On motives

A couple of quick questions for those covering Deceivin' Stephen's latest machinations on Afghanistan.

Might it be worth challenging Harper as to why he feels the need to make the forthcoming Afghanistan extension vote a matter of confidence when he didn't do the same on exactly the same issue in 2006, rather than simply assuming that what Harper decides can't be criticized?

And if, as seems likely, Harper's decision is driven solely by partisan calculation, then shouldn't the Cons' patent lack of principle when it comes to Afghanistan (or any other issue) be an important part of any coverage?
