Another British General raises questions regarding US Iraq policy.
Just days after Gen Sir Mike Jackson, head of the British Army during the invasion, told the Daily Torygraph that he thought the US policy was "intellectually bankrupt" Maj Gen Tim Cross, who was the most senior UK officer involved in post-war planning, told the Sunday Mirror that US policy was "fatally flawed".
Maj-Gen Cross said: "We were all very concerned about the lack of detail that had gone into the post-war plan."
So, it appears that the most senior ranks in the British Army were skeptical of the plans success. Odd then that they would sign off on it and commit thousands of British Military personnel to a plan that was bankrupt and flawed. Strange that, rather than resigning in protest at the time, a move that may have prevented this calamity, they wait until a book deal is signed after retirement to publicly raise these concerns.
Seems that British Generals have a lot in common with their US counterparts
