“President Bush gave the commencement address at West Point on June 1 [2002]. In language that echoed his State of the Union message, he said that the United States could not tolerate growing threats. He explained that containment was not possible when ‘unbalanced dictators with weapons of mass destruction can deliver those weapons on missiles or secretly provide them to terrorist allies.’ ”
