Maybe not knowingly.
But that doesn't excuse him for not asking enough questions and for being naive about the power vacuum that would be left in Iraq when he advocated for war there.
Anyone with half a brain knew it was a bad idea to go into Iraq and knew that the power vacuum would be filled with violent terrorists and warlords jockeying for position. Anyone with half a brain also knows that Middle Eastern culture is not conducive to democracy and it requires a strong man or an oligarchy to rule those countries.
But the War Machine has to eat and make profits. And so WOMD was the reason.

If he didn't know, it was only because the real presidents Daddy-Bush Sr. and CHeney didn't think he was smart enough to be read-in on the details. The invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq was planned long before 9/11....it just couldn't happen without a "catalyzing event such as new Pearl Harbor" to gain the support of the people. (quote from the PNAC document on how we should take over the Middle East)
