WMD, WTF?

The British government's claim that such weaponry was deployable within "45" minutes is irrelevant from both sides, since if the weapons weren't there they couldn't be used at all, and if they were there they presumably existed in some condition of readiness.

Ah. So the fact that the British government told its citizens that Saddam Hussein could deploy WMDs within 45 minutes is irrelevant because, even though Saddam didn't have WMDs, if he had had them, he could have deployed them within some finite period of time.

Makes about as much sense as the Turkish bath story. Hey, Ahmad, is that an enormous tip under your robes, or are you just happy Chris does your p.r. work for free?
