A second retired British general has lambasted the United States over its Iraq
policy, saying it bungled the aftermath of the invasion.

Major General Tim Cross, the most senior UK officer involved in the post-war
planning, said Washington's policy had been "fatally flawed".

He also insisted he had raised serious concerns about the possibility of the
country sliding into chaos with Donald Rumsfeld - but the then-US defence
secretary "dismissed" the warnings.

I have to say, I do admire our military for their candour.

It's such a shame the Americans don't 'get it'.

Sorry. I have no idea how this was double posted.

Only four years later with a new prime minister and it's candour all
around.

Have your eyes and ears been closed all this time ?

I should ask you the same thing. I've discussed disastrous war planning,
including disbanding the Iraqi army, several times on this group.

I apologise if I have previously missed your input on this subject.

Whenever I get depressed about the state of affairs in the US...
I read stuff like this and suddenly, it's not so bad, it's not so bad.
