1. Find a tinpot country with a loopy dictator who craves to be taken seriously.
2. Give him the option of surrendering his miniscule amount of chemical weapons that are so old they would probably be ineffective and that he can't deliver any further than Egypt in return for a 'statesman's role' on the international scene.
3. Present result as vindication of Iraqi war. "Look, the bad man can't give nasty weapons to nasty terrorists now."
Now as long as we don't mention that he has been executing thousands of Islamic fundamentalists in the last few years, people will believe this!

Exactly, plus Qadhafi is no fool. This move puts pressure on Israel to come clean, and gives Qadhafi the spotlight his ego desires

Yeah, it was a great move by this guy, he had everything to gain in the situation, he showed an intelligence you don't see often in these regime countries. Look how fucking stupid Saddam was, he lost both his sons and his freedom because he wanted to play hide the pea with Hans Blix.

Cool, pretty soon only the U.S. will have WMDs. I wonder what the point of that is.

So we rule the world and can't be fucked with. What's wrong with that? Self-preservation is #1 on evvvvvverybody's list, don't kid yourself.
