Iraq’s Arsenal Was Only on Paper
Tamimi’s covert work, which he recounted publicly for the first time in five hours of interviews, offers fresh perspective on the question that led the nation to war. Iraq flouted a legal duty to report the designs. The weapons they depicted, however, did not exist. After years of development — against significant obstacles — they might have taken form as nine-ton missiles. In March they fit in Tamimi’s pocket, on two digital compact discs.
The nine-month record of arms investigators since the fall of Baghdad includes discoveries of other concealed arms research, most of it less advanced.
Get that? Much of the research was less advanced than mere plans without any manufacturing at all. Less. Advanced. This is advanced?
