Harper Stresses Commitment to 2011 Canadian Troop Withdrawal from Afghanistan
Peter Cassata | October 08, 2008Speaking Tuesday on Canada's plans to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in 2011, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the country was not avoiding any duties by sticking to the timeline. According to Reuters, he stated, "I don't think it's viable, knowing the history of Afghanistan, what we know about it, to believe that foreigners are going to be able to run Afghanistan or Afghan security on an ongoing basis."
The remarks echo recent comments from the outgoing commander of UK forces in Afghanistan that cast doubt on the chances of a conclusive victory over the Taliban. Canada heads into a general election on October 14.
