\nFor a complementary source\u00a0on the pre-invasion politics and planning for the Iraq War see:\u00a0Wider ‘War on Terrorism’: It’s Construction in the First Year<\/a>\u00a0which covers September 2001 through October 2002, and that war’s antecedents.<\/span><\/p>\n

The War Report (last updated and then archived in 2009) will remain an essential resource on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for many years to come. Some small percentage of the links on this site will go bad each year.
