Assessing America's 'imperial adventure' in Iraq
US troops have been packing up as their combat operation in Iraq officially ends "This," a leading American supporter of President George W Bush wrote in a British newspaper back in February 2003, just before the invasion of Iraq, "is our imperial moment".

パウエル元米国務長官：「イラク戦争は避けられた」 - 毎日ｊｐ(毎日新聞)
【ワシントン草野和彦】イラク戦争開戦時（０３年３月）の米国務長官のコリン・パウエル氏（７３）が、毎日新聞の電話でのインタビューに応じた。元長官は「戦争は避けることができた」と述べ、旧フセイン政権の大量破壊兵器（ＷＭＤ）の存在に関する情報が間違っていたことを「極めて残念だ」と強調した。イラク戦争を巡り、ブッシュ前政権の高官が戦争が回避できたと踏み込んで発言するのは極めて異例だ。パウエル氏は、今月末にイラク駐留米軍が戦闘任務を終了させるのにあわせ、毎日新聞のインタビューに応じた。 国連安保理は０２年１１月、イラクにＷＭＤの査察受け入れを求める決議を採択。元長官は０３年２月に国連安保理で、ＷＭＤ開発継続などの「新証拠」を提示し、米国は決議違反を根拠に開戦した。だが米情報機関の判断は０５年、ほぼ完全に誤りと分かった。 元長官は、事前にＷＭＤがないと判明していれば「個人的な見解として、米国は戦争をし

Secret Assault on Terrorism Widens on Two Continents (Published 2010)
This article is by Scott Shane, Mark Mazzetti and Robert F. Worth. WASHINGTON — At first, the news from Yemen on May 25 sounded like a modest victory in the campaign against terrorists: an airstrike had hit a group suspected of being operatives for Al Qaeda in the remote desert of Marib Province, birthplace of the legendary queen of Sheba. But the strike, it turned out, had also killed the provinc
