It's a silly phrase.  But Godfrey will tell you that "mass" is a sarcastic  
elision of "masses of people".

Unless of course they're designed for an attack on the Catholic church.   
But why bother, when you've got Ratzinger?

So when Bush and Blair say "They have weapons of mass destruction",  
they are simply employing a sarcastic elision of "They have no weapons  
of mass destruction".
Weapons of mass destruction do not actually destroy mass. The best they  
can do is rearrange it.
