The head of the British Army during the invasion of Iraq has blasted the United States for its handling of the aftermath, a newspaper reported Saturday.
General Sir Mike Jackson laid into the then US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld in a stinging attack, said The Daily Telegraph, which is to serialise his forthcoming autobiography, “Soldier”.<>
Jackson branded US policy after the March 2003 invasion “intellectually bankrupt” and slammed Rumsfeld’s claim that US forces “don’t do nation-building” as “nonsensical.”
Jackson said Rumsfeld was “one of the most responsible for the current situation in Iraq.”
The comments are likely to fuel the tensions over Iraq between allies Britain and the United States. (afp/dar)
