Again, not true. Look at the studies for the sources of DOS attacks.
Spoofed source addresses are not currently (nor have they been) the core

Sure, but again, consider the recent DNS amplifier attacks and
filter circumvention attacks (using spoofing to send UCE).
I'd be interested in seeing more references on the SPAM-spoofing. I
assume you refer to hijacking an address space (possibly a bogon,
possibly in use), sending spam, and switching the prefix continously.
This is quite different than 'traditional' spoofing because above also
requires propagation of false routing information instead of simply
sending bogus packets.
