Actually, that isn't true.
The UNMOVIC Task Force stated that for the most part, they could not test whether Iraq was in compliance with UNSC Resolution 1441 for several months. This lead Canada, Germany, and France to reject supporting a UN resolution to invade Iraq, so the United States, United Kingdom, and others invaded without UN support.
In fact, Special Operations teams were inside of Iraq a full month before Saddam Hussein was asked to step down. So even if the UN had supported it, the United States was already committed to an invasion.
