Battle of Passchendaele

	Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Haig was employed briefly as Chief Staff Officer to Major-General John French during the Colesburg operations, then as Assistant Adjutant General of the Cavalry Division.
		Haig had been campaigning for the removal of French as commander of the BEF and had told King George V that French was "a source of great weakness to the army and no one had confidence in him any more".
		Haig's tactics in these battles are still controversial, with many including the then Prime Minister Lloyd George, arguing that he incurred unnecessarily large casualties for little tactical gain.

	Haig, Douglas Haig, 1st Earl - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The British prime minister, David Lloyd George, constantly antagonistic to Haig and unreceptive to his requests from the field, exacerbated the situation by putting the British troops under the orders of the French commander in 1917.
		Haig thus conducted the Passchendaele campaign (July-Nov., 1917; see Ypres, battles of) under orders from Gen. Robert Nivelle, while the French army was being reorganized after a mutiny.
		Haig was under continual French pressure to take over more of the front, and until the joint command of himself and Gen. Ferdinand Foch was instituted (1918), the strategy and conduct of the war were tragically mismanaged.

	Ronald Reagan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most prominent scandal of his administration was the Iran-Contra Affair, where members of his administration exchanged arms with Iran for hostages and used the proceeds to fund the Contras, a para-military, anti-leftist group in Nicaragua.
		Funding for the Contras was also obtained through the illegal sale of weaponry to Iran.
		Contributors to the Administration's campaign were rewarded with funding for low income housing development without the customary background checks, and lobbyists, such as former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head James G. Watt, were rewarded with lobbying fees for assisting campaign contributors with receiving government loans and guarantees.

	Opinion on Haig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Haig, the commander-in-chief of British forces on the Western Front during the First World Wax; is still honoured in the Poppy Appeal though arguably he killed as many of his own men as Stalin and Hitler put together.
		Haig, contemptuous (or possibly ignorant) of the scything effects of the machine-gun, believed the Germans could be overwhelmed by infantry advancing with flintlock rifles, followed up by glorious cavalry charges.
		When Haig died in 1928, the crowds lining the streets of Edinburgh and London as the cortege passed were nearly as large as those for a deceased monarch.
