""Gathering threat." Now we're in the right neighborhood..."
Yup, folks around the globe shouldn't be surprised one bit
by this comment. If it weren't for the liberal media &
liberal politician's blatant distortions, we'd all know
that's how Bush portrayed Iraq. In fact, "gathering
threat", well, that's precisely how Bush framed it to the
whole world prior to the war.....
President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat
October 7, 2002
"Knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us."
"First, some ask why Iraq is different from other countries or regimes that also have terrible weapons. While there are many dangers in the world, the threat from Iraq stands alone -- because it gathers the most serious dangers of our age in one place."
"We also must never forget the most vivid events of recent history. On September the 11th, 2001, America felt its vulnerability -- even to threats that gather on the other side of the earth."
"Some ask how urgent this danger is to America and the world. The danger is already significant, and it only grows worse with time."

"Understanding the threats of our time, knowing the designs and deceptions of the Iraqi regime, we have every reason to assume the worst, and we have an urgent duty to prevent the worst from occurring."
"And that's why two administrations -- mine and President Clinton's -- have stated that regime change in Iraq is the only certain means of removing a great danger to our nation."
