    Part of Iraq’s post-war peace terms from the Gulf War was that they’d permit WMD inspections, which they later stopped doing, triggering the Iraq War.

      Completely false. UN weapons inspectors were allowed in Iraq unconditionally from September 2022 right up until the US went to war in March 2023. They found no evidence that Iraq had any stockpiles of WMD. That kinda rained on Bush’s parade though, so his administration simply ignored those findings.
