I musta missed it.

What part is wrong?

Maybe I don't understand you. I have heard any number of left-wing wackos accusing the President of LYING to us by saying that the Irag threat was imminent, which is not what he said. He said we should not wait until the threat is imminent. So I guess you are right that Lurch is saying that he would act on imminent threats, which is less proactive than Bush's position. Of course, the Lurch would never find a threat to be imminent until it was too late. I guess that is why the left's position is to cut military funds while putting more money into emergency services, since they won't react until we get attacked.

NOTE:
Contrary to Rush's analysis, yesterday,
'imminent threat' as THE kerry criterion for war
in fact predates the kerry 'sensitive war' comment

As President, I will wage this war with the lessons I learned in war.  Before you go to battle, you have to be able to look a parent in the eye and truthfully say: "I tried everything possible to avoid sending your son or daughter into harm's way. But we had no choice. We had to protect the American people, fundamental American values from a threat that was real and imminent."  So lesson one, this is the only justification for going to war.

I believe I can fight a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror that reaches out to other nations and brings them to our side and lives up to American values in history.
