Guardian Article Misrepresents the Advisers' View (http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2007/03/guardian-article-misrepresents/) - Dave Kilcullen at the Small Wars Journal Blog.
Today’s Guardian article (“Military Chiefs Give US Six Months to Win Iraq War (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/129215.html)”) misrepresents the Baghdad advisers. So much so, it makes me doubt the reliability of the single, unidentified source responsible for much of the article’s reporting.
I hope SWJ colleagues will forgive this more "personal" post than usual, but as Senior Counterinsurgency Adviser I have a duty to set the record straight on this...
As with all SWJ Blog posts - please comment on the blog as well as here. Also, take a minute to visit Real Clear Politics (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/readerarticles/?period=all) and vote on this blog entry if you see fit.
Thanks,
Dave D.
