"The late-night show, “Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld,” featured a panel that took turns bashing Canada. One panelist said he didn’t even know Canada had troops in Afghanistan and another said the only reason the military could pull its troops out of the NATO-led mission was because it relies heavily for security on the United States."


Id just like to say a big FUCK YOU to Red eye and fox news. There ya go I feel better now.
Just happens that I was at the  highway of heros  watching four of our boys being repatriated..so Im a little upset anyway

I pray to the sky gods quite often, asking them to intervene and cause a pretty significant rift between the Canadian, British and US Governments/politicians that would ensure the UK and Canada are no longer willing participants militarily as it pertains to the United States' version of colonialism, ala the '' War on Terror.

Fox and their devoted followers will one day brag about the support the U.S. receives and the next day criticize the U.N. and NATO.

What was said on that show was stupid and an apology was issued.  What Obama said on Leno was also stupid and an apology was issued.  I'm not sure what else should be done....although it seems that some liberals would not mind having everyone at Fox lined up before a firing squad, just as some conservatives would like to see the same happen to most people at CNN and MSNBC.

heres from the news story
OTTAWA — They bashed the Canadian military but an American TV host and his guest were forced into a strategic retreat Monday in the face of a national uproar. A Fox News host issued an apology over a talk-show segment described by the Canadian government as "despicable" and "disgusting."

It's on a bunch of blogs, give it a day.  It'll probably percolate up by then.

The non-apologetic apology is an art well mastered, unfortunately  . Eight years of practice. Lucy... have a stiff one. It'll help with your blood pressure  .
