Afghanistan: U.S., Canadian Troops Reflect On Fighting In Operation Anaconda: "Close to 500 Canadian troops from the Princess Patricia light infantry battalion took part in Anaconda. One soldier, Corporal Landon Perry, described his feelings as he was shuttled by helicopter into the combat zone. "It was a little unnerving," he said. "But once you hit the ground and see the number of troops out there and the massive air support, your confidence builds pretty quickly, and you feel fairly secure in what you're doing.""

Guardian Unlimited | World dispatch | Bush and Blair stand alone 'The recent US military operation, codenamed Anaconda, against al-Qaida and Taliban holdouts in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, involved a small number of troops from countries such as Norway and Germany. But theirs was a token presence, with the bulk of the fighting being done by Afghan and US forces.'

That's funny. Here in Canada we've been reading about how our soldiers were involved.

A good solution which should put an end to the criticism. Congrats all around.
