Donald Rumsfeld practically shat himself on Face the Nation while trying to deny that anyone in the administration ever referred to Iraq as an "immeditate threat." Obviously, the White House has backed away from the idea of Iraq as an immediate danger, so why is it still repeated? I also strongly suspect that If the US had any secret intelligence that confirmed their justifications for war, we'd have heard of it long ago.
