Can a false statement have intention to interfere if it's...
so ridiculous that it can't possibly deceive? Any politician naive enough to believe that Al-Qaeda's and Saddam's agents would do anything but shoot each other on sight would never make politician in the first place. And neither is any schoolboy going to be afraid of a war industry bombed and heavily sanctioned for over a decade. Anybody that gullible or unaware would be eaten alive by his first, political circle.
No one was decieved - they all knew it was rubbish. Rather, every Senator and Congressman either wanted the war regardless or weren't going to commit political suicide by opposing it.
I would say more so for Presidents as they must be even shrewder to defeat fiercer competition. But the current one defies logic. Perhaps everything was devised to deceive him.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
- Mark Renton, Trainspotting.
