No one EVER called IRAQ an imminent THREAT .......NO ONE!!!! In fact..GW stated EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE!!

Has anyone found it amazing that the SAME people who are critizing the POTUS/ADMINISTRATION for stating WITH NEAR CERTAINTY that there were WMD in IRAQ are NOW STATING with the SAME CERTAINTY that there are NOT WMD????

Amazing considering the hunt is still on and the according to DCI is NOT yet nearly complete!!

You are exactly right. In fact, the president himself, in the State of the Union (2003), inferred he did NOT consider the threat "imminent":

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. (Applause.)

... 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.

I wish people would learn to look for themselves, don't you?

Well actually the press called it an imminant threat, but claimed the president did.
