Did Abramoff Know about the Iraq War a Year Before?

March 18, 2002 Jack Abramoff sent an email that said "It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel, but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq." This was 7 months before Congress authorized the president to go war and at the same time as the Downing Street Memos. It's not a "slam-dunk" but it seems worth gossiping about.
