Three Canadian soldiers were killed and two were wounded in southern Afghanistan late on Tuesday when their armored vehicle triggered a roadside bomb, military officials said on Wednesday.

The incident took place in Arghandab district around six miles (10 km) northwest of Kandahar as the troops were conducting security operations. Canada has now lost 111 soldiers since sending forces to Afghanistan in late 2002.

1. Thanks Bush - Thanks Harper - wasting our young where we do not belong

.

I don't remember Afghanistan attacking Canada . . .

From the article:

"More than 2,000 NATO soldiers from several different countries turned out for the solemn farewell as each flag-draped casket was carried on to a waiting military transport plane. "

2. Thank President Obama

it is his war now. Just like the day when LBJ left the white house in early 1969 and it became Nixon's war. Every flag draped coffin, ever wounded soldier, every dead or maimed Vietnamese villager was the responsibility of RMN. So it now with President Obama. Ever flag draped coffin, every wounded soldier, ever dead or maimed Iraqi or Afghani is his responsibility. That is the responsibility he accepted on inauguration day.

The World is watching how he will handle them.

Barack - please impress me
