Gaddafi says Libya came close to building bomb [Don't tell Joe Wilson!!]

It is true that Saddams nucelar program went to Libya in the mid 90's. Here is a March 2006 Powerline article on the topic:

ISSA [International Strategic Studies Association] has been saying for years that Saddam's nuclear program was primarily located in Libya. You might want to go to strategicstudies.org and check out the January 30, 2004 Iraqi war report. I'm having a hard time pulling up a link.
ISSA has written that they have better human intel in Libya than our own CIA. ISSA believed that as many as 20,000 Iraqis were in Libya working on WMD and missile development.

However, there were numerous failures to maintain the total secrecy of his actions at an operational intelligence level. This may have been inevitable, given the scope of the WMD programs being conducted in Libya, for example, where an estimated Iraqi workforce of up to 20,000 scientists, engineers and workers were engaged in WMD and missile development, and in other countries, such as Mauritania (intended as a launch site for ballistic missiles to threaten the US), where Iraqi intelligence officials were conducting aspects of the strategy.

If you research Libya's Nuclear assessment in the 90's on basically any site, it will mention an Iraq involvement. It was common knowledge. Obviously, it was no coinicidence that Libya gave up its WMD program as Saddam lost power, Libya losts its funding. It was made to appear as if Libya was scared by the US deposing Saddam and used him as an example for non-proliferation, but that wasnt the truth.
