More Anti-Americanism?

Now British generals have started to publicly criticise the way in which the American military and former Secretary for Defence Donald Rumsfelt have handled the war in Iraq - especially the aftermath. Sir Mike Jackson (pictured here) has particularly been critical of the lack of realistic planning on the Americans' part. He especially pointed out that the US government's belief in Iraq changing in an instant from dictatorship and tyranny - a police/military state - into a freedom loving democracy was merely a pipedream.
In response the American government has (through inderict means) been extremely critical of the British behaviour in Basra - effectively claiming we've given up the South of Iraq to warlords and militia, and certain that the British will 'cut and run'. Oh - how different it was when Tony Blair was the only real supporter of George W and the neo cons of the US administration.
