Well did you even read the resolution? And there are only 2 ways to prove Iraq and Sadaam's government was in violation of the U.N. resolutions.
1. Have U.N. inspectors go into Iraq and inspect everything.
Which Sadaam has denied since before 1991. And would have continued to deny inspectors coming into his counrty.
2. Invade and look for ourselves.
That is probably why Congress gave him permission to do it. They knew Iraq and Sadaam was in violation of the resolutions that you have used as supporting evidence. But have you read them? The resolutions do state that Iraq and Sadaam will have to submit to inspections by the U.N.'s weapons inspectors.
And if you are naive to think that the U.N. is against the actions in Iraq then you should check out these links.
Remarks at the launch of the International Compact with Iraq
<quote>
From Secretary General United Nations:
The MNF (Multinational Forces) have faced great tribulations while executing their tasks. Many lives have been lost in the line of duty. There is no doubt that more must be done to bring a halt to the ongoing violence in Iraq, the brunt of which is being borne by innocent civilians. Beyond the terrorist attacks and sectarian violence, a humanitarian crisis is stretching the patience and ability of ordinary people to cope with everyday life. This makes it all the more important to develop a framework for Iraqs normalization. Essentially, the Compact represents a road map for the next five years aimed at helping Iraq to achieve its long-term goals of economic prosperity, political stability and lasting security. Much work will be needed to keep Iraq on track, but I am confident that the people and Government are up to the challenge.
