I hear job openings are up in DC. How about a cush job holding K-man's hand while we suck their oil fields dry? ==== Top U.S. official to go to Libya to cement ties Wed Aug 15, 2007 7:27PM EDT By Sue Pleming WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The State Department's point man on Libya will visit there next week to cement closer ties with Tripoli and plan a visit by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David Welch is due in Tripoli midweek on his first visit there since the case of the jailed Bulgarian and Palestinian medics was resolved last month. "We wanted an interval to pass after the Bulgarian medics' case so that we could have a good conversation with the Libyan leadership," said a senior U.S. official of Welch's visit. "We want to consult with them about all matters of regional concern and of course discuss how to move forward with our bilateral relationship," added the official, who asked not to be named. Another goal was to lay the groundwork for a visit to Libya, likely before the end of this year, by Rice, said the official. Such a visit would be a tangible sign of the improved relationship. "We have a very important chance to memorialize the shift in the relationship," said the official of a visit by Rice. "We have not set a date for it but the goal would be for that to happen this year." Relations between the United States and Libya, a major oil producer, have improved dramatically since Tripoli gave up weapons of mass destruction in 2003.
