Y'all need to just let this one drop, and move back to explaining how John Kerry hates the Amercan military, would impoverish our intelligence services, and secretly dreams of a three-way with Chirac and Kim Jong Il.

I don't understand why the administration officials try and mince words. We fucking invaded the country- they can't claim they didn't think it was a threat.
I would say, "look based upon available intelligence and based upon the actions of the Iraqui government we believed it had WMD, both in development and in actual possesion. It now looks like there was not the amount we believed was there. Hans Blix thought it was there, the UN thought it was there, we were all mistaken. Did we think the threat 'imminent' or 'immediate?'
Fuck yes Morty, thats why we invaded."
I just don't see how pulling back from the thought that the threat was BAD/REAL/NOW is consistant with invading, and I think they could explain it that way. FWIW, I also think that would be the truth, which is what I'm now committing to spreading.
