Bloody War

A FORMER head of the Armed Forces has launched a scathing attack on the Ministry of Defence over its handling of the war in Afghanistan.
General Lord Charles Guthrie said our brave servicemen and women were starved of single-minded leadership because of ministers who "sit frozen in indecision".

The former UK Chief of Defence Staff said: "Britain is at war, but one would never know it walking around Whitehall. For too many politicians it is merely another day of awkward things happening in far away places.

"The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan appear no more than inconvenient blips - something to be muddled through until things return to normal."
