Hello donkan-ga,

An interesting question!

Looking solely to uses or affirmations of the word "imminent" or
"immediate", here are three potential quotes, one by Donald Rumsfeld
and two by Ari Fliescher.  The one by Donald Rumsfeld seems
particularly strong.

"August 08, 2003: Fred Barnes, the WSJ, and the "imminent" myth"

You should be able to get more good quotes from the following three
collections and analyses of administration statements.  For example, I
think that this statement (found in the first link) qualifies: "Saddam
Hussein and his weapons are a direct threat to this country, to our
people, and to all free people.... I will not leave the American
people at the mercy of the Iraqi dictator and his weapons."

[Note: In the last document, you can find relevant quotes by searching
for words like "threat".]

Of course, you will want to confirm the accuracy of the quotes before
submitting them.  In general, you can do this by searching for short
excerpts from the quote (nine words or less, to fit within Google
search limits) in conjunction with the term site.gov.  For example:

'Searched the web for "Saddam Hussein and his weapons" "leave the
american people" site:gov'
Google
://www.google.com/search?q=%22Saddam+Hussein+and+his+weapons%22+%22leave+the+american+people%22+site:gov&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&filter=0

Search strategy:

I searched on Google for the phrases:

"immediate threat"
"imminent threat"

Then I searched for excerpts from the quotes I found.

I just realized that one of the quotes I mentioned (Bush would not
"leave the American people at the mercy of the Iraqi dictator and his
weapons") was mentioned on the contest page.  But you can easily
select other quotes from the pages I have cited.

Here's an obvious one, President Bush's State of the Union address
early this year:

"But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks
are not easily contained. Imagine those 19 hijackers with other
weapons and other plans -- this time armed by Saddam Hussein. It would
take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to
bring a day of horror like none we have ever known. We will do
everything in our power to make sure that that day never comes.
"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since
when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely
putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted
to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all
recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and
restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an
option.
"... America will not accept a serious and mounting threat to our
country, and our friends and our allies."
