BBC News: Reports that General Sir Richard Dannatt, recent head of the UK Army has stated that UK PM Brown would not back up troops on the ground in Afghanistan. This outspoken negative view of PM Gordon Brown does recall the recent statements of General McChrystal and his not to subtle attack on the idea of VP Biden for the US to reduce its footprint in Afghanistan and use drones to attack Al Qaeda in Pakistan. One gets the impression that both US and UK military services are not going to take the fall for their Lords and Masters should Afghanistan fail. In other words its simple, the military is telling the President or PM " Follow Our Advice on Afghanistan or its YOUR Fault if we LOOSE " Lets see what President Obama does, if he does not follow the McChrystal advice its his war, if he is right he gets the applause but if he is wrong he will will not get re-elected and the Democratic Party will be out of Office for more than twelve years this time, Obama makes Carter look tough, he is more Hamlet that Ronald Reagan.
