Colonel (retd) Tim Collins OBE (born Belfast, Northern Ireland, April 1960) is a former colonel in the British Army. He is best known for his role in the Iraq War in 2003, and his inspirational eve-of-battle speech, a copy of which apparently hangs in the White House's Oval Office. By 2005 he was to make a complete about-face on his assessment of the war, calling it a "catastrophe" and a "right-rollicking cock-up".[
