The intelligence it was based on was the same as informed the previous administration - note that Bush left Carter's CIA chief in charge. That's why the Carter administration personnel mostly supported the war.

Links to AQ were real, though Iraq was not behind 911 as the Bush administration said..

The repression of the citizens gets rather short mention. And nowhere does it talk about bringing democracy to the Iraqi people. And even that is only mentioned in the preamble. When it gets to the meat of the resolution, it isn't one of the listed issues.
