If such complicated weapons, have been ready for deployment in 45 minutes for so long, then that means that they are all already assembled, and in a location close to a launch site large enough to launch such weapons.
The launch site would also have to have a huge amount of fuel on-site to fuel the missles or rockets that are supposed to be capable of striking the UK.
There would also be a lot of staff present to prep the missles, arm them, fuel them, program them and launch them.
So that would mean they need places to live.
And if that's the case, then they would also need an infrastructure in place for the people.
So with such a huge amount of 'stuff' going on, surely that should have been spotted by now - especially seeing as its a flat country...
Iraq never had an active and working space program to the best of my knowlege. Also the USA or any other country for that matter has never accused IRAQ of having ICBM's. Which is the type of weapons you are thinking of. If Iraq did have that kind of weapon then they would be able to strike any country in the world at a push of a button.
