Watching GMTV over breakfast today I was extremely amused by their 'expert on the war on terror', Dan Pesch. When asked about why the American troups hadn't caught the Taliban yet, he said that the American troops were like "lions led by donkeys, but let's not push that analogy too far", which had me giggling into my cornflakes. He followed this up by saying that you had to question whether the Americans were just asking for the British troops to do something they were not prepared to do. When the interviewer said "Cannon fodder?", he replied, "You could say that". I can't remember the rest of the interview well enough to quote here, but I just got the impression that he didn't like the Americans!
