TALEBAN fighters killed three Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, military officials said yesterday, bringing to 93 the number killed there since Canada sent troops in 2002.
The three were killed on Wednesday by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, where 2,500 Canadians are based.

Wally,

yesterday we were led to believe that 10 French soldiers were killed by Taliban. But then we read in Le Monde that it was US forces that killed those 10 French soldiers. The french were out on patrol and got attacked. They waited & waited & waited for help that took hours to arrive. Finally it arrived by air. But unfortunately, they killed 10 French soldiers by mistake.

Are we similarly mis-led on these 3 Canadian deaths?

#2..Wally is a Conspiracy Theorist Nut.. His biggest lie is that he is an American. You can go all the way back to at least a year ago, and you will see that every word said about the US is denigrating. If milk comes from cows, then he would find a way to find a conspiracy in that sentence. He is here for 1 reason, and that is to aggrevate others with his nonesense. He is an ultra left wing nutcase.
The death of the French soldiers was not an act of friendly fire, although Wally would have you believe that. Go to other sources you trust, because you can't trust him.
