They could have waited for Canada to get a consensus at the UN, which may have taken 90 days or so, but what was the rush? They should have directed their energy into Afghanistan, they may, have got Osama, at least they would be farther along, they had a coalition in Afghanistan. They had no real plan for winning. They created a vacuum and guess what filled it. Al Qaeda was on its way out and they gave them a big boost by destabilising Iraq.
