As I get to the Iraq sections, I see Mr. Feith continues his longstanding process of ignoring real criticism and, instead, creating and demolishing straw men assuming, I guess, that readers will lose track of this tactic.

On p. 183 he writes, "Soon after Saddam's overthrow in 2003, some war critics began to contend that not only was the war unnecesary, but that Saddam had never been a significant problem for the United States--regarding terrorism, WMD, or any other matter."

Now, there may have been "some war critics" taking that absurd position. But the serious criticism was that the extent of the threat posed by Hussein did not justify the expected strategic costs and risks of invasion and occupation. Mr. Feith does not address this serious criticism, instead devoting his attention to the easily debunked one he described in this quotation.
