There was no imminent threat. Which means we went to war under false circumstances. Which means we were lied to -- repeatedly.

You know, I'm tired of reading this revisionism. Did we not argue for months on end on this thread that imminent threat was not a necessary condition? But rather the nature of the threat of rogue states and terrorism necessitated a lowering of the bar in evaluating what constituted a threat? Wasn't that the whole rationale behind "preemptive strikes?"

Nice how the reasoning gets rewritten in order to make a useful target.
