[President George W. Bush . . . justified the invasion of Iraq by
manipulation of uncertain intelligence about weapons of mass destruction,
and by a cynical campaign to persuade the public that Saddam Hussein was
linked to Al Qaeda and the attacks of September 11. The evidence did not
support this argument. --"The Official
Statement," Diplomats & Military Commanders for Change, June 16, 2004]
[Of all the ways Mr. Bush persuaded Americans to back the invasion of Iraq
last year, the most plainly dishonest was his effort to link his war of
choice with the battle against terrorists worldwide. . . .
There are two unpleasant alternatives: either Mr. Bush knew he was not
telling the truth, or he has a capacity for politically motivated
self-deception that is terrifying in the post-9/11 world.--Editorial: "The Plain
Truth," New York Times, June 17, 2004]

[Ten days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, President Bush was told in a highly classified
briefing that the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking the
Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein to the attacks and that there was scant
credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative ties with Al
Qaeda, . . .
One of the more intriguing things that Bush was told during the briefing was
that the few credible reports of contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda involved
attempts by Saddam Hussein to monitor the terrorist group. Saddam viewed Al
Qaeda as well as other theocratic radical Islamist organizations as a
potential threat to his secular regime.--Murray Waas, "Key Bush Intelligence Briefing Kept From Hill Panel," National
Journal, November 22, 2005]
