I do have a different opinion. To start, I think the military was pissed off they got bombed and are frustrated at not having clearly defined national targets to go after that were responsible. they decided that Saddam was bad enough and the easiest target to go after since almost everyone recognizes him to be a ruthless dictator. The sad fact is that the creators of the "weapons of mass destruction" of 9/11 were Boeing and American Airlines, not Saddam. If any country was responsible, it's our "ally", Saudi Arabia.

That frustration has led to bad timing, bull-headiness, and calcification of opinions that is more damaging to U.S. interests than Saddam could hope to be.
