You don't show anything............ever.

You just run your mouth with whatever nonsense happens to spill into your previously empty head.

Until then you are just an annoyance.

RML has a hard time with "because".



Jilf, estimated by whom? I have rumours that the ex FM says there is still a stockpile. Has that become credible?

quote:

Gaddafi opened his weapons stockpiles to international inspection and is known to have stockpiles of 9.5 metric tonnes of mustard gas. His government has reportedly destroyed 50 per cent of its chemical weapons cache.

In 2003 soon after the toppling of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Libya agreed to dismantle its nuclear and chemical weapons programmes. source

quote:

As Muammar Qaddafi continues his violent crackdown on opposition protesters, U.S. officials are worried how far the embattled Libyan leader may go to neutralize the growing threat to his power.

According to a Wall Street Journal report ($), Qaddafi still possesses caches of mustard gas and other chemical weapons, as well as a stockpile of Scud B missiles and 1,000 metric tons of uranium yellowcake, leaving Washington skittish.

"When you have a guy who's as irrational as Qaddafi with some serious weapons at his disposal, it's always a concern," a U.S. official told the paper. "But we haven't yet seen him move to use any kind of mustard gas or chemical weapon." source

People are being gunned down in the streets and you call it "good bipartisan policy".

Or, people are being gunned down in the streets and you see a nice opportunity to turn it all into partisan bullshit with the opening words of your thread, RML.

Irish Spring doesn't do well on that sort of stink.

As for Kuhdaffy, the idea of seeing video of crowds dragging his body through the streets seems less awful all the time.

was all it deserved...people are being slaughtered because a dictator who was in power LOOOOONG before either Bush was in power is clinging to power, yet somehow its Bush's fault.....Fuck off was the politest thing I could come up with

A deal, which as LD pointed out, involved Libya giving up its WMD programs (however far fetched they were - not too far fetched since they already had a demonstrated chemical weapons capability) and turning over the accused terrorists in its custody...They did all that was asked of them, regardless of whether he is an asshole dictator..the west made demands, he complied so of course we must normalize relations with him...that's how it works when you are the "good guys"...you make a demand, they comply, you accept it..that's how it works.
Fair enough, Bush made a deal with Gadaffi, it was a deal that made that section of the world and a whole lot else safer...it was a good deal, it doesn't mean that that deal is responsible for the massacres going on in Libya today. The two are utterly unrelated, Gadaffi would still be in charge and still be clinging to power as murderously without the deal Bush made...the two are unrelated and you fucking well know it. Stop pretending you can't see...or maybe you aren't pretending and you are as dense as dawg thinks you are.

Bullshit..his regime had been in power for decades...you may have legitimized it in US eyes by that deal, but not to the rest of the world..and like I said...the US made demands, he met them..what choice do you have but to normalize...he did what you asked. Sure hindsight is 20:20 but anybody with 1/10th of a brain would have known he would fight hard to retain power, it has fuck all to do with the Bush deal...he was there before the bush deal, he would still be where he is without the Bush deal. The one is unconnected to the other, except, as LD has stated, it reduced the weapons that Gadaffi has to use. Yes its tragic what is happening, but at least he isn't spraying mustard gas on them.
