Maybe not GW himself, however, there were those in his administration that planned around that idea, i.e. Wolfowitz. Bear in mind, that up until 9/11, a sizable chunk of intelligence and foreign policy officials were still in Cold War containment mode, especially after more recent actions in LATAM and Afghanistan. My understanding is that the invasion of Iraq had been in the works for some time, even before 9/11...
