(Sept. 14) -- In an admission more befitting of a satirical film, Col. Tim Collins, who led his Royal Irish regiment into Iraq at the outset of the war, told a British inquiry team today that his superiors had "absolutely no idea" what to do after the invasion.
"I rather thought that there would be some sort of plan and the government had thought this through, and I was clearly wrong," he said. "It became very apparent to me shortly after crossing the border that the government and many of my superiors had no idea what they were doing."
Collins was paid a visit at the army base in Tidworth, Wiltshire, as part of the Chilcot inquiry, the government's ongoing investigation into Britain's involvement in the 2003 Iraq invasion. Previously, Collins was best known for his inspirational speech to his troops on the eve of war. {read rest}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
