Calpundit provides a time line for the Bush administration’s rhetorical evolution on the Iraqi threat :
March 2003: Weapons of mass destruction.
June 2003: Weapons of mass destruction programs.
October 2003: Weapons of mass destruction-related programs.
January 2004: Weapons of mass destruction-related program activities.
Do you think the American public would have been so gung ho about launching a war against “weapons of mass destruction-related program activities”?
I guess that on paper Iraq did pose a “grave” danger to the United States. All it lacked was a delivery system to launch its weapons program activities against America.
