Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
LONDON, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his foreign secretary have reportedly warned the Bush administration that the war in Afghanistan is being lost.
Brown and Foreign Secretary David Miliband are unhappy with continued U.S. bombing of Afghan villages, its plan to spray opium poppy fields with herbicide and its relationship with President Hamid Karzai, The Times of London reports.
"The Americans see a bit of military success in Afghanistan and think it’s all fine," a source told the newspaper. "They are blinkered by Iraq and this is becoming symptomatic of a lack of serious engagement on policy."
U.S. officials fear Brown and Miliband want to disengage Britain from Iraq and become more involved in what they see as a "good war" in Afghanistan. The British decision to withdraw from Basra, handing over control of the city to Iraqi security forces, was also unpopular in Washington.
