A glance at Libya's banned-weapons stockpiles and programs, according to the Bush administration, and what Libya has promised to do on each:
NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Libya admitted to nuclear fuel projects, including possessing centrifuges and centrifuge parts used in uranium enrichment. Libya agreed to abandon all elements of its nuclear weapons program; to inform the International Atomic Energy Agency of all current nuclear programs; and to adhere to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
CHEMICAL WEAPONS
Libya showed American and British inspectors a significant quantity of mustard and bombs designed to be filled with the World War I-era chemical weapon, as well as ``chemical precursors'' that could be used to produce mustard and nerve agents. The country agreed to accept the restrictions of the chemical weapons treaty.
BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS
Libya acknowledged it intended to acquire equipment and develop capabilities to create biological weapons. Libya committed to renounce these programs and to accept outside inspections and the restrictions of the biological weapons treaty.
MISSILES
Libya admitted ``elements of the history of its cooperation with North Korea'' to develop extended-range Scud missiles. It agreed to destroy all ballistic missiles with ranges greater than 186 miles, and payloads greater than 1,100 pounds.
No, they don't actually believe it; they just say it.
If Libya had this, can anyone serious believe that Saddam really didn't have any WMD?!
