I didn't say "everybody with WMD is an imminent threat to us". I was responding to the claim that Dean knew Bush* was lying about Saddam's WMD's.

The question was, given that he did, how should he be dealt with

And Dean said that if the UN won't agree to an invasion, then we should give Saddam a 60-day deadline to comply, and if he didn't, we should then invade.

By conflating having WMD with being an imminent threat you are making precisely the same argument that Bush is.

Too bad I never said that. You seem to be conflating the idea that anyone who says "Dean also thought Saddam had WMD's" with "I agree with Bush*"

Dean said:

1) Saddam had WMD's
2) Saddam was a threat
3) We would have to deal with Saddam and his threat at some point
4) We should get the UN to support this
5) If the UN wouldn't support it, we should give Saddam a deadline, and invade if he didn't comply.
