BRITAIN WILL CUT FORCE, says Gen Jackson
'THE number of troops in the Gulf could be dramatically reduced if war drags on, Britain's leading soldier warned yesterday. General Sir Mike Jackson said: "This amount of commitment is not sustainable over a long period of time."'

'A Whitehall source said last night: "Because of the pressures on troops all over the world we will have to consider our commitment in the Gulf carefully in the coming weeks. "If this is dragging on in six months I expect forces to be cut from 45,000 to 5,000."'
