Reason why its in Iraq is because if it went to the hague he'd probably get off.

All those killings were "police actions" within a sovergien state that he had legitamate power over, i.e every killing had de facto legality within iraqi law, he was the boss he could do what he liked.

Taking him to the international law courts would have been the worst thing ever for the US, saddam would have had the trump card of if the US doesnt recognise it niether should he. and with the doubious and complicated international vs sovergien state laws it is no where near the same as milosovic.
