The Center for American Progress suggests that the Administration's current spin on Iraq - I think some in the media have chosen to use the word 'imminent.' Those were not words we used. We used 'grave and gathering' threat - is less than forthright: "This is about imminent threat." - White House spokesman Scott McClellan, 2/10/03 "The Iraqi regime is a threat of unique urgency." - President Bush, 10/2/02 "No terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq." - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, 9/19/02
