"Powell was a good soldier going before the UN, but a lot of his "evidence" didn't exactly stand the test of time." None of it has been retracted, denounced or otherwise disavowed by the Bush Admin or any of the media outlets who have made these assertions.

""Imminent threat", indeed" The 'imminence' spin Message 19469570 A Brief History of The Imminent Threat Canard Message 19469610 Sorting out the "imminent threat" debate <This from a group of like minded liberals> Message 19508187 <font size=4> President properly frames what "imminent threat" means. President Delivers "State of the Union" ...."Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option.".....<font size=3> whitehouse.gov October 7, 2002 <font size=4> President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat ...."The fundamental problem with Iraq remains the nature of the regime, itself. Saddam Hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction." Some ask how urgent this danger is to America and the world. The danger is already significant, and it only grows worse with time. If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today -- and we do -- does it make any sense for the world to wait to confront him as he grows even stronger and develops even more dangerous weapons?.... ....The world has waited 12 years for Iraq to disarm. America will not accept a serious and mounting threat to our country, and our friends and our allies".....<font size=3> whitehouse.gov
