Saddam appeared to have complied with everything except for accurately reporting on his compliance. I watched this stuff closely and he certianly was trying to hide the fact that he had no WMD, falsely assuming that Bush wouldn't invade.

That being said, the Iraq Study Group which was ridiculed by Cheney was dead right in its assessment of Iraq, and were simply asking for time to finish their report when Bush said it was go time.

Seems like they knew the window of opportunity was closing.
