  1. Great Power Rivalry • European Integration 1183 • March 31

  2. Europe is turning away from power, or to put it a little differently, it is moving beyond power into a self-contained world of laws and rules and transnational negotiation and cooperation.--Robert Kagan (2002)

  3. Cheney 1992 • Our strategy must now refocus on precluding the emergence of any potential future global competitor.

  4. Lawrence Wilkerson • SPIEGEL: Do you ever think that Powell was set up? • Wilkerson: Well I am increasingly convinced that, for a part of the Bush administration, the argument “weapons of mass destruction” was just a camouflage, just subterfuge for their real goals and reasons of the war. • SPIEGEL: What are they?

  5. Lawrence Wilkerson (contd.) • Wilkerson: I am convinced that the vast oil resources of Iraq weigh heavier for me now when I do the strategic analysis as reasons for the war than I thought back then. • SPIEGEL: Who do you mean specifically? George W. Bush? • Wilkerson: I am not sure. But I would be very interested to look at the documents chronicling Dick Cheney’s pre-war conversations with leading figures of the energy business and with oil magnates. Maybe one day historians will be able to get their hands on those documents and come to a judgment about that -- if and when the classified documents become open to the public.
