Statement by the Minister of National Defence on the Cancellation of a Planned Norad Military Exercise With Russia

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 14, 2008) - The Honourable Peter Gordon MacKay, Minister of National Defence and Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, issued the following statement today:

"In light of the current situation in Georgia, and after consultation with our American allies, we agreed that it would be inappropriate to go ahead with Exercise VIGILANT EAGLE, a planned combined NORAD-Russia military exercise that was scheduled to begin August 20, 2008.

We will assess participation in future such exercises as the situation evolves.

The Government of Canada's position on hostilities in Georgia was clearly stated by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I join with them in calling for Russia to fully respect the terms of the cease-fire and respect Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

We sincerely hope for an end to these hostilities, and for the safety of the civilian populations affected by this crisis."

Mikey.
You are the first line of defense..you and the young lad will be firing the bang sticks and the missus will be reloading..
We'll send re-enforcements...
The Russian regular troops are not the ones you worry about..it's the Russian militas they bring with them to do the dirty work,AFTER the regulars have put down the resistance..criminally insane ,given guns and ammo and sent in behind the regulars,to loot rape and murder..
Save the last one for yourself..
