Why didn't Saddam allow the inspectors in, demonstrate to the satisfaction of the UN that he had destroyed all WMD capability, and move on with his life, free of sanctions?

Let me count the possibilities:

1) Saddam actually had WMD but we have't found them yet;

2) Saddam actually had WMD but moved them elsewhere during the prolonged runup to the war;

3) Saddam actually destroyed all WMD long before the war but didn't want to admit it because they acted as a deterrent;

4) Saddam's administration destroyed all the WMD but didn't tell him because of fear that he would kill them;

5) Saddam never actually had WMD but was faking everybody out because he wanted to impress people (see Kim Jong Il);

6) Saddam never actually had WMD but the US, the UN, and every other intelligence agency on earth was fabricating it (especially the Jews, the Zionists, and the Neocons);

7) Saddam was secretly in the pay of the CIA, the Jews, the Zionists, or the Neocons, a puppet whose job was undermining the security of Iraq and the Middle East;

8) The US has discovered Saddam's WMD but is holding back in order to flummox the Democrats in the upcoming election(s);

9) This spot is available for hire.
