Montgomery's advice that the raid be cancelled for all time was ignored.

So he first approved the plan, then wanted it cancelled and someone else gave the go ahead.

Well it did look like him to me, but I'm still learning.

Thanks for the insight about Monty wanting everything to be 'perfect', even though it was only 'perfect' for him, what... one time, in Africa?

Montgomery was the type of General who tried to ensure thateverything was in his favor before attacking. Anytime he took risks it eneded up a disaster. (Arnhem comes to mind)
