"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."

Not to mention that we'd been bombing Iraq for 12 years...or that Kerry himself voted for the ILA which enacted as US law the policy of overthrowing Saddam.

Thank you for posting the above. It is exactly the passage I was about to go hunting for.

Question: Do you think any member of the mainstream press with take the time to look it up or go so far as to put Kerry on notice that this is what President Bush actually said?
