An attempted assassination of the president's father who at the time was the president himself. Constant harrassment of the US's closest ally in the region (Israel). Publicly announcing they will fund the family's of anyone who makes a suicide attack on a US interest. Constantly flaunting violting the sanctions placed on them from the prior war.
Basically, Iraq did not fit the model for the middle east that the US had.
