Now Barack Obama  has to pick up the pieces of  Bush's 'war on terror'


By CORRELLI BARNETT FOR MAILONLINE
Updated:

With a new Commander-in-Chief, we will see a revolutionary shift in American global strategy - principally because it now falls to Obama to deal with the strategic bankruptcy of George W Bush's 'war on terror' in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Iraq, the cost in American lives is nearing 5,000, while the financial cost amounts to an unbelievable three trillion dollars.

President Bush had announced that all but a handful of American occupation forces (now totalling 150,000) would be withdrawn in 2011. Obama has brought this date forward to 2010.

But will he have the strength of will to keep to that target if Shia and Sunni militias take advantage of the ever-weaker American military presence to restart their street battles and suicide bombings?

Could Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki's government cope on its own with large-scale civil conflict? And would the new Iraqi Army prove effective - and, more to the point, loyal?

How to handle such a 'worst-case scenario' would surely provoke bitter political controversy in the U.S.. The neo-cons would urge that the American withdrawal must be halted

Scope and Contents

This small collection mainly consists of Barnett's correspondence with Major-General Eric Dorman O'Gowan (formerly Dorman-Smith) for his research for The Desert Generals. The date range covered by the collection is 1958-1963. The collection largely comprises O'Gowan's side of the correspondence (although there are occasional copies of letters from Barnett). The correspondence is lively and detailed and covers O'Gowan's experiences during the desert war and arguments and events supporting his firm belief that General Sir Claude Auchinleck's achievements had been underestimated. O'Gowan himself described the correspondence as Dear Bill: Letters from an Angry Old General to an Angry Young Writer (BRNT 2, letter dated 5 August 1958).

O'Gowan had held the position of director of military operations in Cairo and was appointed Deputy Chief of the General Staff by Auchinleck in 1942 and became Auchinleck's personal chief of staff after the loss of Tobruk. In August 1942, Winston Churchill replaced Auchinleck as Commander in Chief Middle East with General Sir Harold Alexander and made Lieutenant-General Sir Bernard Montgomery General Officer commanding
