The British military has announced Prince Harry will not be sent to Iraq because the situation is too unsafe.
General Sir Richard Dannat made the announcement on Wednesday.
* Gen. Dannat: “There are a number of specific threats, of a varied nature, some reported some not reported specifically aimed at Prince Harry. And it if for that reason and in light of recent events, that you have referred to one affecting US servicemen, that I have decided that the risk to Prince Harry is too great. And I have also decided that the threat that he brings to his troops and squadron, by his presence, in light of the specific threats to him is now too great.”
Members of the British group Military Families Against the War criticized the decision. Rose Gentle, whose son was killed in Iraq, said “If it’s too dangerous for Prince Harry, it”s too dangerous for the rest of the boys. They should all come home”.
