Of course he was.

we went after Saddam with more intelligence pointing to him as a threat than we had on al Qaeda before they attacked us. That's the bottom line. Quoting from David Kay's testimony(at http://www.cia.gov/cia/public_affairs/speeches/2003/david_kay_10022003.html ): "EVEN THE BULKIEST MATERIALS WE ARE SEARCHING FOR, IN THE QUANTITIES WE WOULD EXPECT TO FIND, CAN BE CONCEALED IN SPACES NOT MUCH LARGER THAN A TWO CAR GARAGE"

Colin Powell testified before the war: "Less than a pinch of ricin" causes "shock followed by circulatory failure. Death comes within 72 hours and there is no antidote, there is no cure. It is fatal."

Iraq provided al Qaeda with wmd expertise and technology in the 1990s. The 911 Commission, Richard Clarke and Clinton knew about it. Election amnesia prevents the lib media from reminding people on this.

the president won the argument when he said "Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans [...] It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known. [...] Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent."

* Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi : Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi, a Board member of the American Muslim Council, and co-founder of The American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans' Affairs Council, was arrested on as-yet-unspecified criminal charges at Dulles International Airport, after returning from London.
The American Muslim Council has been under investigation for furnishing money to terrorism, and the Veterans' Affairs Council, which helps the US military select Muslim chaplains,has become part of a broadening probe into the activities of Muslim service members at Guantanamo Bay, and elsewhere.
Al-Amoudi was identified in a 1996 Wall Street Journal article as a member of Hamas, and that had collected funds for the defense of one of the accused World Trade Center bombers. Nonetheless,according to author Steven Emerson,Hillary Clinton "worked closely with al-Amoudi".
The close relationship between the Clintons and al-Amoudi was traced back to 1995,when al-Amoudi was appointed a "Good Will Ambassador" to the Middle East. Once overseas, al-Amoudi was quoted as being thankful he could now speak freely, and he engaged in violent anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric. Despite this, the Clinton administration gave him high marks.
The "close relationship" with Hillary Clinton seems to have continued. In June 2000,the American Muslim Council donated $ 50,000. to Mrs. Clinton's senatorial campaign, and al-Amoudi added his own personal contribution of $ 1000.
The American Muslim Council donation was reported to the Federal Election Commisssion as a gift from "The American Museum Commission".When the discrepancy came to light, the Clinton campaign claimed the false entry was a "typographical error"; and eventually, the contribution was returned.
Al-Amoudi came to attention again on 6/26/01, after being arrested during an anti-Sharon protest at the White House.
On 9/11/01,while the United States was reeling from the attacks of violent Muslims,al-Amoudi was one of several influential Muslims who rushed sizeable contributions to the Cynthia Mc Kinney for Congress campaign: earning her lone opposition to American retaliation.
