Main Entry: imminent Function: adjective <font size=4> : ready to take place; especially : hanging threateningly over one's head <was in imminent danger of being run over> <font size=3> Main Entry: threat 1 : an expression of intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage 2 : one that threatens 3 : an indication of something impending <the sky held a threat of rain> <font size=4> "imminent threat" - especially ready to take place (one's) intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage <font size=3> Jacob, you said, " Any poster here who wants to, can find 100 quotes from top Administration officials, saying the threat was immanent." I gave you two excellent examples where President Bush clearly indicated there was not an "imminent threat" to the US or the region. And the following is your idea of the "100 quotes from top Administration officials, saying the threat was immanent"?? VP Cheney 8/26/02- Key words: "no doubt" "now has" "fairly soon" = imminent Absolutely nothing from Cheney's mouth indicated anything approaching an "imminent threat". ZIP < ZERO President Bush, 11/7/02 - "still has" "less than a year" = imminent Once again nothing Bush said came close to intimating an "imminent threat" on 11/7/02. ZIP < ZERO "Does "within one year" count as imminent?" Not according to webster.
