Whoa! That’s practically a battalion. Or something." "I’m really alarmed by how dumb John McCain is." A few ways to look at these numbers and how "dumb" they are: 1. The US has about 10 times the population as Canada, so their troop commitment per capita is similar to our own. 2. If the Canadians decide to withdraw their troops, then that's 2,500 more troops that someone else has to send. There are few other countries volunteering. Obama has admitted as much that he's just posturing on NAFTA to placate the hard left primary voters. Considering this is just posturing, then it is pretty irresponsible to jerk around an alley whose support you need. “Canada has 2,500 troops serving in Afghanistan along with 29,000 U.S. soldiers.

Like he's not just Bush-level dumb, but more to a degree that I have to wonder if his mental faculties are slipping. I’m really alarmed by how dumb John McCain is.
