In the March 2004, Presidential Studies Quarterly, Professor James P. Pfiffner wrote: “ ‘From the publicly available evidence, the president [Bush] misled the country in implying that there was a connection between Saddam and 9/11. The administration’s claims about Iraq’s nuclear capacity were based on dubious evidence that was presented in a misleading manner. … Claims of Saddam’s ability to deliver these weapons, however, were exaggerated. Finally, there was circumstantial and inconclusive evidence that in 2002 the intelligence community may have been under unusual pressure to support the administration’s goals.’ ” [The 15th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
