You could be right, but then why didn't Saddam let the UN back in?

I'm not sure what you mean, Saddam did let UN inspectors back in late 2002 I believe? It was our belief that Saddam was continuing to hide his WMD activities from the inspectors (remember Powell's UN presentation?) that led to our decision to go to war.

It was so useless what Saddam did - taking stuff out the back door while UN inspectors cooled their heels at the front door that UNSCOM said "forget it - it's impossible".
