Insurgents in Iraq are right to try to force US troops out of the country, a former British army commander has said.
Gen Sir Michael Rose also told the BBC's Newsnight programme that the US and the UK must "admit defeat" and stop fighting "a hopeless war" in Iraq.

"Sir Michael has written a book drawing similarities between the tactics of insurgents and George Washington's men in America's War of Independence."
AHA! He's got a book he needs to pimp.

The “insurgents” fight against Iraqi citizens. They are akin to the KKK in the Reconstruction South after the US “Civil War” except these “insurgents” come from other countries to wage jihad in Iraq.
This man is an idiot and a traitor. Hope the Brits hang him like they hung Lord Haw Haw, the British Nazi propagandist and antisemite.

The British never have figured out why we wanted independence have they? There is absolutely no similarity between the insurgents and the American Revolution.
