The left's complaint was that the Iraq threat was not imminent, the implication being that 'imminent threat' is, in fact, sufficient cause for war.

Thus, contrary to Rush's point today, the addition of "imminent threat" in kerry's speech adds nothing new to current leftist doctrine.

And adding 'imminent threat' is certainly not consistent with the Bush Doctrine. The underlying premise of the Bush Doctrine is that, post-9/11, we cannot afford to wait for threats to become imminent.

Not Quite. The left's complaint was that Bush said it was an imminent threat. You better listen to Rush's archive on his website. You totally missed the point.
