Bob Graham says US "less secure" now than before Iraq War....
Senator Graham, in New Hampshire, stated on the Hardball TV show that we as a nation decided that Iraq was a greater threat than Al Qaeda and Hezbollah and the focusing of our resources on Iraq has permitted Al Qaeda and other terrorists groups to regroup. We are "less secure" now than before the war, he stated. Furthermore, he said even if WMDs are found, they would need to be proven to have been an "imminent threat" to the US. The people had been told that they could have these WMDs ready to use in 45 minutes.

1. definately
Since * has invited any country that feels threatened by the US to act preemptively against us (fair is fair). Plus that security system the gov wants that will allow the US to hit anywhere in the world within 2 hours is pretty threatening.

2. And - if Rummy says the truth ;-) - they might have WMDs now
As Rumsfeld said: the WMD depots "might have been looted"; the weapons originally stored there therefore might be in terrorist hands now.
Assuming the Adminitration told the truth, of course.

4. That's the elephant in the room
If Blair and Bush are right, and there ARE WMD's, and we are not in control of them, WHO HAS THEM?

AND HOW DOES THIS MAKE US MORE SECURE?
