Who was it that said Saddam Hussein could attack us with chemical or biological weapons with only 45 minutes notice? Tony Blair?
What's your point?
By the way, Vladimir Putin could attack us with chemical or biological weapons with only 45 minutes notice, or, indeed, none at all. So could Jacques Chirac.
Again, what was your point?
I couldn't remember who said it, and whoever said it was definitely saying there was an imminent threat, even if they didn't use the word "imminent". My point was that an attack within 45 minutes is very imminent. What's your point? That 45 minutes isn't imminent, or that Jacques Chirac and Vladimir Putin are threats to the US and we should go to war with them?
