AHC: Iraq War Averted

With a PoD no earlier than the 2002 SOTUA, how is the invasion of Iraq averted?

Note: OBL and crew must stay at large as OTL

EDIT ADD: Bonus points if PoD is after UNSCR 1441's passage on November 6, 2002

US media outlets dig up Hussein Kamil's UNSCOM and CNN testimony and give it coverage. (To say nothing of Scott Ritter...) Tories in the UK vote no on the war.
 
Have Colin Powell talk Bush out of it. He tried for 3 straight hours in a meeting in OTL, maybe this time he goes for 4 hours.
 
Saddam Hussein wises up and allows UN inspectors in, where they find his (very little) remaining chem and bio stocks, as well as the remains of the nuclear development program.

The problem with that is Mr Kamil had been dead since 1996, which could then be easily dismissed as outdated.
 
Well, UNSCOM was in Iraq until 1998. Further, Scott Ritter said Iraq was effectively disarmed in 2000.

I am just criticising what you seemed to be putting absolute faith in Kamil, who had left his position of Power in 1995. The problem with his statements is that at the time, he had been dead for 6-7 years, which in the intelligence communist (correct me on this), is a very long time.
