That's just coincidence. If they were that afraid of the USA, they wouldn't be helping the insurgents in Iraq.

I thought that Qaddafi was backed into a corner on that one. He knew that the cat was out of the nuclear bag as a vital shipment for his nuclear ambitions was blown. This set him back years and probably a lot of money. So why not just give it up? In return for doing so the French are building him a nuclear reactor anyway.

From the NY Times:

Published: January 1, 2004

The Bush administration acknowledged on Wednesday reports of the interception of an illegal shipment of thousands of parts of uranium-enrichment equipment bound for Libya. The operation took place nearly three months earlier.

The seizure in early October was followed by a decision by the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, to dismantle his nuclear weapons program, an American official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
