Mark Urban blames Anti War protesters for Iraq War
Divide & Rule | 27.04.2009 12:10 | Iraq
Mark Urban is the Diplomatic Editor of the BBC's Newsnight programme. Urban was formerly defence correspondent at the Independent. He served in the British Army, for nine months as a regular officer and four years in the Territorials. He has hosted a series of virtual reality war games on the BBC, Time Commanders, re-enacting key battles.
Mark Urban wrote: "While many (UK opponents of the Iraq war) may feel vindicated by what subsequently happened, it was their hand wringing and magnification of every set back or mis-step that played a key role in undermining the political will to achieve more in southern Iraq... Once British troops were engaged, the success of their mission should have become an issue of broad national consensus."
