"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

Yes, I think we all know that already... Doesn't mean I can't share my opinions. The US is certainly in the business of having opinions about everyone else, not to mention meddle in affairs of other countries.. But enough said.

"educated"?? It doesn't change the fact that I heard and had also read that the details about the sources were not made available to anyone in the senate, intelligence committee included. Why that was, I do not know.

Nope. Honestly I saw that post and didn't care who it was responding to. A fact is a fact, and I was agreeing with the posting of it.

Can't deny what I saw and read, so now I have no idea what I'm talking about?

I know what I saw with my own eyes, and they said 'no one in the senate' was able to get some of the sources. But believe what you want, like the rules never get broken, and everyone can get any information they want, and pigs can fly...

Don't you think in this arguement at least you should supply us with some "sources" to support yourself here? Cl-whren did and it supported her case nicely...how am I to believe someone who isn't even from America and dislikes Bush? Are your words somehow more credible then an American who supported her point with sources?

I realize NOW looking at the "to" that palak was talking to you, but I was merely making a general comment based on her statement of fact. It wasn't about you, believe it or not.

Thank you for reminding us of that. Funny how the facts are forgotten when they don't work in their favor.>>

Washington -- The first paragraph of a widely distributed CIA report last October was straightforward and emphatic:

"Baghdad has chemical and biological weapons as well as missiles with ranges in excess of U.N. restrictions; if left unchecked, it probably will have a nuclear weapon during this decade."

That conclusion was repeated over and over again by top administration officials, including President Bush, as the No. 1 reason to launch a pre- emptive attack on Iraq. It contributed heavily to Congress' strong support for a war resolution.

Now, after three months of mostly futile searches for such weapons, there is growing doubt that the statement is true.

As in the Vietnam War a generation ago, policy-makers are reluctant to make statements that might be interpreted as questioning an action in which so many lost their lives. At least 187 Americans, 37 Britons and thousands of Iraqis have already been killed in the fight to disarm Iraq.


CREDIBILITY QUESTIONED

Yet as Congress begins a high-stakes investigation this week into the intelligence that justified the attack on Iraq, even some who stood behind Bush are openly questioning his administration's credibility.

"Either the intelligence was an utter, massive failure -- or even worse than that, the books were cooked and there was a preconceived decision to use military force," said Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Walnut Creek, and one of only two Northern California Democrats who voted to give the president authority to go to war last fall.

"We were told directly that (Hussein) was an imminent threat to this country, and we had to change our long-standing policy and wage a pre-emptive strike," Tauscher said. "And now we find that we weren't being given the full picture. . . . I was certainly misled about Iraq being an imminent threat."
