You've missed the point.
Saddam was trying to maintain the status-quo. For a decade he was quite successful at keeping the world in the dark as to what WMD he did (or did not) have. (read: this was working for him)
The decision for the Bush admin
and congress, was; (in the wake of 9/11 of ignoring nasty guys) do we sit back and hope Saddam and his ilk don't (and won't) have some nasty WMD for future use?. . .or do we ENFORCE the cease-fire agreement Saddam agreed to, by sending in our own. . eh-em. . "inspectors"?
Could Bush etal handled this Saddam situation better? . ..likey.
Did Bush etal handled this Saddam situation well? . ..well, good enough for me not to "monday-morning qtr-back" the decision.
