#1 Apparently NK and Iran while providing assistance to Libya, were also using Libya to produce parts for their own WMD programs, something Mo's capitulation will both hurt and expose. What was that about an "Axis" that was so wrong, you (Dem/Lefty/French/UN) assholes?

#2 So can we refer to the troops involved as the PSI Corps?

#3 RC!! A fellow traveler!

A B5 quote that Bush probably liked (based on events):
"Only one human captain has ever survived battle with the Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

#4 The ships that are seized represent a large capital loss for the smugglers. I imagine that the infrastructure to transport, load and unload the contraband is now threatened.

#5 SH -- look for an up-tick in piracy.

snellenr -- I almost hope the US and Britain DO form a permanent body for PSI, just so we can use the name.

#6 So. G'Daffy. Lockerby responsibility? WMD dismantling? WTF?

In the face of tyrant-hating skepticism, can one hope that, regardless of GâDaffyâs private thoughts and wishes, he has decided the best way to ~~stay alive, clean-shaven, and fully loused~~ ~~avoid Saddamification~~ retain power, is to start playing nice, like real humans do?

How can one doubt that the Taliban ass-kicking, isolating Arafat, and Saddam-bagging has everything to do with GâDaffy being, well, un-GâDaffy-like over the last couple of years? He knows how easily he could be flicked off the "throne"â¦

A boy can dream, can't he? Assuming M-Gad still retains visions of grandeur, he could put his efforts into pulling Africa out of its latrine-ditch existence, and leave a legacy of Afro-Arab leadership. Whoâs holding their breath for this? No one. Iâm just sayinâ, the Bush doctrine could finally refocus the grandiose visions of piss ant tyrant wannabes away from ruling the world, and toward making the world a better place to live in for the people in the neighborhood. That would be a historic geopolitical shift. And who better than Africans to bring Africa out of the darkness? Like I said, a boy can dreamâ¦
