The Times: Reports on the latest political problems that Afghanistan is causing for UK PM Gordon Brown, its helicopters again and the lack of UK helicopters in theatre to transport our troops. Its simple folks, PM Brown when he was UK Chancellor of the Exchequer cut spending of helicopters, Brown is not a military leader, he is no Churchill or Thatcher, he does not have a clue when it comes to military affairs, one can argue his economic record is worse, he was Chancellor when the origins of the present economic crisis started, thus on the two most important issues facing the UK, the economy and Afghanistan we have a PM out of his comfort zone, the UK has another eight months of a weak government and even worse a weak PM.
