US Intel says Iran not Developing Nukes

[Tom_Turner]

I don't doubt Libya was in flux anyway, but I would not ignore the direct words of Gadhafi. The last sentence is quite instructive...

<< Gadhafi doesn't hide the fact that he always described Saddam as a dictator, but he openly criticised the United States when it invaded Iraq three years ago: "Who gave it [the United States] the right to depose a head of state?" He maintains that the invasion was unjustified, as Saddam had already renounced weapons of mass destruction. Moreover, he says that the use of armed force to eliminate any head of state one does not like is improper: "According to that principle, tomorrow might be Castro's turn, with troops sent to Cuba or to Gadhafi, or Mugabe, but also China or North Korea." >>

For what its worth though, Gadhafi and Sadam et al, were not friends of Al Quida and company to begin with.

No they weren't. In fact Bin Laden openly criticized al-Assad, Gadhafi and Saddam as secular Arab socialists.
