Costly Withdrawal Is the Price To Be Paid for a Foolish War

イスラエルの著名な軍事学者、軍事史家のマーティン・ファン・クレフェルトのイラク戦争について記事。著書に『補給戦』、"The Transformation of War"など。内容はタイトル通り。結論は以下。

For misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 B.C sent his legions into Germany and lost them, Bush deserves to be impeached and, once he has been removed from office, put on trial along with the rest of the president’s men. If convicted, they’ll have plenty of time to mull over their sins.

クレフェルトは左派ではない。例えばイスラエルの防護壁の理論的枠組みを整えたのはクレフェルトだと言ってもよい。
