   "The balance of power in the region has swung to Iran's advantage. It has   
   lost us a lot of goodwill and trust in the Arab world. It has not actually   
   enhanced the war against terrorism but made it worse...The Army has been   
   tasked to do much more than it should and this cannot stick. As it is not   
   likely that peace is going to break out in the next five years the question   
   is, do we have enough troops, because clearly there is more trouble ahead.   
   "Gen Dannatt understands that the Army is going to be used for a long time   
   and has to be big enough and resourced enough.   
   ''We are operating in two theatres of war, both of which are extremely   
   challenging. We are doing this with an Army which, in my view, is too small,   
   underfunded and taken for granted by this country.   
   "I don't quite understand the Prime Minister saying the Army can have   
   anything it wants when you cannot simply magic up helicopters." A senior   
   officer involved in operations said Sir Richard was "right on the money" in   
   his comments.

   'Britain's property magnates are becoming richer than ever, according to a   
   survey.   
   Estates Gazette's rich list, published today, shows that the combined wealth   
   of this year's top property players is 10 per cent higher than last year, at   
   £79 billion.'
