Harper goes prorogue

Careful management of spending during this economic slowdown which could still turn worse is very important. The war in Afghanistan is very expensive. We don't know how expensive, because Harper has denied access to this information to protect himself from embarrassment.

I whole hearty supported Canada's mission to bring good governance to Afghanistan. Only through good governance can win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people required for stability and lasting peace.

It is estimated that Canada will spend about $20 billion U.S. on defence this year. Again because Harper has denied access to military spending information it is impossible to know if this money has been spent efficiently or wasted corruptly. Lack of spending transparency presents a major temptation for both Canadian military and Canadian government service corruption. We need a substantial military force in Afghanistan in order to provide security during the good governance mentored process. With reduced corruption the Afghan government would be able to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people and police itself.

Our mission in Afghanistan has been sabotaged by our government complete failing in mentored good governance in Afghan. Our government under Harper failed to establish an Afghan independent anti-corruption commission required to route out corruption within the Afghan government, justice and prevent torture. In effect the act of routing out corruption within the Afghan government and justice required to prevent torture would have met Canada would have fulfilled its mission to bring good governance relatively free of corruption to Afghanistan.

Harper cannot deny the fact that he has actively disregarded our mission in Afghanistan to mentor Afghan in the good governance. Instead Harper with his complacent support of torture and legal corruption within the Afghan government, he must hid the facts and dismiss them as irrelevant. Harper's government refused to correct the prisoner transfer agreement problems they were made aware of by Dawn Black in April 2006. By this self denial, Harper's leadership actively disregarded our mission in Afghanistan to mentor Afghan in the good governance. Instead under Harper's leadership, those who have acted corruptly committing and allowing torture have been protected. Harper's leadership has in effect supported a corrupt Afghan government. Harper has called a prorogue in order to delay international required public investigation into the Afghan torture. Harper's Government is complicit in the Afghan torture which makes it accountable as war criminals.

Without the Canadian Government lead by Harper performing its required political role, our military has been crippled. The decision to mostly ignore the drug dealers, torture and other corruption has been a strategic blunder. Rebellion against the corruption within the Afghan Government gives the Taliban more than enough support. We have wasted the lives of Canadians who has died trying to bring lasting peace and security to Afghanistan. We have wasted untold billions, because Harper was/is unwilling to listen. We have wasted what was probably our only chance to bring lasting peace to Afghanistan and reduce the threat of terrorist who feed on the misery and corruption.

To quote news from Afghanistan.

FOB Jackson is currently home to Battle group headquarters for 2 Rifles. The area around the river is called the “Green Zone,” but just as appropriately could be called the Opium Zone. During season, the area is covered with colorful poppies, whose 2009 products are probably showing up by now on the streets in Europe. European money flows back here and buys fertilizer in the Sangin Market, which can be used to make bombs, produce more opium, get more money and make more bombs and grow more opium and make more money and bombs and grow more opium. Sangin is at once an ATM and weapons bazaar for the enemy. Nearly all fatalities in this unit have been caused by fertilizer bombs. The decision to mostly ignore the drug dealers has been a strategic blunder.
