As outlined previously, he was a supporter of terrorism (large or small doesn't matter) and he served as an example of the "worst case scenario" for states who support terrorism or show aggression toward the US.
When making such a point you don't exactly create press releases that say, "Hey we're invading Iraq to show you what might happen to you if you continue to support terrorists and/or show aggression to US forces."
