OK, I realize that you & your peers are impervious to facts & reality, but here are the facts. You posted the following false statement, ""IRAQ WAS NOT AN IMMINENT THREAT"! BUSH LIED!!!!" Fact: George Bush never called Iraq an imminent threat. Fact: John Edwards did. Was he lying? From: CNN LATE EDITION WITH WOLF BLITZER February 24, 2002 John Edwards: "....about this "axis of evil" comment..... I mean, we have three different countries that, while they all present serious problems for the United States -- they're dictatorships, they're involved in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- you know, the most imminent, clear and present threat to our country is not the same from those three countries. I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to our country." cnn.com The Imminent Threat canard was fostered by leading Democratic politicians & reported as fact by the liberal media.... The 'imminence' spin dev.siliconinvestor.com Sorting out the "imminent threat" debate dev.siliconinvestor.com A Brief History of The Imminent Threat Canard dev.siliconinvestor.com 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."..... whitehouse.gov 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"..... whitehouse.gov
