Canadians in fire fight with ISIS
The Associated Press reports that Canadian soldiers assisting the Iraqis in beating back the Islamic State came under fire from those ISIS forces yesterday while in a planning session with Kurdish and Iraqi commanders near the front;
[Brigadier General Michael Rouleau, commander of special operations command] said the Canadians used sniper fire and “neutralized” the machine gun and mortar without taking any casualties.
“My troops had completed a planning session with senior Iraqi leaders several kilometers behind the front lines,” Rouleau said. “When they moved forward to confirm the planning at the front lines in order to visualize what they had discussed over a map, they came under immediate and effective mortar and machine gun fire.”
The general said that while Canadian soldiers are not participating in active combat, they have the right to fire back if fired upon.
Funny how the enemy has a say in whether you have “boots on the ground” or not, isn’t it?

But, but, they used sniper fire to neutralize the threat and protect friendlies?
Michael Whore will be very disappointed…
The Canadians have disappointed Mikey Fatass? My God! They must be devastated! How can they ever live with themselves?

I’d pay to see Canadian badass Rob Furlong spend five minutes with that fat bastard. Something along the lines of, “So all snipers are cowards, eh? Ya got the balls to say that to my face, eh?”
Wait a minute, I thought Obama declared something or other in ’11 and the war was over?
Hope and Change and all that
