Gadhafi Was Caught Red Handed
The WashTimes is reporting that it wasn't the Iraq war that caused Gadhafi to surrender his WMD program.....he got busted.
The United States intercepted an illegal shipment of thousands of parts of uranium-enrichment equipment bound for Libya in October, leading to Tripoli agreeing to cap its weapons program, U.S. officials confirmed yesterday.
Since Libya doesn't have a nuclear energy program, it was impossible to deny for what use the equipment was intended.
Now the US & Britain will be investigating just how extensive Libya's WMD program was....even though the IAEA doesn't want us there.
IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Tuesday he did not want American or British help on the ground in Libya.
"As far as I'm concerned, we have the mandate, and we intend to do it alone," he said.
But senior American officials confirmed an active U.S. and British role and said Libya's programs were far more extensive than the U.N. agency had disclosed.
How many times have we heard that a country's program was "far more extensive than the U.N. agency had disclosed"? As far as I'm concerned, given the IAEA's track record, they couldn't find their ass with both hands.
What are they good for anyway?

At least the IAEA were able to deduce that the Niger Yellowcake documents were a complete phony in a matter of 20 minutes, something the Bush administration couldn't do in months. Idiots.

Do you ever read anything besides the DU? You really should get out more.
