Iraq wasn't threatening with snowballs -- Rumsfeld

Or with any actual weaponry, either.

Loose cannon Don Rumsfeld, at a security conference in Munich today, defended the misadministration's first-strike military pre-emption policy by saying weapons of mass destruction were not snowballs.

"If someone is going to throw a snowball at you, you may not want to act pre-emptively. You can afford to take the blow and do something after the fact," he said to the sound of dropping jaws. "As you go up the scale from snowballs to the weapon of mass destruction, at some point...there's not going to be a snowball in your face but a biological weapon that can kill tens of thousands of human beings...The greater the danger, the lower the threshold for action."
