Your ability to spin gymnastics is noted. We invaded to steal their oil, but then realized, wait, the Muslims will notice so we'd better not do it after all.

If he was out to stop the proliferation of WMD, why not North Korea? Why not Iran?

Would you have gone along with that? NK and Iran really are threats. If the support for Bush hadn't fallen off, he might have been able to do more about those countries. As it is, Kaddafi was scared into abandoning his nuke program.
