Not as an imminent threat:

"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."
