From the senators mouths (icluding their signed war authorization resolution)BASED on the "imminent threat" claim by Bush. >>>> The President has maintained that this resolution is necessary at this time based on his assessment of the imminent threat to the United States posed by Iraq.text If the President believes based on the intelligence that he has received that an imminent threat exists, then it is my belief that we must support him. He [GW] now seeks Congressional authorization to use military force in Iraq based on his assessment of the imminent threat presented by the untrustworthiness <<<< house.gov and of course this: Kucinich stated today on the House floor: "Over the past year, the Bush Administration has made specific and unequivocal statements about the imminent threat posed by Iraq´s alleged weapons of mass destruction. "Repeatedly claiming they has intelligence showing Iraq had 25,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, and over 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. "So where are those vast stockpiles? Where was the imminent threat? "At the State of the Union Address, the President said `.Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.´ "Where are those vast stockpiles? Where was the imminent threat? "This Administration repeatedly claimed Iraq´s WMD represented an imminent threat to this country. They claimed specific evidence of vast stockpiles. "Where are the vast stockpiles? Where was the imminent threat? "Did this Administration deliberately mislead this nation into war telling us that there was imminent threat, when there was not? "The resolution of inquiry now signed by 36 Members of Congress aims to find out the truth." Last Thursday, Kucinich introduced a Resolution of Inquiry in the House of Representatives to force the Administration to turn over the intelligence to back its yet unproven claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The resolution, now signed by 36 Members of Congress, seeks to force the Administration to turn over the intelligence to substantiate claims by the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and the White House Press Secretary that Iraq has chemical and biological weapons and therefore posed a threat to the United States. The resolution is a privileged resolution and must be voted on in Committee within 14 legislative days of being introduced. ttp://wwws.house.gov/search97cgi/s97_cgi?action=View&%20VdkVgwKey=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ehouse%2Egov%2Fapps%2Flist%2Fpress%2Foh10%5Fkucinich%2F030611threat%2Eht<br%20/>ml&DocOffset=3&DocsFound=355&QueryZip=imminent+threat&SourceQueryZip=&Collection=comms&Collection=members&Collection=other&Collection=coxreport&ViewTemplate=memberview%2Ehts& cut and paste last url into the browser. length too long for SI to auto link it. If this is not an impeachable offense then not sure what is. A fraud for evidence. I mean dragging us to a costly war both on lives and $$$ not to mention the looting of the treasury, domestic polarization and financial suffering of America.
