A SHOT DUCK BEFORE IT EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO FLY- VANITY FAIR’S ARTICLE ENTITLED THE NIGHT OF THE GENERALS ON HOW SOE US GENERALS CAME OUT AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR

“Truth will out” is a wonderful old saying and provided you live long enough, most truths do come out to be seen.

So it is with the disastrous move by the USA, ourselves and the Poms in entering Iraq on what has been shown to be completely dishonest circumstances. Where that move becomes even more futile is seen after having read the article in Vanity Fair magazine entitled The Night of the Generals

It takes you through just what drove six or seven very high ranking US Army officers to say “enough is enough” (at the cost of their military careers) and it takes you behind the scenes of how decisions were made by Bush, Rumsfeld and Co”.

It is a long article, which is why I have provided the hyperlink above but it is an article, if you have any interest in the Iraq debacle, that I believe you should read.

My real hope is that one day Messrs Bush, Howard and Blair will have a day of reckoning for their folly which has lead to so much death and destruction, especially of the Iraqi people and their stupidity in being sucked into Iraq when the real battle ground against Bin Laden and his ilk has always been Afghanistan.
