Can't find a mention on here of the C4 programme, Despatches, last night, but that quite eloquently pointed out the holes in our mission objectives, and the lack of agreement between MoD, commanders, and politicos about what we should be attempting. Also pointed out that the US military are (or have become) more self-critical of their performance there, and maybe we should do the same.
CDS probably did not increase the size of his fan club last night.
