You said Bush didn't imply urgency and danger for the US. I said "he never said that the Iraqi weapons where going to be used to blow up American cities in the next few months. He didn't even say what many accuse him of, that an attack with these weapons was imminent." Then you said "He sure as hell implied it." The "It" in question is that of an imminent attack on the US, esp. one that would "blow up American cities in the next few months". Bush didn't even imply something like that. He did say that it was urgent to take care of the threat now. That doesn't mean that an attack on the US is imminent only that preventive action is urgent. Then in one quote Bush says "The world is also uniting to answer the unique and urgent threat posed by Iraq." - George W. Bush, Nov. 23, 2002 That's the only quote I've seen that talks about an urgent threat but one is enough and there may be more. However he says noting about an urgent threat of a massive attack on America, let alone one that will soon "blow up our cities". A threat to use chemical weapons on other countries in the ME (which of course Iraq did do in the past) might be considered urgent but wouldn't be an attack on the US, let alone one that could "blow up our cities". I do agree that Bush overstated the urgency of the possible threat from Iraq. My only point since the beginning was that Bush didn't say or even in any obvious way imply that there was an immediate threat of a WMD attack on the US if the US didn't invade Iraq. Tim
