    If he did so what, nobody was hurt. I doubt that the Taliban would even be aware of the Olympics let alone time an attack during it.

    While confirming that the general watched the hockey game with some Canadian and American troops, the game "was over hours before the incident at the bridge," Fortin said.


    The Game was 4:15 GMT

    That report is at 14:24 GMT

    Sounds like the blogger has sour grapes but then there is this:

    Canadian Forces Lt.-Col. Danny Fortin said Yon's description was inaccurate. The bridge, which lies on Highway 4 a short distance from Kandahar Airfield, "does not fall within Canada's area of responsibility for security," he said.


    Wrong time, wrong place.

    Sounds like this story was fabricated by a real trouble maker. My question is why?

    Troops in that area need a mental break. That hockey game for both the Americans and Canadians was a tast of home in a war zone. They
    don't get a lot of them over there.

    All the land surrounding the airport has long been the responsibility of the Royal Air Force Regiment, a British infantry unit that specializes in protecting airports from attack. Most road checks in the area are carried out by Afghan National Police, while sweeps for improvised explosive devices on the major highways in Kandahar are done by a U.S. army Stryker brigade or by U.S. combat engineers attached to them.


    Sounds like someone other than Canucks dropped the ball...

    Hmmm Canadians bad because they watched the game. I wonder what Yawn thinks of his fellow compatriots that watched the game with our troops. Guess they were neglectful and their commander should be removed too.
    Fuckin idiot :roll:
