As a casual observer you casually missed what actually occured... in reality.

Throughout the entire Clinton administration, Saddam Hussein thwarted ALL, (yes ALL) UN, not USA, but UN Security Council demands to allow inspectors in to find and destroy what ALL (ALL, yes ALL... I will type it again so you can finally GET IT: ALL) the members of the UN Security counsil members agreed were WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!! Hello people! It wasn’t your favorite "demon" or "Hitler" (Goerge W.) but the UN SECURITY COUNCIL!!!!!!!!

That body determined, UNANIMOUSLY, that Iraq had, held, maintained, and HID WMD’s. United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 passed in 1991 (hmmmmmmmm... who was President then?) called for Iraq to unconditionally accept the destruction, removal, or rendering harmless all chemical and biological weapons and all stocks of agents and all related subsystems and components and all research, development, support and manufacturing facilities; all ballistic missiles with a range greater than 150 kilometers and related parts and repair and production facilities and agree to urgent on-site inspection. Not good enough?

That same world-governing body went on to state that it was aware of the use by Iraq of ballistic missiles in UNPROVOKED (emphasis mine) attacks and therefore of the need to take specific measures in regard to such missiles located in Iraq; concerned that Iraq has attempted to acquire materials for a nuclear-weapons programme contrary to its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of July 1968.

What happened?? Saddam, whom all you liberals are so wont to defend, did NOT comply nor did Bill Clinton lift a finger to make him comply.

Then the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1441 which states in part (READ THIS BLEEDING_HEART LIBERALS!):

SECURITY COUNCIL HOLDS IRAQ IN ‘MATERIAL BREACH’ OF DISARMAMENT OBLIGATIONS,
OFFERS FINAL CHANCE TO COMPLY, UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTING RESOLUTION 1441 (2002)

(Again, a UNANIMOUS UN Security Council, NOT George W. Bush)

“Recalling that its resolution 678 (1990) authorized Member States to use all necessary means to uphold and implement its resolution 660 (1990) of 2 August 1990 and all relevant resolutions subsequent to resolution 660 (1990) and to restore international peace and security in the area,

Iraq has not provided an accurate, full, final, and complete disclosure, as required by resolution 687 (1991), of all aspects of its programmes to develop weapons of mass destruction

Iraq repeatedly obstructed immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access to sites designated by the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), failed to cooperate fully and unconditionally with UNSCOM and IAEA weapons inspectors, as required by resolution 687 (1991), and ultimately ceased all cooperation with UNSCOM and the IAEA in 1998,

“Deploring the absence, since December 1998, in Iraq of international monitoring, inspection, and verification, as required by relevant resolutions, of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, in spite of the Council’s repeated demands that Iraq provide immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access to the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission , and regretting the consequent prolonging of the crisis in the region and the suffering of the Iraqi people,

Iraq has failed to comply with its commitments pursuant to resolution 687 (1991) with regard to terrorism, pursuant to resolution 688 (1991) to end repression of its civilian population and to provide access by international humanitarian organizations to all those in need of assistance in Iraq

rectifying Iraq’s continued failure to comply with relevant Council resolutions,

With vitually YEARS to move, hide, dismantle, destroy or otherwise conceal weapons, missiles and their production & launch sites, that’s what Saddam did! Wouldn’t YOU? The WHOLE UN Security Council KNEW, they didn’t suspect, they KNEW Iraq had WMD’s. What more do you people need?????????????????????????????????????????????????
