"I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to our country."--John Edwards, "CNN Late Edition," Feb. 24, 2002
He is the person who called Iraq an "imminent" threat. Not Bush

Do you see the "contradiction" you just made??? You say they were provided with the information but not the sources and then go on to say that the intelligence is as good as the sources...okkkkkkkkeeeeeey dokey.
Of course it's a huge issue, but for heaven's sakes how can one man justify using the resources of our entire country, sending our young men and women to die, bombing innocent people so that he can carry out his own personal revenge. Must be nice to be able to bomb the hell out of an entire nation because their leader had failed in an assasination attempt. That'll show those Iraqiis - we'll smoke 'em all!
<<The press focused on use of the word "imminent" because the Bush administration characterized the Iraq war as preemptive. The definition of a preemptive war, is one which acts first to preempt an imminent threat. This was just more clever word play which the Bush admin used to help sell their war to the public, and to the world. >>
I agree the press is to blame for that delightful bit of spin. The ironic part is that Bush Doctrine says that we have to act BEFORE a threat is imminent because with airplanes and WMDs, imminent is nonactionable. That's when he used the 'magic word' and the press and Democrats have the gall to claim he said the exact opposite. It's disgusting.

If you'd like to do your own, I give you a hint: Kandahar rhymes with cigar. ; )
If he wants to avenge the assassination of a former president, maybe he should bomb the CIA building.

Because you said he used that as a reason to go to war...if he didn't know about 9/11 how would he have a reason to go to war in the first place? There is that "not making sense" syndrome your posts are diluted with.
