Prince Andrew Thinks The U.S. Would Be Doing Better If It Had Heeded British Advice

Jump to Comments

Prince Andrew is saying the United States would have avoided some of the problems in Iraq if it had listened to the advice his country had been giving out. The British prince made his statements as he gets ready to visit the U.S. on a business mission.

“Why didn’t anyone listen to what was said and the advice that was given?”

The Prince, fourth in line to the throne says the United States was Britain’s chief ally.

Some of the advice that the U.S. didn’t heed deals with banning Hussein’s Baath party and taking apart the Iraqi military.

The prince served on the military as a Royal Navy helicopter pilot. He now promotes British business aboard.

“If you are looking at colonialism, if you are looking at operations on an international scale, if you are looking at understanding each other’s culture, understanding how to operate in a military insurgency campaign - we have been through them all,” he was quoted as saying.

“We’ve won some, lost some, drawn some. The fact is there is quite a lot of experience over here which is valid and should be listened to.”

Prince Andrew is due in the United States for a 10 day trade mission.
