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.
Speaking of media. I was listening to the Peacenik radio station this afternnoon and the host of one of their terrible shows told about seeing Helen Thomas in a coffee shop after the 911 hearings.
She said she asked Helen if Clarke would do Bush in and Helen said, " Oh God, I hope so. We must get rid of that lying, murdering BASTARD!" Not biased at all, right?
