If they had proof of Saddam having WMD or links to al Qaida they would have played it, even after the fact. When I say intel I mean I've read a lot of the Congressional Panel's report. Granted a few bits are blacked out, but what is crystal clear is that the intel was extremely weak and based on assumption rather than fact.
