Iraq war review highlights costly failures
An Iraq war review says the US military achieved a historic level of co-ordination of air, land and sea power but fell short in other respects, at the cost of American lives.
Too little was done to minimise incidents of “friendly fire,” or inadvertent attacks by US forces on US or coalition troops, according to Admiral Edmund Giambastiani, chief of Joint Forces Command, which compiled the war review, known as a “lessons learned” report.
