KADHAFI ADMITS WAR IN IRAQ CONVINCED LIBYA TO GIVE UP WMD

This isn't exactly front page news, but this victory in the war on terror shouldn't go unnoticed. Libyan leader Moammar Kadhafi said yesterday that his country is no longer pursuing weapons of mass destruction and wants better relations with the United States. And what has forced this sudden change of tune? That's right, the invasion of Iraq, overthrow of the government and capture of Saddam Hussein by the United States of America. That's what.

Asked directly if the war in Iraq had been a factor, Col. Kadhafi had this to say: "We made our own decision and our analysis on the current world situation, and we came to the conclusion.....that we can't....go ahead with having these programs." Translation: I don't want to be on George Bush's bad side. Speaking about the recent talks with visiting U.S. congressmen, Kadhafi gushed: "We are very much interested that we are able to understand each other. The problem before was that we were not able, we did not have a chance to sit down with each other and have a dalogue. Now we are able to understand each other." That's right, Moammar...we understand each other perfectly now. Do what we say, or else. It's that simple.

The point is this: would any of this have happened with a President Kerry in office? Absolutely not. We would be placating Islamic terrorists as we follow the same old policies of appeasement and "dialogue." If Libya wasn't absolutely certain that the United States meant business, none of this would be happening. It's the same reason North Korea is giving up their nukes. They know the score, plain and simple.

No matter what John Kerry and the Democrats say, terrorism is not a "law enforcement problem" and the war on terror has succeeded in making the world a safer place.

Another translation:

"I'm broke. I need US companies to buy my oil. I couldn't have finished these projects if I had wanted to because I have no dinero.

All of my wives were griping at me because their credit cards were cancelled for non-payment. Can you imagine 15 women constantly bombarding you with gripes and complaints all day long, every day?

It was more than I could take. I was secretly praying the US would invade and take me to P'cola just so I could escape this madness."

I have no doubt he's looking out for #1.
However...this is going to be a long trip through the woods, so bear with me...do you remember the movie "Back to the Future"? More importantly, do you remember who Dr. Whatshisface got the plutonium from? The Libyans. They were Public Enemy #1 in 1985. Pretty much all international terrorism was traced to Libyan support. Then Mr. Qadafi lost some tents and some "griping" wives, and we never really heard much from him after that.
If he's angling to sell oil to us, and, just so happens to help us eradicate a few Islamogoons to do so, I'm all for it. If Libya can be a moderate force in the middle east, maybe this bubbling cauldron of hatred can be kept from boiling over.

"Let's see if you b@$t@rd$ can do ninety!"

thanks a lot, DiamondDust...you have opened Pandora's box.

"I'll be back this way on Monday. We'll settle this then. Out there, in the street, in front of the Palace Saloon."

"When...high noon?"

"I do my killin' before breakfast. Seven o'clock!"

"Eight o'clock. I do my killin' after breakfast."

Ahh yeah!
