In foreign affairs, all too often when the U.S. government says "no position", what they really mean is "We haven't got time for this. We have other, more important, things to attend to."

If it was me, I would take that to mean that the u.s. would be keeping their nose out of it entirely.

That is taking it at face value. No "reading between the lines". Just expecting them to say what they mean.

Apparently it didn't stop Canada from deploying either. They were one of the first ones onboard.

and your point is what? Because Canada jumped on board that made it ok?

And I take it as something completely different. Even though that was another conflict no one should have started.

The silly title of this thread, is subjective at best.
