"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

"I" never said Bush lied about this situation...He and this administration misled the country on plenty of other occasions to "justify' the war in their war starved minds. Lying has to show intent to deceive. John Edwards could not have "lied" he had bad information and spoke on that. I stand by what I said, As Commandor and Chief it was Bush's resposibility to make sure he had the facts, and in some cases he apparently ignored those who tried to tell him the information was possibly incorrect, to me that shows intent.

<< IN MY OPINION, the point of it was to be rude and put down those that do not agree with her point of view. >>

I always thought that for civility's sake,

The infamous 45 minutes was in the UK's Iraq Dossier that the BBC erroneously said was 'sexed up.'

NO yo are right BUSH never called Iraq an imminent threat...

that's because he cannot pronounce "imminent".

I do believe, however, that he called iraq an IMPOTENT threat in attempts to call Iraq an imminent threat...

LOL

I want to add that perhaps Edwards, like so many other americans, believed George W Bush. I almost did a few months after 9/11. I thought "No president, no human being would make so many soldiers face their demise, not over some oil... and Bush claims to be God fearing... Maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt."

moments later I returned to my senses and realized I was standing too close as I filled up my gas tank. Maybe it was my total that brought me back to reality.

so, if Edwards said it, then might not necessarily be a liar if he said he BELIEVED Iraq to be an imminent threat, because a lot of us did.

Edwards, he is really a pretty face, and America loves the eye candy. I will admit that easily but so were Quayle, Gore, and a lot of other vice presidents.

Again, I have to wonder why some believe that George W. Bush, a man who is according to some an incompetent idiot, was able to convince the world of a lot of information that he alone knew to be false. Is it just possible that like everyone else in the world George W. Bush actually BELIEVED the intelligence reports presented to him? No, of course not. He and Dick Cheney alone knew they were all lies, a fact the two of them managed to hide from Congress and the entire UN. Right.

< Edwards, he is really a pretty face, and America loves the eye candy. I will admit that easily but so were Quayle, Gore, and a lot of other vice presidents.>

Quayle maybe, but Al Gore eye candy? Not to my eyes. I'm busy trying to think of the many other VP's who might be considered eye candy. Cheney? Mondale? Ford? Johnson? I guess if you had to pick the "looker" out of the more recent bunch it would have to be Bush Sr, LOL.
