Libya's leader Colonel Gaddafi has said his country sought to develop weapons of mass destruction capabilities but will dismantle this programme completely, Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced. "This decision is an historic one and a courageous one and I applaud it," Mr Blair said.
Colonel Gaddafi had told him the process of dismantling the programme would be "transparent and verifiable", the prime minister said in a statement from Durham Cathedral.
The range of all Libya's missiles would be restricted to "no more then 300km, he added.
Mr Blair said Britain had been engaged in talks with Libya for nine months.
"Libya came to us in March following successful negotiations on Lockerbie to see if it could resolve its weapons of mass destruction issue in a similarly cooperative manner," he said.

Yep, the stealth president strikes again.
It will be interesting to hear what Krazi Kaddaffy has to say behind closed doors about his WMDs.
Like what countries helped him, for example France, Germany, Russia, Iraq and ?.

and this CINC has shown he doesn't play games. And has carriers that have gone home to resupply and regroup...and within the year may have some sizable number of experienced-in-desert-fighting troops to call upon again.

I have been to Lockerbie...such a peaceful little place.I've been there too, called in on my way to Dumfries. It's very hard to imagine what happened that day to that little Scottish town.

YAHOO! MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AMERICANS (EXCEPT THOSE LIBERALS WHO CANNOT SEE PAST THEIR OWN MISERY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GREAT NEWS THIS PAST MONTH HAS BROUGHT!)

First came the toppling of the statue of $oddomite in Baghdad after a short few weeks of battle.
Then we captured him like a toothless and clawless old rat.
Then we showed the world what a first class coward and pussy he was/is.
Those images are zinging around the capitols of the despot world.
They had best change like Krazy Khaddaffy did or become the next wretched spectacle on tv.

That is last year's Chia Head.
Unless the ChiComs or the Japanese want to take Chia Head out, he has to take a number and stand behind the Murdering Mullahs of Iran and A$$ad of Syria. As that old song goes, his time will come soon enough.

A President who means what he says can have a lot of influence! Looks like the whole world's been waiting for a real leader to come along, eh?
