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.

"The guy is such a whack job that he never promoted himself past Colonel."

A man's got to know his limitations.

Bush still can't pronounce "nulclear".
But I'll bet he can spell it. :

Maybe not, all that maters is he knows what it means.

That is true. I am totally amazed at how many folks misprounounce it. It's:

NU'-KLEE-UR !

The two tend to be more effective used together than separately, a concept the Clinton Administration never quite understood.

You can get more with a kind word and a carrier battle group then you can with just a kind word. :P

I noticed they waited until Hans Blix had taken another job in Sweden.

March 19,2003......was the night we went after Saddam.

That night was given birth to this stunner.

How bout this for a reason to celebrate?

Libya has "high quality sweet crude oil "....easy to turn into fuel.....very good news for the oil companies, so says a CNN reporter.

Wolf Blitzer is admitting this is a story the media may have missed. LOL

It might be worth it to watch ABC's Peter Jennings tonight..he and Martha Raddish will be distraught!! I'll be interested to see if the networks lead with this one.

Dean: "I'm willing to negotiate."

Either that, or the Dems will claim that, even with a 50 state landslide, Bush somehow still stole the election.
