GW Bush has had Iraq in his sights for many years.
Partly because of his father, partly because of the oil, partly because Saddam is just an evil creep. 9-11 and last November's elections gave him all the excuse he needed. The UN route turned out to be a ruse. I dont think he ever intended to comply with the UN. His way or the highway.

"Congress has already spoken on this matter, and we have spoken clearly. In 1998 we passed the Iraqi Liberation Act, and President Clinton signed it, declaring our national policy to be a change of regime in Baghdad. Last October, after extensive debate, the Senate adopted by a vote of 77-23, which authorized the President to' …use the Armed Forces of the United States…to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq, and to enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.'
