Word play? That is precisely what you are engaging in.

Here's the question, and it's not about a word, it's about an idea, a concept:

Do you think that most likely Bush was trying to imply to the citizenry, without using the word, that the danger was imminent, by using "can't wait" in the same sentence with "clear evidence," "peril," and "mushroom cloud," and other such characterizations of the situation regarding the threat to us from Iraq.

Do you think it would be quite understandable if many, many Americans concluded that the reason we "can't wait" is because the danger to our country (of a "mushroom cloud" or other "strike" from the "arsenal of terror") was imminent?
