And now they are kicking out the UN inspectors. I'm starting to have flashbacks of what Saddam did. If Saddam had allowed the inspectors to do there job, then Bush would have never went to war there. Remember?

Or...
he never would have had that excuse to go to war, and would have found another.

Yes, I do remember.

Hans Blix stated that the UN inspectors were close to completing their report and needed a small amount of time to finish their work. While Saddam had certainly not been cooperative, they felt they were able to complete an accurate assessment.

Rather than risk the embarrassment of a report that didn't back the claims that Saddam was an urgent threat...Bush in turn decided to invade.

Follow up reports by Bush's own inspectors came to basically the same conclusions as the UN team under Hans Blix. Saddam had no stockpiles of WMD and no active weapons programs.
