As I have said here, the reason to withdraw Canadian Troops out of harms way in Afghanistan is that since Kandahar is part of the porous border in dispute between Pakistan and Afghanistan then its their problem not ours.
Pakistan and the Afghan Army should patrol this area. If Karzai needs troops he can hire them. Since many of the "private contractors" are withdrawing from Iraq they are always looking for work. Besides thats the American Libertarian way.
And clearly the Pakistani government is playing both sides of the coin.As I have pointed out here. It has supported the Taliban, it has supported the terrorists in Kashmir, its has a record of playing both sides.
Afghan-Pakistani Relations Deteriorating
But a spike in violence in Afghanistan has fueled suspicions in Kabul that Pakistan's intelligence agencies may be still supporting the Taliban, which Pakistan strongly denies. About 1,600 people were killed in violence in Afghanistan last year, the most since the Taliban was ousted in 2001.
Yep, another Mission Accomplished!
