| Prescient Iraq quote...guess who, when and where... |
|
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 04:33 PM by Richardo
The people .... have been led in <Iraq> into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honour. They have been tricked into it by a steady withholding of information. The Baghdad communiques are belated, insincere, incomplete. Things have been far worse than we have been told, our administration more bloody and inefficient than the public knows. It is a disgrace to our ... record, and may soon be too inflamed for any ordinary cure. We are to-day not far from a disaster.
Highlight here for the answer--> T. E. Lawrence, in a letter to the Sunday (London) Times - August 22, 1920

Edit: and oh oh yeah this was written around 1917-18 when England was stepping in the shit in Iraq too!
