The neverending mess that is "Bush's War" ...

The fissures are widening now

I guess if Blair will not stand-up for his Country, then Dannatt will.

Good on him. He is quite right you know; the long-range planning for the Iraq occupation was naive. Blair could have interviewed one of the many Arabologists in England in order to procure better guidance and advice. Someone needed to counter the American ignorance on such matters, and it should have been the British Prime Minister.

As well, as much as I think the young Princes should be able to serve in active theatres, I do not believe that potentially sacrificing them for the sake of Bush & Cheney is a particularly noble venture. It is not a good use of their nobility at all.
