a face and personality only a mother and 95% of our pathetic media could love. But he has dreamy hair. GoodAle Garneau Mcall(hic)um and the rest of that media propped up bunch of Liberal idiots could'nt do a Tims drive through without confusion and yet Fifi and the group thinkers try to pee on Harper with every story the write. Liberals and our media would scream and demand death to the perpetrator if it was a kitty or puppy burned to death in a cage, but watching a brave gas soaked pilot, burn in the cage brings out their rage against Steven Harper, damn they are stupid.
We know Judy Sgro thinks it's Harper's fault, she said as much in the HOC. What sort of people elect such individuals? They'd be a danger to our safety if they had any power at this time.
Garneau. Making Hadfield and MacLean look reeeeeeally smart.
All the Liberals that fawned over the leadership campaign of Garneau can now understand why Trudeau was finally selected. Garneau would take a knife to a gun fight while Trudeau would have selected the feather duster.
Sometimes being a conservative and a realist it takes great restraint to not reach out and gobsmack all Liberals on the side of the head just to wake them up out of their stupor. Overkill, really Mark, overkill! If war is forced upon you, overkill is not an option. Victory at all cost prevented the Wehrmacht from marching down Whitehall. Think about that when you see pilots immolated. Do you want to see ISIS troop marching down St. Catherine's? Overkill?
It seems the public better understands the difference between combat and combat operations than the Opposition, especially the Liberals. When the matter returns to the House it will be fun to watch Mr Trudeau take it from both sides for their eventual U-turn (No, we were OK with it as long as we didn't whip out our CF18s).
Psst, we should have gone with the astronaut.
Don't expect anything from Garneau, Useless POS
Read Isis is using captured women and children for blood transfusions for the injured " warriors".
How much lower will they go?
How can you say you want humanitarian aid with out the CF-18s? Those sleeping bags are going to fly themselves.
Please someone confirm that the Liberal's 'soixante-neuf' was not Valentine related.
"I think of all the serious Liberal politicians.."
Goodale stopped being serious a long time ago.
Serious Liberals??? never mind serious liberal politician, would say their party went off and left them, for there is nothing liberal about people who have used the power of state as the Liberals did and who still wish to use this statism to "solve" all the social ills they imagine.
The Libtards of today are fading into obscurity, the people who vote for them are crusted on social parasites or too stupid to add.
There is nothing serious about the current liberals, no policy, no heart, no liberty.
Nor leadership.
OK, one serious thing, is it possible, as went Ontario, that sufficient concentrations of such voters in Canadian cities will elect a liberal government?
Consider this, if persons dependent on public payrolls were denied the right to vote (conflict of interest), who would be left to vote NPD or Liberal?
Currently government consists of forcibly taking the return on ones labour from productive citizens and then throwing the symbols of that wealth away on endless welfare and make work bureaucracies.
Makers versus takers, our financial situation is clear, too many takers, insufficient makers.
Takers rule, have done for nearly 6 decades, hence that scorecard..national debt.
The present ruling and regulating class are so divorced from ever having made a thing of value, that they are now making productive work illegal.
I once thought Garneau was a credible candidate for leader of the Liberal party, but after seeing how he's become the Party "what my leader really means is..." guy, I have no respect for him.
Garneau is just another of those "timid" politicians we discussed on another post.
Granted,as the Son of a CAF general, he DID become an astronaut, but since joining the Liberals and watching the leader's role being handed to Trudeau on a silver platter,he's become just another Liberal.
Probably always was, and I was fooled by the glamour.
I notice Wikpedia no longer mentions that Garneau was the son of Brigadier-General Andre Garneau,which fact undoubtedly gave his career path a big boost.
'Serious' Liberals... heh.
If they'd gone with Garneau, I'd have believed they were serious, and worth backing against the Federal Tories (who need a time-out to reflect). Instead, the Whigs bet it all on dreamy hair and chasing Twitter trends.
You made your beds, now lay in them. We'll try not to keep you awake with excessive chortling.
Goodale a serious liberal?
He was a cab minister of some note in the chretien gov't but didn't mind knifing his boss in favour of paul martian. When martian took over, goodale as finance minister leaked some delicate information on what was it - income trusts? The rcmp (zacardelli) investigated but pinned it on some underling...... so much for ministerial responsibility.
Ralph has never been anything but a partisan hack. Rewarded by the eastern liberal establishment for being able to 'win in the west' where they are typically shut out. His career as a cabinet minister was completely unremarkable
Waddaya "spect......they're Liberals.....
Not Canadians, farmers, Christians......Liberals.....which defines their very existence.....
The pattern is starting to develop where the default media reaction to specific positions taken by the Leisuresuit Larry party will not be taken seriously.
This inevitability leads to the Ottawa punditry to start off any commentary with a sneer or with a grin. Once established as a pattern, the jokers and humour writers start waiting for the next bozo erruption to get content for their writings.
Currently the only thing restricting this evolution is an overwhelming sense of disbelief that because his name is Trudeau he can't possibly be this way.
The bias of course is based on the myth....cause ya know the 60's where all about peace love and understanding.
Or so they where told...
I'll say it again.
Had the internet been around in 1965, PET would never been more than a back bench MP.
It's not complicated. CPC has a very clear policy: stop ISIS in Iraq. Dippers have a very clear policy: no military involvement overseas. So the feckless Libs are caught trying to find a middle position.
As Winston Churchill noted many decades ago, "There is no neutrality between the fireman and the fire."
Hence, the Liberals, all of them, are going to sound like idiots until they settle on one side or another.
ALL costs should be paid by the SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY!
It's THEIR Asses we're protecting!
Interesting how involvement in the Liberal Party seems to either emasculate or stupefy former Canadian heroes. Remember "I want my Canada back"?
