In the pre invasion (or immediately post invasion) speech, he stressed this. He stressed the 17 or so UN resolutions. He did stress those aspects. The media, in their coverage, did not. This IS how he justified the invasion. |

I do remember him trying to use the non-compliance argument, but when the UN refused to go along with him, he began to rely more heavily on the WMD angle. Btw, Saddam was in default on the cease-fire terms, but that was up to the UN to take care of, not us. I was disgusted with their lack of enforcement, but it was not an excuse for our government to invade another country. Bush knew that the WMD argument was too weak- everyone could (and did) point out many other countries that met or exceeded the threat of Saddam Hussein.

Well, here's the thing. Violation of the cease fire was not reason enough for the invasion. The cease fire actually called for several other diplomatic strategies. Force was only as a last resort. So, to push things towards that last resort, Bush began to invent threats.
