Bush didn't say that Gadhafi disarmed because of fear of conflict, Gadhafi said that. Perhaps Gadhafi was talking out of his backside to win favor for sanction-ending goodies when he made those remarks, but they are in the public record. But there was no reason for him to be scared, because there was no US plan to attack Lybia after Iraq; Syria, Iran, and North Korea were being mentioned as possible candidates. How do we know that? ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
