What Tories Said 'Then' vs What Tories Say 'Now'
Here is what Defense Minister Gordon O'Connor said last November (concerning our military mission to Afghanistan) when he was the Conservative Opposition Defense Critic:
"What are the goals and objectives of the mission and how do they meet our foreign-policy objectives? What is the mandate, what is the defined concept of operations, what is the effective command and control structure, what are the rules of engagement?"
During last nights 'take notice' debate in the House, Minister Gordon accused the NDP of not supporting our troops by asking the very same questions that he asked last fall as an opposition MP.
Is there no limit to the games that the Federal Conservatives are playing with this issue?
