Nope.
First, as has been said many times, the "artifacts" were prohibited under the terms of the '91 ceasefire.
Second, there was no evidence offered by Iraq that they had destroyed the weapons we know they had (we kept the reciepts). The UN inspectors reported only that they were encountering the same resistance from he regime that they always had.
Third, we attacked fully expecting chemical retaliation, thank goodness no such weapons were used. The threat of a nuclear reprisal could have had something to do with that.
