Whether the Iraqis had actual stores of unconventional weapons, Spertzel argues, is beside the point. He finds it credible that Iraq converted many of its weapons factories to civilian uses. Baghdad's official policy from 1995, he notes, was that facilities that were not building weapons had to be self-supporting. But, he adds, "they would be available when called upon" to return to armsmaking. Spertzel thinks the focus on finding a 55-gal. drum of poison is misplaced.

His disregard for basic economic principles goes beyond his refusal to admit any connection between his revenue-slashing and soaring deficits. He is so stridently and categorically averse to taxing the wealthy that he even opposes taxes which, in themselves, enhance economic incentives and efficiency. He prefers, instead, to shift the tax burden to other, distortionary taxes...
