This news on Iraq — In an article published in the Army magazine Military Review, a senior British officer has written a scathing review of the US military performance in Iraq. This according to the Washington Post. British Brigadier Nigel Aylwin-Foster, who was deputy commander of a program to train the Iraqi military, said American officers in Iraq showed “cultural insensitivity” to such a degree that it “arguably amounted to institutional racism” and “exacerbated the task it now faces by alienating significant sections of the population.”
