The head of the British Army, Sir Richard Dannatt, is laying a few blows on Her Majesty's Government over the lack of resources (helicopters etc) in Afghanistan
to help our troops. Apparently, New Labour sources are muttering about possibly Sir Richard being "political". I suppose there is a fine line between "fighting your corner" and being openly disloyal.
UK Premier Gordon Brown looked absolutely awful yesterday in front of the Defence Select Committee by trying to avoid giving a direct answer. Apparently, Defence Minister
Bob Ainsworth is 21 out of 23 Labour portfolio holders and gives mediocrity a bad name according to Jeff Randall in today's Daily Telegraph. There have been five defence secretaries since 2005.
If I was Brown, I would have blamed the NATO allies for not stumping up combat troops
such as the Germans just to divert attention.
