The news has delighted three American oil companies, Marathon, Amerada Hess, and ConocoPhillips whose Libyan leases were about to expire. They all pulled out of Libya in 1986 after the US imposed strict sanctions against the regime. Predicted Liberal/Media Spin = "it's all just about oil for Bush & Cheney's cronies".

Maybe you're being optimistic. Kaddafi's capitulation on nukes is only a piece of the story - the other key fact is that the US will now accommodate him. The latter is not a message you'd be willing to send to other rogue states - their very existence is the problem, not just their weapons.

If the Nobel Peace Prize were not so debased by some of it's recent recipients I would nominate President Bush and P.M. Blair for the next one.

Patience, grasshopper.
First, you try with the honey. IF that doesn't work, then you try the carrot.
If those do not work, then you show a Really Big Stick with the implied thread that we will use it.
I think it's almost time to take away the carrot, and bring in the big stick, like this one:

I believe you are precisely correct.
There will be no need to "attack" Iran. But there will be every reason to assist those Iranians on the side of freedom.
Iran will undergo a (mostly) peaceful revolution and rejoin the community of nations.

Iraq was also a partner, according to the Debka article. If so, then Qadaffi had TWO reasons for giving in:
1) He feared he would suffer the same fate as Saddam.
2) He feared that Saddam would rat on him.
Saddam's capture was key for both these reasons. And this will now put a lot of pressure on China to stop helping their North Korean friends defy us.

From the Debka article you posted: "More than a year ago, on October 25, 2002, DEBKA-Net-Weekly revealed that Libya aided by North Korea was working on a nuclear weapons program at a top-secret underground site near the Kufra Oasis of the Sahara in southeastern Libya. The team was made up of North Korean scientists, engineers and technicians, as well as 200-300 Iraqi nuclear scientists, whose salaries are paid to this day possibly out of Saddams secret bank accounts which are controlled by his cousin Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikrity.
The two Arab dictators were therefore partners in the development of a nuclear bomb. If Sharons intelligence was correct, the deposed Iraqi ruler would have been in a position to arm himself with a jointly-funded nuclear weapon at the same time as Qaddafi, by mid-2004. A small band of Iraqi scientists carrying the necessary items would have simply joined the traffic of Arab combatants and terrorists heading into Iraq through Syria and brought the weapons into the country. "

This should send chills down everyone's back.
If we hadn't invaded Iraq when we did, by next year, it may have been too late!
To: RightWhale
I'm thinking it was an open secret.Yet there are some people that are extremely skeptical of Debka.
To: Filibuster_60
Not that I have ANY sympathy for him, but I would suggest that Gaddafi increase his guard coverage. He just painted a bullseye right between his eyes. The partners of this clandestine alliance as well as other muslims are not going to take too well to his capitualtion to the U.S. and G.B.

Oh, no you don't! Not so fast there...we ALL know this is just more of dickcheney'sformercompany pulling another fast one and it has nothing to do with WMD that do NOT (nor have ever) existed and after all, this is costing the American taxpayer a gazillion-billion dollars that SHOULD be going for more medical care to the 100 million poor people who can't afford...blah, blah, blah.

"Bush and Blair bluffed that the plans were all drawn up for Libyan invasion."
==
What makes you think it was a bluff? Bush didn't bluff about Afghanistan or Iraq. I am sure if Kadafi hadn't seen the light now, we may well have seen a spring invasion into Libya.
To: okie01
I agree. Iranian students and others are all ready to go. Rather than intervene directly, we will do better to go after the last remaining holdout in the area, Syria. That would completely isolate the Iranian Mullahs. Then we could, if necessary, lean on the Iranian regime, but not invade.

This is just another example.

Israel will not give up its nukes.

Israel SHOULDN'T give up anything. They have the most to lose in any of this and are NOT threatening ANYONE. Israel cannot even "appear" to show any signs of weakness. We see what happens everytime they get a namby-pamby leader who starts down that road. NO WAY!!!

It looks like when Iraq fell, Gaddafi had lost the country he was going to sell the bomb to - so he had nothing to lose, and much to gain, by trading his WMDs for the dropping of US sanctions.

No offense, but many (myself included) feel they are a questionable source (to say the least).
And if this source that backs up Debka is so reliable, then why did it get pulled by the Mods from breaking news?
Not trying to pss on anyones parade, but how many WMDs FOUND!!! threads did we suffer through during the war?
Yawn....until Washington Times or FNN picks it up.

It would be nice to have Osama in the clink by then. I would like to see all the DemocRATS sit on their hands and show disrespect. Time to bring in the Iraqi ruling body (whatever they call themselves... the ones working to form a Constitution and a Government) like they did the Afghanistan President last year, and have them sit with Laura on the balcony. I Can't wait to see it.
