Toronto Star editorial overlooks Canada's war

A Toronto Star story on the US presidential campaign has this helpful box:

U.S. contenders on Afghan mission

Hillary Clinton: The forgotten frontline in the war on terror is Afghanistan, where our military effort must be reinforced. The Taliban cannot be allowed to regain power in Afghanistan; if they return, Al Qaeda will return with them. We must strengthen the national and local governments and resolve problems along Afghanistan's border.

Barack Obama: We must refocus our efforts on Afghanistan and Pakistan – the central front in our war against Al Qaeda. Success in Afghanistan is possible, but only if we act quickly, judiciously and decisively. We should pursue an integrated strategy that reinforces our troops in Afghanistan and works to remove the limitations placed by some NATO allies on their forces.

John McCain: Our commitment to Afghanistan must include increasing NATO forces, suspending the debilitating restrictions on when and how those forces can fight, expanding the training and equipping of the Afghan National Army through a long-term partnership with NATO to make it more professional and multiethnic, and deploying significantly more foreign police trainers.

Mitt Romney: The jihad is much broader than any one nation, or even several nations. It is broader than the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Radical Islam has one goal: to replace all modern Islamic states with a worldwide caliphate while destroying the United States and converting non-believers, forcibly if necessary, to Islam.

Foreign Affairs magazine

The Democrats indeed appear more gung ho than the Republicans. A Star editorial--the same day--on the campaign mentions however only another war:

...
The same holds true for the war. Obama appeals to Americans in a hurry by promising to pull troops from Iraq by March 31, 2009. Clinton would bring them home during her first term, over four years. McCain and Romney both reject deadlines, although McCain argues that Romney previously advocated a timetable...

"The" war? Why is there no mention of the Afghan war? Surely Canadians (or at least Torontonians) would benefit from the Star's summary of the candidates' approach to that war too. Especially the muscular approach of the Democrats.
