White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.--Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, mirroring the controversial remarks here last year of the U.S. Iraq administrator, said the invasion of that country was flawed.
Mr. Powell, speaking to the annual meeting of the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers, said that mistakes that occurred included a lack of ground troops.
A similar assessment made at this conference last year by L. Paul Bremer III, the former administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, created a national furor during the presidential election.
