I find the timming of the Libia WMD and the Qaddafi flap...
suspect and to the advantage to this administration. Rove & Blair banged their heads for this one, I bet.

Today is the aniversity of the 1988 - Bomb kills 259 on London/NY Pan Am flight at 7:03 p.m.; crashes in Scottish village, Lockerbie

1. Interestingly

...and I've mentioned it before, this is another step in dissolving the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act. Which will mean that Japanese oil companies can work with Iran without the US looking stupid for not enforcing ILSA, and US oil companies can work with Libya on developing the Libya-Malta continental shelf.

Once again, the only way to figure these guys out is to follow the money.

(On edit:) Probably no small part of this is that ILSA was a Clinton-era sanctions act. Anything Clinton did = wrong to this administration.

3. I'm extremely suspicious of how they used Muammar al-Qaddafi
to subjugate us ignorant peons.

We are a people in thrall to the miracles of George W. Bush. Make no mistake about it!

5. Maybe to drown out the fact that...
Saddam was caught by the Kurds and the "capture" was a setup.

8. What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or
tinder?

Tim: I am an enchanter

Arthur: By what name are you known?

Tim: There are some who call me...Tim?

7. Libya began prior to Iraq war NO WMD nego. so as to lift sanctions
But every talking head is selling this as a result of the Iraq war.

Do these media types have any ethics?
