Ive checked back against the original HMSO document pages 3 & 4

"Saddam has used chemical weapons, not only against an enemy state, but against his own people. Intelligence reports make clear that he sees the building up of his WMD capability, and the belief overseas that he would use these weapons, as vital to his strategic interests, and in particular his goal of regional domination. And the document discloses that his military planning allows for some of the WMD to be ready within 45 minutes of an order to use them."

(My underlining)

Seems clear to me what the intelligence services reported.

You would have to be very dedicated, or very stupid, to misinterpret that.
