How Many More Lies Lie Ahead?
A new DNC hit piece in the form of a television campaign ad relates the following information in typewritten words across the screen. "In his State of the Union address George W. Bush told us of an imminent threat..."
Right off the bat we are confronted with one huge whopper of a lie, because George W. Bush never mentioned an "imminent threat" posed by Iraq at any time during his State of the Union (S.O.U.) address. In fact, the foundation of the Bush doctrine of preemptive strikes is that we should undertake them BEFORE an enemy's threat becomes imminent.

Boro pols call for inquiry into handling of Iraq info

Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-Astoria) said,
“If the Congress was intentionally misled on the issue of Iraq’s imminent threat to the U.S., I would regret my vote,” she said in a prepared statement. “The serious questions that continue to emerge about these issues should only be fully explored and resolved in a special inquiry, where the officials involved can present testimony and answer questions that the public deserves to know.”

Who's Unpatriotic Now?
Some nonrevisionist history: On Oct. 8, 2002, Knight Ridder newspapers reported on intelligence officials who "charge that the administration squelches dissenting views, and that intelligence analysts are under intense pressure to produce reports supporting the White House's argument that Saddam poses such an immediate threat to the United States that pre-emptive military action is necessary.".....
.....Issues of principle aside, the invasion of a country that hadn't attacked us and didn't pose an imminent threat has seriously weakened our military position......

Washington, July 25
Iraq posed an imminent threat to US security because Saddam could provide Al-Qaeda with the feared chemical, biological or nuclear "weapons of mass destruction," US officials said in the months leading up to the war.
