That's right, Bush did say the words "imminent threat". He just didn't say that Iraq was an "imminent threat" - that was an invention of Howard Dean.

What President Bush said, was that the United States would never wait for Iraq to become an "imminent threat".

It is also a fact, that two of the major reasons that the United States was attacked by bin Laden (on 9-11), is because the United States had troops stationed in Saudi Arabia to maintain UN Sanctions, and enforce the "no fly zones", over Iraq. It is also a fact that the reason that the United States attacked the al Shifa plant in the Sudan, was because the Clinton Administration linked bin Laden and Iraq's WMD program - a link that President Clinton's anti terrorism czar and Secretary of Defense defend to this day.

re: "The claim of some folks here is that Dumbya never said that Iraq was an "imminent threat". Thanks for providing that Dumbya quote. Seeing what Dumbya said there, how can these folks/you make that claim anymore?"
