More Tea Leaves on the Post-2011 Mission`

The clarity and continuity of what Canada's going to do in Afghanistan post-2011 continues.

From Canada's ROCK, Ben Rowswell:

“The [Provincial Reconstruction Team] is part of the international presence and there has been no discussion of the international presence coming to an end in 2011.”

From an anonymous “senior Canadian government official”:

“I couldn’t say firmly that we’re going to do training post-2011 …. There’s part of the training that can be in combat. There’s part of the training that’s not in combat.”

Hello? The troops have been ordered to start packing and we still don't know what's going to happen down the road?

Prepare for "hurry up and wait" syndrome...

More self-indulgent whining here.
