Under what circumstances would you consider Saddam to be an imminent threat?

Let me amend that question to include a qualifier, C2. The present state of argument is that the threat would be sufficiently imminent that the US would invade without UNSC support.

Credible evidence of participation in planning of 9-11 would be the big one. The second would be credible evidence of close ties with Al Q now.

I think the UNSC would support invasion should either of those be present.

I'm deliberately leaving the issue of nuclear weapons off the table because I see that as a part of a bigger issue of finding global means of containing their spread. The UNSC simply has to be a part of that.
