I still think that is what Qadafi gave up when he turned over his nuke program. He had the hot potato in his lap and didn't want it any more.

Exactly. When we didn't find them in Iraq, he knew the very next place we would come looking for them was in Libya. So what this is saying is that Iraq's WMD was found just in another country!

Yes, bad intelligence, maybe but suppose we wanted to get the head of the snake and hope the rest would fold.

Exactly right. When Qadafi seen what happened to Iraq and things were getting warm, he gave it up. Look at some of the changes in the region. The pressure needs to be kept up.
