1. Why we had to go to war, by Bushco

Edited on Mon Oct-13-03 08:18 AM by NicoleM

On Oct. 7, President Bush framed it this way: “Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof — the smoking gun — that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.” National security adviser Condoleezza Rice had used similar language Sept. 8, saying, “We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.”

That sounds an awful lot like the threat is imminent to me.

Of course, the threat wasn't imminent or even gathering. The proof is that no WMD have been found, nor will they be. No WMD, no threat.
