A Timeline: How Did False Evidence Make It to the President?

Major combat in Iraq is over, but some of the evidence President Bush used to justify the war is still being hotly contested.

In January 2003, the president used his State of the Union speech to argue for war on Iraq. He said: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Those allegations has turned out to be false, and now the president is facing one of his biggest political challenges since the war on terror began.

ABCNEWS has assembled a timeline to help readers understand how the false information made it into one of the president's most important speeches.
