Bush's Endless 'Predictive' Wars

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2004/101004.html

"In the months before the Iraq invasion in 2003, we began writing that
the proper term for the so-called Bush Doctrine was not “preemptive”
war but “predictive” war. Our reasoning was that “preemptive” war
required clear evidence that Iraq was threatening or preparing to
attack the United States, but George W. Bush was simply predicting that
Iraq might someday pose a threat."
