Brumar, re: "Gaddafi said flat out the Iraq war influenced him. I quoted this for you - you continue to deny reality."

Don't be naive. That was undoubtedly part of the deal: "Just say that our invasion of Iraq scared you into capitulating and we'll give you the deal you've been trying to get for years. You know, the one where we forget that you've killed Americans and say that you're now a good guy and can trade and all that."

Or maybe you have some other explanation for why a Middle Eastern leader would spontaneously volunteer; "I was so scared I gave up?"

I bet that made him a hero in that Machismo part of the world. Think! Ed
