"So what's the problem?"

It's a pretty good bet that, as he sits in his fortified compound, Western airstrikes targeting his military, Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi rues the day he heeded US pressures and gave up his nuclear weapons program.
And, more than a bet, it's now a matter of record that Iranian leaders interpret Colonel Qaddafi's plight as a lesson in why not to compromise with the US and other international powers on nuclear development. Their assumption is that, were Qaddafi still in possession of his nuclear and other WMD programs, the West would have thought twice before it attacked.
What that lesson virtually guarantees, though, is that while Iran's nuclear program may have fallen off the front pages in the wake of Mideast turmoil and the Libyan conflict, the confrontation pitting Iran against the international community will eventually turn hotter than ever.
The resistance of Iran (as well as that of North Korea) to any compromise on nuclear programs is "only going to get worse as a result of the Libyan adventure," says Geoffrey Kemp, director of regional strategic programs at the Center for the National Interest in Washington. "Now the question of Iran is going to loom ever larger in the minds of many, and the administration is going to have to deal with this."

"So what's the problem?"
zero allowed the chess board to be custom set so there would be only one move ... check-mate.
MATE?, one may call out.
Yeah .... asshole.
(Not you, SC)
This has either got to be (a) Bush’s fault, or (b) not a problem anymore.
As I said days ago, this illegal war tells the little third world countries you are only safe if you are wired to a drop dead nuclear weapon. All the little daffeys of the world will have launching devices around their necks. What a stupid damn mess obummer has made.
bump
Thanks knarf, well put.
But the assholes that allowed zero in have forced many of us whom can't just sit and watch.
Gaddafy will prevail, and everyone on all sides will be pissed off at Zero. That’s what we call minimizing damage.
This who pile of sh** has been brought about by a bunch of united states educated college professors with no real life experience. And no popular support by the citizens of Libya. They are now scratching their collective heads and asses saying but it looked good on paper.
LOL! Even Hitler thinks he wasn’t so bad as zer0.
:’) The image used to reside on TinyPic, but a bunch of racist busybodies apparently got it removed.
/bingo
That picture isn’t even there. How did you do that?
I can’t “view image info,” and I can’t highlight it. It’s obviously visible, but it’s not there.
You’re amazing.
Would we have attacked Libya before they gave up their WMD?
Are we attacking Syria?
It’s a nuisance, but it’s a conversion of a pic file to an HTML table, so it can reside right on the page. :’) Some browsers won’t resolve it, so some people see nothing at all. :’)
I have no clue how to do that.
I need a keeper, I swear.
I captured a screen shot of it. We’ll see if Photobucket objects to the image.
