I hear Arafat is going to replace Tom Ridge as Director of Homeland Security.
Arabs are treacherous evil liars.
The White House doesn't believe or trust Khadaffy.
They are just playing his game because it suits us, for the moment.

This is hyooge! I wonder if Kadaffi can survive this. He (and his country) will certainly be set upon by the terrorists.

If John F'em Ke(rr)y or Algore were President, would Libya be joining our side in the War on Terror, even symbolically?

We really trust them that easily?? How naive.
I thought it was rather convenient that no WMD were found in Iraq but at the same time Lybia chooses to come clean and try to make nice with the civilized world by surrendering it's WMD's. Sounds to me like Hussein slipped them out the back door to Lybia whilst the UN was stalling the invasion, giving Lybia a nice stock pile that cost them nothing to surrender to the free world.
Meanwhile, hidden somewhere in the most remote reaches of North Africa lies the fruit of Lybia's labor to be sold on the black market.
I wouldn't be surprised if theres a nuke hidden somewhere in this peace offering.

Holy crap ... you gotta be kidding me.
The Bush Doctrine etches itself even more deeply in the history books as the Clinton Legacy keeps getting smalllllllllller.

Libya's Gadaffi and Pakistan's Musharraf have both made very intelligent choices. Musharraf was smart enough to realize that Pakistan was high on the list of likely retaliatory targets after 9/11. Gadaffi was smart enough to realize that Libya would be high on the list of likely retaliatory targets if a future 9/11 happened. They both realized that the U.S. wasn't bluffing anymore, and that there would be lethal consequences for terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.
So each decided that his best hope for survival was to cooperate. And that meant cooperating fully. Half-hearted cooperation would just piss off both sides and gain nothing. Full cooperation would piss off the terrorists but would be rewarded by the U.S. and would safeguard them from U.S. retaliation. They both obviously concluded that U.S. enmity posed a greater risk than Al Queda enmity and the hostility of their own Islamist-sympathizing citizens.
So I don't see Gadaffi's actions as a trick. He's made his choice, and there's no going back. Now he might as well go all the way in joining the War on Terrorism so as to reap the benefits (e.g., the Shell deal).

Libya on Thursday brought to an end decades of international isolation as a pariah state with a promise to join forces with the United States of America and the United Kingdom to fight the global war against terrorism Well, Libya's taking the Bush Doctrine seriously.

Looks good, doesn't it? I'll be surprised if we get much out of him, but it does look good. Bushes' 'War on Terror' is working, no matter how the rats spin it.

Kerry's answer to this news: The war on terrorism is a complete waste of time, the results are nothing but bad, Iraq was wrong, and the Arab world is not taking notice.
