Hussein had many, many chances to allow the verification, and stymied it each time over a period of 10 years. He showed no signs of changing, apparently believing that no one, including Bush (most curiously) would, in fact, call his bluff. Why he made that grave miscalculation we'll likely never know, but he did.
I'm pretty confident that given unfettered access to the country we would have found any WMD currently existing. In fact, I think that last 18 months have proven that definitively. Why Hussein required war to get us to that result is beyond me.
