And they were saying that Saddam was not in compliance, and NOT cooperating with them.

That's not entirely correct. Toward the last few months, they reported a much greater degree of compliance, and they felt that this situation would continue to improve.

It was foolhardy for Bush to ignore their recommendations, as we can so clearly see now.
