UK General Attacks US Iraq Policy

The US Department of Defence said: "Divergent viewpoints are a hallmark of open, democratic societies." Sir Mike told the Daily Telegraph that Mr Rumsfeld's claim that US forces "don't do nation-building" was "nonsensical". He criticised the decision to hand control of planning the administration of Iraq after the war to the Pentagon. He also described the disbanding of the Iraqi army and security forces after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein as "very short-sighted". "We should have kept the Iraqi security services in being and put them under the command of the coalition," he said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/uk/6973618.stm The cracks are starting to show!
