Junior Foreign Affairs minister Peter Kent is suggesting Canada stands ready to throw its full military weight behind Israel, telling a Toronto publication that “an attack on Israel would be considered an attack on Canada

So without even looking at the reason for the attack Canada will just side with Israel? That is just bizarre.

I can understand standing beside/behind ones allies. But what is say Israel launches one of its nukes "it does not have" on Iran and the rest of the world decides to respond in force against Israel... we side with Israel?

yay us..

Seems to me that when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Great Britain was automatically at war, because Great Britain had the same type of agreement. This would prevent anyone from attacking Israel, because of Canada's mighty reputation! Can you imagine a country hostile to Israel ,quaking in its bed, because of the chance that Canada would fly some of its helicopters over its soil? Why the death rate from falling pieces of parts alone would prevent any attack!

I think its pathetic that just because we put some muscle into our military, we should be flexing it. Our military should be put to use in good will missions, not retalitory or pre-emptive strikes that do not occur on Canadian soil.

Would an attack on Canada be considered an attack on Israel, thus having them join us in battle to defend ourselves? I hope so!

What do you define as a "good will mission" considering that you are speaking about the military?

Triniman- Word has it from Israel that Israel is denying any relationship with Canada, as they don't want to appear weakened with the responsibility of having to come and rescue Candian troops being transported in Canadian helicoptors!

Isn't that what our GG does?

Our military aren't there to be social workers or diplomats imo. They're trained to fight and kill primarily and that's what they should stick to.

There was a time when that was the primary purpose of Canadian troops (peace-keepers, then peace-makers). Now they're doing what an army should be doing...

The more relevant questions should be have we done enough yet and should we get the hell out of that country.

I say yes and yes.

Wouldn't our efforts then have been wasted?

Apparently there are "tons" of "taliban supporters" pouring into afghanistan right now which is going to make for a very difficult time for our troops. Are our efforts perhaps already wasted?

really? you would think all the taliban supporters would stay away from afghanistan.

By pooling them all together, they create themselves a target for a strategic military strike.

PANJWAII, Afghanistan - Soldiers in the Panjwaii district west of
Kandahar city are getting the full impact of foreign fighters coming in
for the summer fighting season.

Maj. Eleanor Taylor, the commander of a combat team at
one of the forward operating bases, says there has been more contact in
the past month than the previous battlegroup received during its tour.


But she notes summer is usually the busiest time and there are
both Waziri fighters from a remote region of Pakistan and Pakistani
fighters themselves.

Taylor says villagers near the base live in constant fear
at this time of year and letters warning of retaliation for anyone who
works with NATO are becoming more commonplace.

She adds the Taliban are "brutal and cruel" and aren't
bound by North American-style morality.

To the west of the base is a 'no mans land', where NATO
forces avoid and the Taliban are free to roam freely.

Love those last two lines eh?

this is where they should be dropping bombs non-stop for about 2 weeks...shut down the zone completely.
