This is the utterly fallacious argument being used to support an attack on Iraq:

""The president thinks it's better to do this sooner rather than later," Rice said on CNN's "Late Edition." "I don't think anyone wants to wait for the 100 percent surety that [Hussein] has a weapon of mass destruction that can reach the United States, because the only time we may be 100 percent sure is when something lands on our territory."

First of all there's not even 10% surety at present.
Secondly, "...when something lands on our territory." is NOT the "only time we may be 100% sure." That statement is a bald-faced lie.
Thirdy, WHERE THE FRICK DOES THE IDEA THAT IRAQ IS POISED TO ATTACK THE UNITED STATES COME FROM???? huh???? HELLOOOOO!!!! THEY'RE MAKING IT UP OUT OF THIN AIR!!!
and the goofy warmongers on this thread actually fall for it!!
