Khaddafi's dramatic change and the Bush Doctrine are completely unrelated, according to the leftist media. They haven't yet come up with an explanation for Moammar's actions, but one presumes they think he just realized the error of his ways on his own.
My own take is that Khaddafi got wind of planned terrorist attacks against the U.S. (probably related to the the nuke material sold to our enemies recently discovered to be tied to a "rogue" Pakistani scientist), and he didn't want to be on our retaliation list if the fit ever hit the shan.
Whatever the reason for Khaddafi's turnabout, he made a smart move. .....and it was a direct result of his realization that the Bush administration isn't playing around in the WOT, and isn't afraid to use resort to using any option.
She wants to return for a visit now that Libya and Khaddafi have come clean. She tells me the beaches are fabulous.
I marvel at how quickly the world can change. If you had told me in 1984 that in 20 years we'd be buddies with Poland, Romania, and Libya, I would have tried to get you into a psychiatric hospital.
