Второй генералитет говорил вне против ориентация США' к post-war Ираку, heightening разницы между американскими и великобританскими взглядами на войне.
Главный генералитет Майк Крест добавил к комментариям вчера головкой великобританской армии во время нашествия Ирака, генералитета господина Майк Джексон, который обвиняет архитектора Дональд Rumsfeld войны США как имеющ «интеллектуально bankrupt» подход к войне.
In comments to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, Maj Gen Cross said it was clear before the 2003 invasion that American leaders were certain that the Middle Eastern country would make a swift transition to stability.
“The US had already convinced themselves that Iraq would emerge reasonably quickly as a stable democracy,” the senior British planner for post-war Iraq was quoted as saying.
“Anybody who tried to tell them anything that challenged that idea - they simply shut it out.”
Maj Gen Jackson said Mr Rumsfeld “ignored” and “dismissed” his expressions of concern, adding that “with hindsight” he believed the US post-Saddam plan for Iraq was “fatally flawed”.
His comments echo those of Gen Jackson, who yesterday told the Telegraph newspaper that the American expectation of a warm welcome for the coalition forces was “an ideological article of faith” among planners.
He claimed that it had been assumed that the displacement of the dictator meant that “a model democratic society would inevitably emerge”.
Gen Jackson also criticised US foreign policy’s reliance on military force, revealed his doubts about the claims on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction and said the work of the US state department had been wasted because of a lack of interest from Mr Bush.
