Ex-Army chief blames US Iraq errors
Updated on 21 December 2008
A former head of the British Army has claimed that "appalling" judgments by the US may have doubled the time it has taken to get Iraq into its current position.
General Sir Mike Jackson accused Washington of fuelling violence after the invasion by disbanding local security forces and rooting Baath party members out of public administration roles.
His comments, in The Sunday Telegraph, came after Gordon Brown announced plans on Wednesday for the final drawdown of British troops from Iraq six years after they went in.
