Six months before the 2003 American-led invasion of Iraq, Field
Marshal The Lord Bramall warned that an operation to remove Saddam
Hussain would produce a display of massive, dynamic United States
activity which provides one of the mainsprings of motivation for
terrorist action in the Middle East and, far from advancing the
'war on terrorism', it would make matters infinitely worse. 'Dwin'
Bramall rose from platoon commander in the Second World War to
become professional head of the Army and then Chief of the Defence
Staff. His reputation for a sharp mind combined with an engagingly
persuasive manner led to his rapid rise through every level of
command. As Chief of the Defence Staff 1982-85, he sought to turn
the minds of the single service chiefs away from their fixation
with the Soviet threat and towards the growing challenges to
Britain's security and national interests arising in the Middle
East and Asia. Now a House of Lords cross-bencher, he continues to
speak against the failure of successive governments to provide
adequate support for the nation's security and argues for the much
closer co-ordination of foreign and defence policy.
