Dr. Ivan Eland, Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Peace & Liberty at the Independent Institute, on U.S. Iraq Policy Uncovered:
Although in the past, the president has admitted that no connection existed between the September 11 attacks and Saddam Hussein, he and other administration officials, including Vice President Cheney, have repeatedly implied just such a link by associating the invasion of Iraq with the “war on terror.” He continued this Goebbels-like propaganda behavior during the show. The president stated, “I made the decision [to invade Iraq] based upon that intelligence in the context of the war against terror. In other words, we were attacked, and therefore every threat had to be reanalyzed. . . . Every potential harm to America had to be judged in the context of this war on terror.” More specifically, the president later said of Saddam Hussein, “he had the capacity to make a weapon [of mass destruction], and then let that weapon fall into the hands of a shadowy terrorist network.” On the subject of the most important (really the only) weapon of mass destruction, he argued that Hussein “could have developed a nuclear weapon over time—I’m not saying immediately, but over time.”
