第二位將軍公然反對對於戰後伊拉克的美國』態度，升高美國和英國的看法之間的區別在戰爭。
少將麥克十字架昨天增加了到評論由英國的軍隊的頭在伊拉克期間，麥克・傑克遜的先生將軍入侵，指責美國戰爭建築師Donald Rumsfeld作為有「智力上破產」方法到戰爭。
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.
