EXACTLY! he didn't let inspectors in for a long while and it wasn't Bush it was the UN doing the inspecting
why does everybody ASSUME that there had to be a big factory
to produce WMD, he had already gassed Kurds by the thousands
so it was a familiar weapon
did you know that enough gas could be made in an area the size of a pickup truck bed to kill a country? do you realize that it would be real easy to just bury that truck before the inspectors get there?

UN inspectors were in in Iraq for 4 months prior to the US led invasion....no weapons were found....
from a CBS news story:
"U.N. weapons inspectors arrived in Baghdad for the first time in four years on Nov. 27, 2002 and resumed inspections two days later. During four months of inspections, arms experts traveled the length of the country hunting for banned weapons of mass destruction. "

To create a stand-off with the united states in which HE thought the UN and other nations would come to his aid and prevent invasion using diplomatic arm twisting, thereby knocking the USA down a few notches. Saddam also believed he could somehow unite the arab world against the united states. Apparently he didnt realize that the United states would unite the arab world against the United states by invading a country which posed No threat to us.

He did allow inspectors in off and on, but he also had a spy placed high up in UNSCOM who would tip off Iraq on planned inspections. Iraq would then either move that material, or invent an excuse to delay the team while it was in transit.

He had thousand of gallons of fantastically centred organophosphates, (nerve brokers), and warheads that have been shown to have been full of those comparable nerve brokers. It grew to become into written off as insecticide. That begs the question, Are the cockroaches in Iraq rather so enormous you desire to shoot them with a 120MM cannon, loaded with the chemical equivalent of 500 gallons of RAID?

What are you talking about? He did let inspectors in multiple times.
Why di you capitalize every word? That's really annoying.

He is a tyrant, and doesn't want anyone bothering the way he is operating his country. It would make him look like he's giving in to the rest of the world, he probably just wanted to scare the entire world by letting them think he had them, when it was just a bluff.

I'm sure there were people who testified about Iraq, and
said they did have WMDs, hoping we WOULD attack. And some
that said they had them, hoping we WOULDN'T attack. Who
knows what a mans motivation is?

Not sticking up for him, but would you invite a gang of strangers to come into your room and paw all your stuff?
