从“伊拉克门”到“情报门”——美国对萨达姆政权政策探析

From "Iraq-gate" to "Intelligence-gate"——Analysis on American Policy toward Saddam Administration

美国当代有两次所谓"伊拉克门"丑闻:一次发生在海湾战前,以美国纵容伊拉克发展大规模杀伤性武器借以改善美伊关系为特征;另一次又称"情报门",发生在2003年伊拉克战争前,以美国政府夸大伊拉克大规模杀伤性武器的威胁度和紧迫性,为发动伊战寻求借口为特征。两次"伊拉克门"特征迥异,却都与大规模杀伤性武器紧密相关。大规模杀伤性武器成为美国处理对伊关系、制定对伊政策的核心因素。两次"伊拉克门"期间,随着国际环境以及战略重心的改变,美国的伊拉克政策也发生了巨大的转变,美国对伊外交政策的务实主义本质在两次"伊拉克门"丑闻中得到了充分的体现。

There are two so- called ＂Iraq- gate＂ scandals in contemporary America ：One happened on the eve of the Gulf War, whose feature is that U.S. indulged Iraq to develop its weapons of mass destruction （hereinafter cited as WMD） so as to improve U.S. -Iraq relations; The other is called ＂Intelligence -gate＂ as well , which happened before the second Iraq War, its character is that U.S. government exaggerated the threat and urgency of Iraq＇ s WMD as the excuse to launch the war. Although two ＂Iraq - gate＂ are very different in character, both interrelated closely with WMD,which became the core that America handle the relation with Iraq and enact the policy towards Iraq. During the period of two ＂Iraq - gate＂ scandals, with the change of international situation and strategic area of interest, the policy of U. S. toward Iraq changed greatly, through which the pragmatism of American foreign policy got the adequate reflection.
