Okay, so you want to talk about the US threat. Below is a link to an analysis of the threat with many links to info on the subject...the conclusion:

...the regime of Saddam Hussein harbored and provided tacit if not active support to a terrorist organization that attempted to kill hundreds if not thousands of innocent people last year. Such an action constitutes a clear example of an imminent threat to US if not global security and is in of itself a clear and rational if not moral justification for removing the Baathist regime from power.

Special Analysis: The Imminent Threat

So were they lying based on this assessment of the situation? I think not.

By that standard, we are facing an imminent threat from every government in the Middle East and should invade them all instantly. I think that sort of dilutes the meaning of "imminent."
