[Sorry - when even Kommandant Harper says "we" can't win the war, it's embarrassing to post to a thread on a left-wing board that calls it a "stalemate."]

A deadly blast that killed three Afghan children was caused by an improvised explosive device, not Canadian munitions, military officials said Monday. ...The three children were killed following a blast on Feb. 23 near the village of Salehan, about 15 kilometres southwest of Kandahar city.
Demonstrators shouted "Death to Canada" and "Death to America" as the blood-spattered bodies of two of the children were carted off to the gates of the Kandahar governor's guest house. One other child later died.
A Panjwaii district elder had claimed the blast was the result of an unexploded Canadian mortar the victims found in a field where they were scavenging for scrap metal.
Well, that's a relief.
