Yes. I think you are right about the Bush administration's motives, they are very hawkish. In hindsight, it might not have made any difference if they had waited. I don't think they believed there was any point in waiting, and only downside risk in letting Saddam prepare more. They wanted to catch him unprepared, and I guess they did. Like I said, I would not have gone to war with Iraq unless they attacked the US or one of its allies. But, I can understand why the US did push the war when they did. I think they also wanted to time it to have it done before summer.
