"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

So why are you laying the blame for the intelligence failure and the timing of the vote at the president's feet?
The various agencies are responsible for the intelligence and numerous investigations have now said that it wasn't manipulated by the administration, and the Democrat Leadership was responsible the timing of the vote.

And all the while Bush and Cheney are on TV talking about mushroom clouds and NBC weapons, making claims with great certainty, months before the NIE was even completed. And now we learn that the publicly released version was changed to remove almost any trace of doubt or uncertainty about important claims. Apparently the part that's classified is that the Intelligence community wasn't entirely sure about Iraq's WMD.
" In a classified National Intelligence Estimate prepared before the Iraq war, the CIA hedged its judgments about Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction, pointing up the limits of its knowledge.
But in the unclassified version of the NIE — the so-called white paper cited by the Bush administration in making its case for war — those carefully qualified conclusions were turned into blunt assertions of fact, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on prewar intelligence.
The repeated elimination of qualifying language and dissenting assessments of some of the government's most knowledgeable experts gave the public an inaccurate impression of what the U.S. intelligence community believed about the threat Hussein posed to the United States, the committee said."

Why don't you start a new thread "Edward/Kerry not Lying" about war on Iraq and paste the same info. I think it is getting hidden in these post and people should know what exactly happened before Senate approved the war. just IMO.
