BTW, and the 45 minutes was only for battlefield weapons.

A fact that the Prime Minister has stated *he did not know* at the
time he spoke to the HoC about the need for military action in Iraq,
and that he therefore was justifying military action - in part - on an
understanding that Iraq possessed *strategic* WMDs with 45 minute
readiness.

Sounds like an intelligence cock up. Nevertheless a trivial point. They
could have WMD within days. Kelly said so.

I don't know why I bother

You shouldn't. You haven't got it yet.

... however: the UK was taken to war on a
justification based on Iraq's possession
of WMDs and their readiness
to use them.

It was not, that was only one aspect. Kelly said they can have then within
days. That is enough in itself.

You lack common sense. Stop being a brainwashed Little Middle Englander.
The country has far to many of these.
