I'd rather trust unbiased United Nations inspectors as opposed to a single Iraqi General who was (probably) paid off for his statements.

You trust the same UN that brought you the Oil for Food scandal? But lets look at what your trusting guy had to say before the war with Iraq, in 2003:

Resolution 687 (1991), like the subsequent resolutions I shall refer to, required cooperation by Iraq but such was often withheld or given grudgingly. Unlike South Africa, which decided on its own to eliminate its nuclear weapons and welcomed inspection as a means of creating confidence in its disarmament, Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance – not even today – of the disarmament, which was demanded of it and which it needs to carry out to win the confidence of the world and to live in peace. http://www.un.org/Depts/unmovic/Bx27.htm

There are of course, countless example by everyone around the world, including the UN, that Iraq was not cooperating, that he likely had WMDs, and that he was going to beomce an even bigger problem. Coupled with the after invasion reports that Sadaam was doing everything possibble to get rid of the UN so he could more easily pursue WMDs, and the many finds of unaccounted for WMDs, and to this day missing weapons that has been delcared, and it is obvious the UN was not right either.
