No dictionary necessary:
Statement 1:
The "I would not be so certain" refers to the time frame (of 5 to 7 years) before Saddam would have nuclear weapons, meaning that he thinks that Saddam could have them before that time. There is another, weaker argument here, but I won't go into that.
Statement 2:
This is a statement of relativity. He is not saying the threat posed by Iraq or any other country is immediate. He is saying that if he had to rank all countries in order of the most pressing threat, Iraq would be at the top of the list.

So, what IS your definition of IS?
It didn't convince the judge in the Paula Jones case, and your argument is roughly on par. Oh, how the standards have fallen since those first, heady days of 2001 when GOP operatives falsely accused Clinton staffers of doing extensive damage ("vandalism") to WH offices as they left. Or, have they?
