US 'frustrated' with UK in Basra

[Setarime]

A senior United States military adviser has expressed "frustration" at British forces in southern Iraq.
Gen Jack Keane, architect of the US "surge", said the British are more focussed on training Iraqi troops than controlling "deteriorating" security.

He added that there is a "general disengagement" by UK forces in Basra.

[stubacca68]

AS you all know I have served out there! and I would say that the Brits are doing a great job under extreme oppostion from extremists, in terrible conditions and heat, peace was pretty close whilst i was there and then (no disrespect to our cousins from over the pond on here) heavy handed americans did their worse to ruin it for us Brits in the South and the have suceeded and you say HB what happened to supporting your allies! they will probably make films about the conflict saying how great they are and crap we are but hey nothing new there, after all they won WW2 not us and definatley not a combined effort. Sorry if i have upset any of our friends from the USA but this is my opinion
