1998 intel is pretty irrelevant. The unknown factor was what if any efforts Saddam had made since 1998 to reconstitute his WMD program. Also what if any contact with Al Qaida did he have which put two and two together? These were legit fears. The UN inspections were going great, backed by a real threat of US force. The problem for Bush-Cheney is that they'd already decided to invade and occupy no matter what, even without an occupation plan. So they didn't wait for the inspections to be finished, they falsified "alarming" evidence and doctored intel they have to congress, the UN and everyone else. So even though Saddam turned out to be clean in terms of WMD of Al Qaida, they rushed forth nevertheless pretending their phony intel was true. 1998 was five years prior, and at the time CLinton bombed the hell out of every suspected WMD site. Now we know though that the WMD were actually desroyed in the early 90's and Clinton had been wrong too. Also, Clinton was not the one who rushed into Iraq, or ever suggested doing so. Bush-Cheney did.
