Who's Having a Good/Bad War ?
Nominee for a good War prize is Air Marshal Brian Burridge, the commander of the British forces in the Gulf. I have just read an interview he has given to reporters; an extract reads:
" The UK media has lost the plot. You stand for nothing, you support nothing, you criticise, you drip. It's a spectator sport to criticise anybody or anything, and what the media says fuels public expectation. That may sound harsh, but that's the way it feels from where I sit."
I find it difficult to disagree with any of that;indeed, he has encapsulated my feelings to the proverbial T.
Hopefully, his military, or political, masters back in the UK wont slap him down.
