How does Sir Richard Dannatt's statements harm down the Irag civilians war against UK soldiers?
Are the statements helpful to Wall Street, petrolium products companies, media companies and other products related to the war and post war products and marketing?
Answer:
Are you seriously suggesting that General Sir Richard Dannatt, the Chief of the General Staff, might have said that the Iraq war is a total disaster which is destroying the British Army and causing more harm than good to the security situation in Iraq and its neighbours because he wants to somehow affect post-war markets? Because he thinks he could make a profit out of it once Britain withdraws from the war? That is too bizarre to be taken seriously. Consider that he might have said those things simply because they are true.
Helpful to soldiers? Undoubtedly. The soldiers now know they have someobody at the top who understands their situation.That goes for their families too.
Helpful to Iraqi civilians? I don't know. It would have been helpful to Iraqi civilians if we had never invaded. Yes, Saddam was a murderous lunatic, but I doubt that he was killing Iraqis at quite the rate they are dying now.
The awful truth is that we cannot win in Iraq. One of two things will happen. Either there will be another "strong man" who holds the country together in an iron grip of terror, or it will shatter into at least three parts. Both of those alternatives ends in bloodshed and suffering for the people of Iraq. Staying there will only prolong and postpone that agony, not prevent it.
His comments are the result of an extremely frustrating and desperate period in which the military has tried to get the political side, the Labour Party, to think about the consequences of its policies. We are seeing all over the place the bad consequences of their policies. He is brave and may personally lose his job because of it. It is time other civil servants spoke out against the government. What is giving help to our enemies is doing all the things they expected us to do (falling into the trap of attacking the middle east).
