Lot of criticism about Mulcair here. But as a leader of an opposition party he has a duty to point out this discrepancy about combat or non combat role. It does show we are not there in a defensive role only. That seems to be fine by many. But should that not be passed through parliament first? Surely everyone agrees that we should defeat ISIS. But what will happen after that? It becomes obvious now that there will a second round to all of this. Are we going to  stay involved and on whose behalf will we fighting then? There will be no happy solution to this whole conflict and I only hope we know when to exit before being stuck in an unwinnable conflict with no end in sight.
