Laz, we had been dealing with Saddam's BS for a decade before we first learned that NK had been secretly violating the agreement with us. We had been in essentially a shooting war with Saddam for years in the "no fly zones". In order to protect those whom Saddam would otherwise slaughter, we already had a significant presence in & around Iraq. Every single intelligence agency, including the UN all believed that Saddam had "stockpiles" of unaccounted for WMD's, ET AL. Remember, it was a "slam dunk". The UN, as usual had utterly failed to deal with Saddam, NK, or any other rouge regime on the planet, leaving us stretched woefully thin (thanks Clinton) to deal with every pressing matter. And there are a number of other strategic reasons why we needed to deal directly & forcibly with Saddam first. Many of which I'm sure we will never be privy to.
