Canada To Taliban
August 17, 2008 · By Shane Edwards
What would be a good response to this?
The Taliban issued a dire warning to Canada Sunday that if it does not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, insurgents would continue to target all Canadians in the country…
I think Peter MacKay didn’t do a bad job, but I would have worded it like this:
Thank you for the warning. In return I would like to express similar sentiments. To wit, if the Taliban do not cease and desist all agitation to once again take up government in Afghanistan, Canada will continue to target all Taliban members in the country.
This warning is a case in point for the value and purpose of the Canadian presence in Afghanistan. If anything, this stiffens my resolve for Canada’s work there both militarily and in terms of aid. The Taliban must end.
Here’s my response to the Taliban:
Suck our balls.
I find it interesting that the Taliban wrote a letter which effectively states the obvious. There is nothing new in this letter. Is this the very first time we are hearing this from the Taliban? I think not.
Why does this letter deserve any attention?
I do not meant to downplay your post, Shane. My questioning arises from a suspicion that there is more to this letter than meets the eye or the press.
There’s a very simple response…
Dear Taliban,
BOOM!
Love, Canada.
Dear Timmy Taliban,
Seeing as how it is your greatest wish to die for your cause, so as to go meet your 21 white grapes, we will try our utmost to ensure that you have the maximum opportunity to do so.
Love, Canada
Such bravado!
Why not “Bring it on”?
Oye.
