The importance of the word "imminent" is that self-defense can only be invoked as a justification for war if the threat is "imminent". If Bush did not think Iraq to be an "imminent" threat then there was no case for war. As we know now, there was no case for war because there was no "imminent" threat. Whether or not Bush did or did not use this word, he certainly used the word "threat" often enough. If Bush supporters now want to say that the threat was never sufficient to justify going to war, I will take that as an admission of guilt for starting a war without justification.
