The Congressman believed it was likely that the White House was fabricating evidence to generate support for invading Iraq:
"It would not surprise me if they came with some information that is not provable and they shifted. First they said it was al Qaeda, then they said it was weapons of mass destruction. Now they're going back and saying it's al Qaeda again. When will that stop? [...] I think the President would mislead the American people."
