Great point in a larger editorial that points out the lie in the Jackals attacks on Bush that I pointed out here a couple weeks ago. Bush never said the threat from Saddam was imminent. In fact, he said the argument against the war that relied on the belief that there was not an imminent threat was irresponsible because there can be little certainty as to when a threat becomes imminent. Any responsible national security posture in a post 9/11 world eliminates the threat before it can become imminent. Of course, the suicidal fanatics on the Left have not yet figured this out.


OpinionJournal - Featured Article: "The larger trouble with the imminence threshold is that in a post-September 11 world it is impossible to define and is therefore dangerous. When can we really say that the World Trade Center attack was 'imminent?' Perhaps even Senator Graham would agree it was imminent on September 10, when the killers partied away in Portland, Maine, but of course by then it was too late to stop it except by luck."
