I think it is you who inhabits the parallel universe. This last time that the inspectors were let into Iraq, Saddam and Co cooperated 100%, even letting the inspectors make surprise visits to Saddam's palaces. They started destroyed the al-samoud missiles. Where was the non-cooperation these last few months?
The US was virtually 100% certain that Saddam would act like he acted in the past, making life difficult for the inspectors. But he did not this time around. Instead he let them see whatever they wanted to see. When the US realized this, they started to fabricate intelligence reports, including the one which accused Iraq of trying to buy uranium from Niger - the CIA eventually admitted it was forged but did not know where it came from.
