I'm inclined to believe that:

1) Saddam miscalculate the US intentions
2) The US miscalculate the Iraq and Saddam intentions and/or capabilities

Anyone (not only Bush and Saddam) of them acted in his best interest 
with the informations he had at the moment. They probably were all wrong 
in a way or in another.

Are these miscalculation important?
I don't know and I don't think they were important.

Iraq is better today than when it was under Saddam rule.
One enemy of the west is no more in existance
al-Qaeda rushed in Iraq to seize the opportunity to install an islamic / 
sunni / wahabbi rule there and was grinded. They losed 10x or 20x (maybe 
more) men than the US forces, they spent anourmous quantities of 
supplies and money accomplishing nothing apart to be hated and dispised 
by the iraqis and gaining their lasting enemity.

Without the Iraq battlefield and the Afganistan one, many more resources 
would be free to be used in the West by the jihadist and their masters.

Now, if we (West) we are able to delay Iran and the Wahabbi enough so 
their economies go belly up like the USSR, we could avoid a big direct 
conflict inside and outside our borders. If not, it will be very 
interesting.
