I'll bet. The NDP would send a delegation (half women, mind you) and convince ISIS to "give peace a chance". They will then drop their weapons to the ground after seeing the error of their ways.

I actually agree with Muclair. I hate it when our government tries to dress up the fact that our troops are involved in combat, by claiming its an arms length training mission. Chretien did this in Afghanistan and Trudeau is trying to do the same with Iraq. Everyone knows our troops are there. Stop bullsh!tt!ng, Mr. Prime Minister.

It's a weird kind of photo op., granted, that one of our soldiers killed someone 3-1/2 kilometes away with a single shot. The "score keeping" aspect is ghoulish. On the other hand, Canadians rarely acknowledge their armed forces and the jobs that they do on behalf of the rest of us. That is what soldiers have to do, sometimes ... kill people.

I find it all a bit ghoulish...bragging about the stats like the shooter just won a medal at the Olympics or something. A bit of a chickenshit kill in my opinion.

Perhaps the shot was just to get the record rather than it was the one shot that saved western civilization. (sign of a sick society to cheer at a dead on a person who is not a direct threat, velcome to the newt Amerika.

Perhaps a vid of him doing something terrorist like would justify the kill rather than he was standing there having a smoke. The Iraqi sniper Juba at least video taped his shots. No long distance records but he sure could find a lot of targets.

right YOUR beheading videos from a propaganda site that HAVE BEEN SHOWN to be FAKE NEWS

You may possibly write fiction but you sure can't tell it when you see it buttwipe.
I said back your sh!t up and that's the best you can do?

lol YOU are hillarious..get back to driving your hay wagon.
Because the military brain washing you think with is no substitute for the critical thinking you are incapable of doing

We just saw the US invade several countries and not once has the logic stood up to close scrutiny so all the deaths become murder to make some else else rich.
(buddy tried to warm you with the Smedley Butler citation, but you won't read up on the facts from someone acclaimed..I bet you don't even know who he was)

Canadian soldiers? No, these days its retired Canadian mercenaries
...and The best you can do is insult me like a cheap drunk

"The ISIS Islamic Terrorists are Supported by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia

"Who’s Really Pulling the Strings?
The Times of Israel reported Wednesday:

A Free Syrian Army commander, arrested last month by the Islamist militia Al-Nusra Front, told his captors he collaborated with Israel in return for medical and military support, in a video released this week.Read more: Syrian rebel commander says he collaborated with Israel.

In a video uploaded to YouTube Monday … Sharif As-Safouri, the commander of the Free Syrian Army’s Al-Haramein Battalion, admitted to having entered Israel five times to meet with Israeli officers who later provided him with Soviet anti-tank weapons and light arms. Safouri was abducted by the al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front in the Quneitra area, near the Israeli border, on July 22.

“The [opposition] factions would receive support and send the injured in [to Israel] on condition that the Israeli fence area is secured. No person was allowed to come near the fence without prior coordination with Israel authorities,” Safouri said in the video.
***
In the edited confession video, in which Safouri seems physically unharmed, he says that at first he met with an Israeli officer named Ashraf at the border and was given an Israeli cellular phone. He later met with another officer named Younis and with the two men’s commander, Abu Daoud. In total, Safouri said he entered Israel five times for meetings that took place in Tiberias.

Following the meetings, Israel began providing Safouri and his men with “basic medical support and clothes” as well as weapons, which included 30 Russian [rifles], 10 RPG launchers with 47 rockets, and 48,000 5.56 millimeter bullets.

Also on Wednesday, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency – a 97-year old Jewish wire service – reported:
A senior employee of the Dutch Justice Ministry said the jihadist group ISIS was created by Zionists seeking to give Islam a bad reputation.
Yasmina Haifi, a project leader at the ministry’s National Cyber Security Center, made the assertion Wednesday on Twitter, the De Telegraaf daily reported.

“ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. It’s part of a plan by Zionists who are deliberately trying to blacken Islam’s name,” wrote Haifi ….

In March, Haaretz reported:
The Syrian opposition is willing to give up claims to the Golan Heights in return for cash and Israeli military aid against President Bashar Assad, a top opposition official told Al Arab newspaper, according to a report in Al Alam.
***
The Western-backed militant groups want Israel to enforce a no-fly zone over parts of southern Syria to protect rebel bases from air strikes by Assad’s forces, according to the report.

World Net Daily reports that the U.S. trained Islamic jihadis – who would later join ISIS – in Jordan.

The Jerusalem Post reports that an ISIS fighter says that Turkey funds the terrorist group. Turkey is a member of NATO and – at least until very recently – a close U.S. ally.

Wealthy donors in U.S. allies Kuwait and Qatar back ISIS, and Western intelligence officials say that those governments must be approving the support.
A former high-level Al Qaeda commander has repeatedly alleged that ISIS works for the CIA.

In June, investment adviser Jim Willie alleged:
The [Isis] troops that are working there [in Syria and Iraq] are Langley [i.e. CIA] troops. They’re trained, funded, and armed by Langley.

What I’m hearing… the U.S. military (Pentagon regulars), and you have to be careful when you refer to U.S. military anymore. What kind of U.S. military? Is it the Pentagon U.S. Army, or is it the Langley military, which has unmarked uniforms and 10′s of thousands of mercenaries?

They’re about to encounter each other in Iraq. The U.S. military Pentagon regulars evacuated Iraq, and what filled the vacuum was the Langley mercenaries, trained for Syria, that migrated South and announced their new agenda.

If and when the Pentagon regulars encounter the Langley mercenaries in Iraq, Obama’s going to get a house call, because U.S. military will be fighting U.S. military. Pentagon vs. Langley.

While we don’t know which of the above-described allegations are true, two things are certain:
The U.S. armed Islamic jihadis in Syria, and their weapons ended up in the hands of ISIS; and
Close allies of the U.S. have supported and trained the ISIS terrorists

Why would the U.S. and its allies back ISIS, when they are barbarian Islamic terrorists? Well – assuming it’s true – oil and gas could be the explanation.
After all, there is evidence that the U.S. and her allies have wanted to break up the nations of Iraq and Syria for decades. And ISIS has done so.

In any event – whether or not it’s true of ISIS – it’s well-documented that the U.S., Saudis and Israelis have been backing the world’s most dangerous and radical Muslim terrorists for decades. And see this.

And anyone who looks at the battle against ISIS as a religious war is being played.

I'm not a fan of publicizing something like this, but the chickenshit kill is a bit over the top. That's what snipers do. They neutralize targets and often save lives as a result.

It's a weird kind of photo op., granted, that one of our soldiers killed someone 3-1/2 kilometes away with a single shot. The "score keeping" aspect is ghoulish. On the other hand, Canadians rarely acknowledge their armed forces and the jobs that they do on behalf of the rest of us. That is what soldiers have to do, sometimes ... kill people.

Given that this shot was taken by a member of the JTF2, I doubt the bragging came from the member or even the unit. More likely word went through the outlying ranks and found its way to a member of the media.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What alternate universe are you living in? Americans pay taxes to defend Canada. We pay taxes to under-fund our military, buy used garbage that isn't even serviceable (British subs anyone?), cancel much needed helicopters while funneling a half a billion dollars towards the development of the F-35 Thunderjunk, and now even some of our active military personnel have to rely on food banks. We had plans for armed icebreakers for the Arctic that ultimately got turned into unarmed slushpushers, making them about as useful as a sandbox in the desert. As well as the rest of our navy that barely has the equipment to stave off an attack on an Olympic size swimming pool, and we have THREE bloody oceans off our coasts.
What exactly did you think your tax dollars were actually paying for, defence-wise?
