OTTAWA — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday the U.S. would like Canada to remain in Afghanistan past 2011 and suggested the military could switch to a training role.

Canada's Parliament has mandated that the military mission in Kandahar end in 2011. Canada has about 2,900 troops there.

Clinton told CTV News on Monday that the U.S. would like Canada to keep some of its troops in Afghanistan.

"We would obviously like to see some form of support continue," Clinton said. "The military could switch more into a training role instead of a combat role, a logistics support role instead of the front-line combat."

1. Maybe we should tell the US that we've been allowing gays to serve openly for nearly 20 years...

...then will they let our troops go home?

And I agree with you about Harper folding.

3. Harper can't fold

Without the Liberals and NDP agreeing to it.
