<font size=4>....The word "imminent" is key to differentiating Dean's
policy from the president's decision to invade Iraq, said
Jeremy Ben-Ami, policy director for Dean's campaign.

Bush "sold the war on the basis of an imminent threat to
U.S. security, and that has now been shown to be false,"
Ben-Ami said. Since the threat from Iraq was not imminent,
the administration could not properly justify the war, he
said.

However, when Bush laid out the case for the war in his
2003 State of the Union address, he said the United States
should not wait for an imminent threat.

"Some have said we must not act until the threat is
imminent," Bush said. "Since when have terrorists and
tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on
notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to
fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all
recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity
and restraint of Saddam Hussein ... is not an option."
