Britain's military boss Sir Jock Stirrup today gave evidence to the Iraq Inquiry. Commenting, Nick Harvey (Liberal Democrat Shadow Defence Secretary) said: "Sir Jock Stirrup's comments demonstrate that Labour irresponsibly overstretched our forces and endangered the mission in Afghanistan.
"This is yet more evidence that the Government's pursuit of this disastrous war recklessly endangered the lives of our service men and women.
"The invasion of Iraq should never have gone ahead. But having done so, the least the Government could have done was ensure that our troops were properly equipped. Instead, they ignored the warnings of military commanders.
