And since you mention it here, what exactly are "US accords" supposed to be? I don't remember the US having any authority over anyone else in the world.

US accords would be the agreements made by Saddam to end the first Gulf War which included minor things like not shooting at US planes in the no fly zone.
WMDs were not the only reason either but my last response covers why it is that some prefer to think in such simplistic terms.
