President George Bush reiterated yesterday the right of the U.S. to launch preemptive attacks anywhere in the world. He said, “America must remember the lessons of September the 11th. We must confront serious dangers before they fully materialize.” His speech came just three days after a Senate Intelligence report was released that found nearly all of the intelligence used to justify the Iraq invasion was wrong. But Bush continued to back his decision to wage war. He said, “Although we have not found stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, we were right to go into Iraq.”
