You are quibbling over the word "Imminent". I grant you that many people have said W said it was an Imminent threat when he never said Imminent. But he did say that Saddam was a threat. A threat worthy of a preemptive strike.

I disagree with W on that point. And the facts bear that out. He did not have WMD. His army was pathetic and was wiped away in a few days. What kind of serious threat was he that we couldn't have continued inspections and resolutions until the cows came home? Why is that not a better idea than over a thousand americans dead a many thousands of Iraqis?

It is hindsight with which I can say these words with such surety, but that is how we judge actions. With the effect and and results of those actions. The effect has been devastating to many and the results are yet to be determined.
