"...he had the capability of making weapons and he could have passed that capability on to an enemy" like the Al-Qaeda network that carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks..."

Technically, that is true of almost anyone in the world. We all have the capability of making weapons, and we can all pass that capability on to others.

The key questions should be:
1) Does someone or some group have the capability of making weapons of mass destruction?
2) Are they able to pass that capability on to someone or some group that doesn't already possess that capability?
3) Are they very likely to do so?
4) Have they already done so?
5) Is that group very likely to be a threat?

Going to war should require an affirmative to most of these questions, and probably all five. Bush's criteria for war has no real restrictions at all.
