Tony Blair faced a devastating attack yesterday as one of his most trusted
military commanders described Britain's mission in southern Afghanistan as
'cuckoo'.

General Lord Guthrie, former head of the UK armed forces and a close confidante
of the Prime Minister, poured scorn on his recent pledge to give army chiefs in
Afghanistan 'anything' they needed.

On Tony Blair's recent pledge to give the Army "anything it wants", Lord Guthrie
said: "There is no way you can magic up trained Royal Air Force crews, or
trained soldiers, quickly.

"You can't magic up helicopters, because there aren't any helicopters."

All they need to do is cover Afghanistan with CCTV , just like they do
in the UK.

This will stop a lot of the social problems, and empty the jails, just
like in the UK
