CANADA VOWS TO PULL TROOPS
"You have to put an end date on these things,"
=======================

Canada's prime minister vowed Wednesday to pull troops from Afghanistan in 2011, saying for the first time that Canadian forces will leave that country.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has been a steadfast ally of President Bush in the post-Sept. 11 fight against the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan, said Canadians do not want to keep soldiers in Afghanistan beyond then and that 10 years of war were enough.
"You have to put an end date on these things," Harper said. "We intend to end it"
