immediate threats from wmds and ties between Al Q and Saddam. That's the liberal line, John. Neither was being pushed. The only "immediate threat" from wmds was if Saddam sold or gave them to Terrorists, or used them against Israel. And it was Chem/Bio, not Nuke. Everybody knew the Nuke was in the future. No Al Qaeda linkup was ever pushed. We thought he may have helped them, but never pushed that. "Selective Memory syndrome" is coming out of the left.

You keep repeating the same refrain over and over, John. The Administration never argued the "immediate threat" line. Before the invasion, you kept mumbling about "they haven't proven their case that Iraq poses an immediate threat" and I kept clubbing you over the head with "that's because they aren't arguing that". But you keep going on about this immediate threat, as if repeating it often enough will make it true. Quite disturbing. Derek
