WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (news - web sites) on Sunday disputed a White House assertion that it was right to topple Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) even if he had no illegal weapons because he posed a future threat.


The North Carolina senator, appearing on several television news programs, said Saddam's intention to eventually gather weapons of mass destruction was one of dozens of such threats.


"There are lots of threats waiting to happen all over the world," Edwards said. "That doesn't mean that that justifies invading a country."


Edwards was responding to U.S. national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, who told "Fox News Sunday" that President Bush was "absolutely" correct to have launched the invasion of Iraq even if they had known, as they do now, that the former Iraqi president had no stockpiles of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
