Re: General Sir Michael Rose calls for Tony Blair's Impeachment

I heard the piece in "Today" and have listened during the day for any follow-up. Nix! I think this is due, less to the lack of pictures, but to the diminished stature of the armed services and their chiefs in the esteem of the great unwashed and the media. In fact no one gives a XXXX for the views of some retired old fart of a general. Now, if he had been a private soldier (or an NCO or junior officer) and complained of the inadequacy of his weapons and equipment, he would have caused a bit of a stir. It might have been more effective if CDS (or even CDI) had resigned when the "dodgy dossier" was published.
