We have to remember that Saddam Hussain did allow UN inspectors into Iraq. Initially UNSCOM did the inspections and oversaw the destruction of biological weapon manufacturing facilities:
Although UNMOVIC had confirmed that Iraq had dismantled all WMD facilities and destroyed its arsenal, the Bush administration went ahead with the war.
Scott Ritter and David Kay (both prominent weapons inpectors in Iraq) refuted the existence of WMDs after 1998, while Hans Blix was ambigous in his assesment of Iraq's WMD capabilities.
Iraq did allow inspectors and complied with UN resolutions, but what really caused a problem was Iraq's inability to account for about 5% of its WMDs. It was that unaccounted 5%, and faulty intelligence that led to the war.
