Kadaffi has pretty much turned over a new leaf and renounced terrorism.

We are in the process of restoring diplomatic relations, if we haven’t done so already.

The embargo has ended.

I’m not sure why we’d want to beat him over the head at the moment.

He has blood on his hands. We should have pounded his sand box until it resembled a sheet of glass.

But then... my reasons are personal.

Kadaffi hasn’t renounced anything. He got caught with a chinese nuke weapons kit by way of nk and pakistan and had to give up the goods so he didn’t end up like saddam. He still mouths off and will be back to his old ways as soon as hussein obama is President (God forbid).

Kadaffi has pretty much turned over a new leaf and renounced terrorism.

Which has been mostly due to the actions of Reagan and GWB. Reagan knocked on his door, and GWB reminded him when Saddam was dragged out of his “spider hole”. Kadaffi has not become one of the good guys, but he knows when it is in his best interest to keep a low profile and not make waves.

"Kadaffi has pretty much turned over a new leaf and renounced terrorism"

That's what he wanted everyone to think when he was in the crosshairs in 2003 and had been caught obtaining Pak and NK nuke program materials..... he did not want to be taken out like Saddam. BUT there was just a story from Iraq recently about jihad terrorists coming from Libya to Iraq, at least some of them apparently sponsored by one of Gaddafi's sons (don't know how solid the intel is, but that's been in the news in the past couple of weeks). I would not assume Libya is totally out of the terrorism game or the WMD quest without more time and more evidence.

If there does turn out to be a Libyan connection to jihad terrorists in Iraq then it will be time to fry Gaddafir once and for all. He's so much easier to get at than Iran......

Because there are recent stories of his son funding terrorists in Iraq. But heh, he’s turned a new leaf.

Yeah, I think he's branching out into modeling, hair dressing, glam rock, and hanging out at southern california rest stops.
