The story from Libya has many interesting facets. First off, why in the hell is Gadhafi just a Colonel? You'd think if you were a dictator of a country, you'd at least make yourself a General or something. . .

Also, are we to believe that he's dismantling his programs of WMD just because Saddam was caught in a "spider hole" earlier this week? Didn't we bomb the crap out of him back in '86? Isn't that what resulted the bombing of PanAm 103? Why is the United States the only country that can bomb other people without consequence? I also find this very odd:
Libya's nuclear effort was more advanced than previously thought, the official said. U.S. and British experts inspected components of a centrifuge program to enrich the uranium, though the system was not operational, the official said, briefing reporters at the White House on condition of anonymity.
So there are still Americans fighting and dying in Iraq looking for WMD (with no success), yet here's Libya who hasn't been on the Pentagon threat board since the Reagan administration and they're suddenly giving up stuff they already had cooking? Why is that?
