Simon, you are conflating two ideas here. I remember no such

could attack us with WMDs in 45 minutes.
That was very much how it was pushed in the UK. We were told in very black
and white terms that Hussain has WMDs, the American's knew exactly where
and that they could deploy them against us in 45 mins. It was never
mentioned that this was only on the battlefield, the implication being
that London, Edinburgh etc were targets.
