It does not excuse the lack of evidence for making the "imminent danger to America" case.

Huh? The case made by President Bush was precisely the opposite: That the danger, while not yet imminent, was of a nature that we could not wait until it became imminent:

Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option.

You can disagree with that position, as many do. But to say that Bush made an "imminent danger to America" case is not true. He made a "this is the sort of danger that should not be allowed to become imminent" case to America. And a majority of Americans agreed with that case.
