The 45 minutes was for readiness of missiles to hit Israel - there was never a hint that Saddam had missiles capable of reaching the UK.
However, anyone with sense understood that IF he had retained the same weapons he used to gas '000s of Kurds, and IF he loaded his Scuds with WMD, and IF he fired them at Israel - such action could very well spark Israeli use of their buckets of instant sunshine and a huge conflagration in the Middle East.
It is also obvious that huge pressure was brought to bear by Israel on the USA to engage in a strike on Iraq, and that we were subsequently prressured to join in.
As for Mrs Duffy, perhaps you Daveites should get your own house in order before casting stones at others...
For instance, last week we saw the amazing treatment of the Tory MP Andrew Tyrie, a thoughtful and distinguished man.
Mr Tyrie made the bad mistake of believing that free speech still exists in his party, and criticised the leadership.
He was then taken into custody by a pair of Downing Street thought police officers, and soon afterwards emerged with his mind completely changed.
Humiliating pictures of this event then found their way to the newspapers.
I take it you and thousands of other Tory supporters studiously ignored them ?
1st Oct 2011 - "The Government has come under fire for not having a "coherent and credible" plan for economic growth in an attack by the Treasury Select Committee's chairman. The Big Society, localism, the green strategy - whether right or wrong, these and other initiatives have seemed at best irrelevant to the task in hand, if not downright contradictory to it, likewise the huge spending hike on overseas aid and the cost of the Libyan expedition."
3rd Oct 2011 (2 days later) The Conservative chairman of the Commons Treasury Committee has backed George Osborne, days after criticising government economic policy. Andrew Tyrie had questioned if enough was being done to encourage growth, but said that Mr Osborne had now set out a coherent plan.
Mr Tyrie denied that he had been "nobbled" by No 10 to retract his criticism.
Hahahahahahahahaha
