The cynicism of old soldiers

The BBC reports:
The head of the British army during the Iraq invasion has said US post-war policy was "intellectually bankrupt".
In a Daily Telegraph interview, former chief of the general staff, Gen Sir Mike Jackson, added that US strategy had been "short-sighted".

Could it be that the timing of this attack has something to do with the fact that his autobiography is about to be published, an autobiography which is - surprise, surprise - to be serialised by The Telegraph?
