It may be that the greatest failure of the Bush administration was the failure to offer sufficient rewards for information leading to the location of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. The nuclear weapons program may indeed have been shut down, but there seems to be a glaring lack of information as to the location of chemical weapons, or, given that they were all destroyed, the location of their remnants and the records of destruction. There were caravans of trucks fleeing to Syria and Iran at the time of the invasion, so it may never be known what was taken to these countries. What is well known, however, is that in Desert Storm Sadam preferred giving his air force to Iran rather than having it destroyed on the ground. Regards, Horace Heffner
