UK PM Brown Makes Surprise Visit To Afghanistan
"For Gordon Brown to say he has given the military all they asked for is not true," they wrote in the Daily Telegraph. "They can not get away with saying, 'I gave them everything they asked for." That is simply disingenuous. "
Guthrie was the country's top military officer from 1997 to 2001. Brown was Chancellor of the Exchequer at that time - the man in charge of government spending.
"The Ministry of Defense received the bare minimum from the Chancellor, who wanted to give the Military as little as they could get away with," wrote Guthrie, who joined the House of Lords, the upper house of the British legislature, after Retiring from the military. He is not associated with a political party.
Brown's office told news outlets of his visit to Afghanistan while he was in the countryside but asked that it not be reported until they left. CNN complied with the request.Read More Story,http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/03/06/afghanistan.uk.brown.pm/
