Not only do they not seem to have enough resources on the ground in Iraq, they are putting an unwarranted burden upon Canada regarding their "terrorist threat" in the US.

Today a regular flight from the UK? to New York had a terrorist alert warning go off in flight, just before it got to the US. The US closed their airspace to the commercial airliner and it was forced to land in Canada instead.

I can just imagine the senario....ooh! ooh, get 'em away from us! Go land the plane in Canada and let it blow up up their airports instead!

This was an American problem and the Canadians were left to deal with it in order to rescue the passengers and crew. Fortunately it turned out to be a false alarm and the Canadian team that borded the plane came to no harm either.

Can you imagine what would have happened if this flight had been bound for Canada and Canada had closed its airspace and sent the flight to the US instead? Yeah....right. LOL
