    *shakes head*

    Thank God it's not ours.

    No more UN bullshit 'peacekeeping' missions.

    Agreed, but quietly I like to think Canadians would not have given up so easy. One might quietly expect them to have been more like the Filipinos or the Irish who were there, who fought back, and were not taken.

    I would suspect Canadians would be smart enough not to expect fair treatment from Jihadis.

    What were they doing there in the first place. Syria is still a war zone, as the name suggests, they are Peacekeepers. Designed to be in place after peace is declared and to ensure peace is held.

    Just another item to add to the long list of UN screwups.

    Again, why put Peacekeepers in an unstable warzone. Peacekeepers have rather restricted ROE's and support. They should never be deployed in an active warzone.

    No law requires UN Peacekeepers to have limited ROE or bad supply.

    The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) was established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 350 on 31 May 1974, to implement Resolution 338 (1973) which called for an immediate ceasefire and implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 242.
    The resolution was passed on the same day the Agreement on Disengagement was signed between Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights, finally establishing a ceasefire to end the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

    Thank you for the info, perhaps this mission should have been scrubbed at the start of the civil war as their mandate was limited to the Golan Heights.

    Xort, who sets the ROEs?

    If the U.N. had any collective balls, they would be assembling a powerful rescue force from various armies of the World to protect their blue helmets. The amazing thing (considering their raison d'etre) is that the UN seems unable to assemble a sufficiently powerful coalition ...

    So, what does trial by Sharia law consist of with a bunch of Fijian peace keeping troops ... three old imams holding their thumbs up or down like Roman consuls at the Coliseum? Is that all that passes for legal process in those barbarian lands?

    Maybe they, like the Yanks in Somalia, need the Pakis to come in and save them. :idea: Brutality meets a better armed and trained brutality. Talk is cheap, and as they say action speaks louder than words.

    Maybe, just maybe, carpet bombing doesn't work.
