Jay Rockefeller is on Fox News Sunday arguing that the president lied about the imminence of the Iraqi threat. Tony Snow points out the president never used the word, that he, in fact, said that we could not wait for Saddam to become an imminent threat. Rockefeller responds that he was at the speech and was close to the president when he delivered it (the SOTU) and imminence was “the feeling” that one came away from the speech with, whatever the president said. Snow then points out that Rockefeller himself said the threat was imminent, not the president. But that’s the president’s fault, says Rockefeller–he put “psychological pressure” on Congress.
