第二位将军公然反对对于战后伊拉克的美国’态度，升高美国和英国的看法之间的区别在战争。
少将麦克十字架昨天增加了到评论由英国的军队的头在伊拉克期间，麦克·杰克逊的先生将军入侵，指责美国战争建筑师Donald Rumsfeld作为有“智力上破产”方法到战争。
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.
