Now UK Prime Minister G. Brown’s new team includes David Miliband as Foreign Secretary, who is known as strong attacker against war in Iraq. But our experts’ prognoses of possible changes in UK foreign-policy strategy, concerned to Iraq, have turned out to be fallacious.
Such powerful instrument of pressure to British leaders as US manually operated Al-Qaida was left out of their consideration. See for yourself! Right after recent abortive acts of terror in London Gordon Brown has stated that surely “UK government has to deal with those, who are directly linked with Al-Qaida”.
And although he has not explained what his words implied, it is obvious for me that such US “arguments” had the same effect on UK Cabinet as on recent Merkel’s decisions, connected with her refusal to increase military personnel in the south of Afghanistan. They say Washington (thanks to help of US controllable Al-Qaida) has managed to get Merkel to listen to reason. To prevent terrorist actions, planned to be carried out in Germany and in the north of Afghanistan (sector of German responsibility in Afghanistan), German Chancellor had to change her previous point of view and to send scout planes “Tornado” to the south of Afghanistan.
