Did the economic sanctions not work with Gaddafi?

How long had economic sanctions been in place against Libya? 10 years?

And what did it consist of? An embargo on air travel, arms sales, and restrictions on sales of certain oil related equipment.. Big whoopie!!

And with his WMD and nuclear program, have we found anything substantive as yet?

Libya's a big country Chinu.. But I will admit that it's encouraging that we've been granted cooperative access to the facilities..

But we still don't have a credible inventory list against which to judge compliance.. But we will likely find out who has been the proliferator of that equipment (probably pakistan and NK) to nations like Libya.

But you know that the US/UK intel agents did not commence negotiations with Qaddafi until AFTER the overthrow of Saddam....

I call it highly coincidental..
