    Firstly which army general worth his 'salt' would not ask for and want more troops!!! So there is nothing radical or eye opening about his comments.

    Secondly one now has to question his motives for speaking out publicly obviously they were self promoting and political in the hope of catapulting him into a second well paid career in politics.

    William Hague,who I have a lot of time for , when questioned today on TV refused to say whether the Tories,if elected, would send more troops or even helicopters to Afghanistan.
    " We will obviously assess the situation and blah blah blah"
    Is that a yes or no then?
    Repeat above answer.

    If they really are the govt-in-waiting why have they not already assessed the situation and said " Yes 8 more helicopters and 1000 extra troops as soon as we are in power" No a missed opportunity I feel and again highlights the promises an opposition party makes but when pressed start to backtrack.
