Bush? Cheney? Rice? Powell? Engghhhhh. Ding. WRONG.
No, it was John 'Breck' Edwards. He did so on CNN. February 24, 2002. CNN Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer.
Here is the exact quote:
KING: Senator Edwards, when discussing the North Korean problem, the president wants to confront the regime, deal with its own missiles program plus its exports. There is not a reasonable military option when it comes to North Korea is there?
EDWARDS: Well, I don't think we're focused on military options right now, John.
I think it was important, in answer to your last question, it was important for the president to go to the region. I think he did help alleviate some of the concerns that people in that area had about this "axis of evil" comment.
But I do think that the more serious question going forward is, what are we going to do? I mean, we have three different countries that, while they all present serious problems for the United States -- they're dictatorships, they're involved in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- you know, the most imminent, clear and present threat to our country is not the same from those three countries. I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to our country.
And I think they -- as a result, we have to, as we go forward and as we develop policies about how we're going to deal with each of these countries and what action, if any, we're going to take with respect to them, I think each of them have to be dealt with on their own merits.
And they do, in my judgment, present different threats. And I think Iraq and Saddam Hussein present the most serious and most imminent threat.
So the next time you read some lefty's Letter to The Editor (as I see parroted all the time) claiming Bush lied by calling Iraq an imminent threat (he and others in the admin. said words to the effect that we did not want to wait until Iraq was an imminent threat, because it would then be too late), just tell them to tell that to Pretty Boy Edwards.
who?
Edwards is such a pitiful little man.
Do we care what the Breck Girl thinks?
"My Little Pony" needs to STFU about things he knows nothing about. Edwards is without a doubt one of the most ignorant (and of course arrogant) one-term Senators to ever stroll into office, if he wants the worst president in the 20th century, he needs look no further than the last two 'Rat presidents, the Sinner (Clinton) and the (har-har-laugh-chuckle) "Saint" (Carter).
It's a damn miracle America survived those two SOBs.
Edwards makes Barbara Boxer look like an intellectual.
Do wonder why they keep bringing all the losers out?
This from the imbecile who gave us "Two Americas".
You mean he thinks?
Who cares what this loser thinks?!? Oh, ABC. Never mind.
When he spots an ambulance ...
Sen Edwrds, which candidate beat you and Sen Kerry last time out? Remember, when you point a finger, there are 3 more pointing back at YOU!
If I needed a lawyer to help me make a big score after an accident, I'd call Edwards.
However, the disciples of Mohammed will not be defeated by tort lawyers.
Well, FORMER Senator, why don't you spend a little less time talking about President Bush and a little MORE time wondering if you were the single worst senator in North Carolina's history?
This guy makes me sick. He basically spat on his constituents, in voting with Ted Kennedy for 6 years.

Love the middle one!
I don't think Edwards or sKerry either one will ever realize they lost the election. Talk about keeping in extreme denial.
Its too bad Burr didn't have the pleasure of ousting him from office in 2004.
Once again we hear the tired 'Republicans divide people' to win elections nonsense. Forgetting that elections are inherently about division, it also betrays the elitists mindset of leftwingers like Edwards; when conservatives/Republicans win votes on contentious matters -- like gay marriage for example -- then they are guilty of 'dividing' the nation, but when the Left/Dems has a few judges impose a leftwing outcome then that's somehow unifying!
Well please don't forget FDR who may be the worst or at "best" 2nd worst president in our history.
