Ok fine.. But THEY (and you) brought up the point, NOT BUSH.. Wait a minute, don't put that one on me. It was you that brought up that point all on your own. You can click on the posts as well as I can. Bringing that up [imminent threat] was your idea and did so, IMO, as a criticism of the peaceniks. I think the context is quite clear on that. Further, it was not only the "peaceniks" that thought that Bush said there was an imminent threat, Ari Fliescher thought so as well. In line with your types of questions, why did Ari deliberately mislead the press into believing that Bush was suggesting the threat was imminent? What Bush opined was that Iraq was an EVENTUAL threat... Sometimes Bush got specific in his opining beyond "eventual". He claimed that the IAEA said that Iraq was 6 months away from getting a nuclear capability. [Of course, the IAEA never said that, but that's another matter.] Personnally, I consider that comment to be very suggestive of an imminent threat. No.. the US was NOT CERTAIN OF ANYTHING That's a surprise..... [to be continued...my wife wishes to sieze the PC] jttmab
