John;
One story that I cannot forget from a member of the Administration occurred two weeks before we attacked Iraq. "WMD’s no longer were in Iraq – they had been sent to Syria and Libya". Upon hearing this, I asked myself why we were not attacking those two nations instead?

>>>My point, as I wrote to Jim, is that no one in the administration ever claimed that Iraq was an imminent threat. You claim they did say that. As I wrote earlier, if you have a quote from the administration, I am all eyes.

I also thought that possibly giving weapons to terrorists (another claim of which there remains no evidence) was an example of an imminent threat. I also understood that "imminent threat" was an important justification for attacking another nation, which is why it was so important that there had to be one.
