At the onset of Desert Storm II, American policy makers came to the conclusion that (1) Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) were stored in Iraq and ready for use, and (2) that Saddam Hussein's policies were destructive to peace in the region, principally because of the alleged WMD's. UN WMD inspectors were dispatched to Iraq, but at first were turned away, which fueled the flames. Finally, the US attacked Iraq, reportedly in order to recover or destroy any WMD, and to depose Saddam Hussein who, if the WMD's existed, had posed a clear and present danger to the US.
There are no substantiated reports of Iraqi-based terrorism against the US prior to Desert Storm II.
