It required bush to come back to congress with evidence of an iminent threat before going to war.

Do you doubt the necesity to disarm Saddam of WMD? I sure as hell dont if he has em or not we need to be sure he is dissarmed.

He never said bush should just wait 30 days then invade thats wild spin on a statement he made saying that if there was evidence of WMD Sadam should be given 30-60 days to disarm and if he refused that we should then go to war. Something I agree with whole heartedly . I would much rather he had the chance to disarm voluntarily than we send troops in to do it forcibly.

Dean has been exactly on target throughout. Kerry meanwhile chose to push bushes lies even when he knew they were untrue....

(Videotape, October 9, 2002):
SEN. KERRY: Iraq has some lethal and incapacitating agents and is capable of quickly producing weaponizing of a variety of such agents, including anthrax, for delivery on a range of vehicles, such as bombs, missiles, aerial sprayers and covert operatives which would bring them to the United States itself.
In addition, we know they are developing unmanned aerial vehicles capable of delivering chemical and biological warfare agents.
According to the CIA’s report, all U.S. intelligence experts agree that they are seeking nuclear weapons. There is little question that Saddam Hussein wants to develop them.
In the wake of September 11, who among us can say with any certainty to anybody that the weapons might not be used against our troops or against allies in the region? Who can say that this master of miscalculation will not develop a weapon of mass destruction even greater, a nuclear weapon?

MR. RUSSERT: Unmanned aerial vehicles...
SEN. KERRY: Sure.
MR. RUSSERT: ...a nuclear threat. Those are exactly the things that you suggested in New Hampshire President Bush had lied to you about.
MR. RUSSERT: But you had access to the intelligence. You had access to the national intelligence estimate...
SEN. KERRY: Absolutely.
MR. RUSSERT: ...which said the CIA had a low confidence in Saddam Hussein using weapons of mass destruction or transferring the terrorists. And the State Department, which is included in the national intelligence estimate, said there was not a compelling case, that he reconstituted his nuclear program.
