He wont take advice from 'Mr Clegg insisted: 'I am not going to take lectures from a bunch of retired establishment figures about the security of this country."
Only the one's who back him it seems.
"The three former security chiefs had said that they were 'concerned' that the Lib Dem manifesto makes no mention of Nato and calls for a more distant relationship with the U.S.
'An enhanced European defence and security posture, however welcome, cannot substitute for American power,' they warned."
"'We believe that they need to clarify their position as soon as possible. All political parties must send the right signals to friend and foe alike.'
"British troops in Afghanistan deserve a 'clearer lead' than was offered by Lib Dem frontbenchers, who have adopted different positions on whether and when the UK contingent should be withdrawn, the three said.
Ruling out military action against Iran was 'precipitate', while the Lib Dems make no mention of North Korea, the other state threatening to acquire nuclear weapons."
"Lib Dem policy on the renewal of the Trident nuclear deterrent was in 'potentially dangerous confusion', with several senior frontbenchers indicating they would like to take the 'colossal gamble' of scrapping it altogether, said the former security chiefs."
