So they acted with urgency but the threat was not imminent. Why did we have to invade so urgently? I wasn't in on the meetings at the white house. And GW didn't call me afterwards to explain. I can try to guess, but its just that a guess. I suppose the thought may have been that waiting would have made things worse. That there was at least a small chance that Saddam could make progress with WMD while we waited, or that he would have at least made progress at getting around the sanctions and/or reducing support around the world for the sanctions and inspections regime. Also waiting a matter of months would have meant that the invasion would have been in the summer.
