Not a fact. There were inspectors on the ground just before the invasion. Saddam didn't cooperate earlier because he charged the the UN inspectors had US spies infiltrating his country. We found out that Saddam was right. Also why would weapon inspectors want to inspect his palace. Do you honestly think Saddam was storing his stockpile at his palace. Read the actual reports. Ritter, Kelly and Kay have said the US were making the inspections more difficult than Saddam had. We also know that Saddam was afraid of Iran attacking so he wanted the world to believe he was not defenseless.
Yes this is partly right. Also hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were suffering through US bombing. The embargo and bombing were acts of the US and UN.
Not a fact. he UN (through the UK and US) were toying with Saddam. Saddam was complying more and more. Read the actual reports and not the cherry picked versions by the US media. Scholar Ramon Das, in the Human Rights Research Journal of the New Zealand Center for Public Law, examined each of the "most widely accepted ethical frameworks" in the context of violations of Iraqi human rights under the sanctions, finding that "primary responsibility rests with the UNSC [United Nations Security Council]" under these frameworks, including rights-utilitarianism, moral Kantianism, and consequentialism. Many academics, American and UN officials, and Iraqi citizens contend that this ignored the overriding control of Saddam Hussein and the corrupt contractors who maintained it, as well as the consequences of allowing Hussein to continue his policies with no deterrence and unlimited capacity
Actually, that's the closet thing to a fact you've said.
