Good let the everyone send some police support. Instead of limiting investment opportunities to the Coalition of the Willing, we should limit it in proportion to a nation's contribution to help rebuild.

The cheapest way to the end game here, a stable growing Iraq with a representative government, is to attract as much foreign investment as possible. It seems the USA would prefer less direct charity to Iraq and more investment by most company willing to put their money into Iraq.

Until Iraq has a functioning stable government how are investment funds going to be attracted?

If we can reduce our resources allocated to police Iraq it will free up these resources for other pressing threats to the region like Syria.

Yes, I am very pleased that Canada has offered RCMP to help restore order in Iraq. Canada has a real contribution to make, real capabilities, I hope the offer is accepted.

BTW, I would be surprised if Condor doesn't like this. It is a very traditional roll for Canada, very much a part of our Canadian identity. It will be very popular in Canada.
