With NATO officials continuing to remind us that Libya isn’t going to wind up like Iraq, the latest speculation flying around about the nation is familiar, with officials wondering where the nation’s WMD stockpiles ended up.
Some officials are reportedly “anxious” about where the nation’s presumptive chemical weapons arsenal ended up, while others are speculating about the nuclear material, and where it might be.
The idle speculation doesn’t stop there, either, with British Foreign Secretary William Hague warning that its entirely conceivable that someone in the regime who might have access to the putative chemical weapons is liable to try to launch them at someone for some unknown reason.
Officials expressed further concern that al-Qaeda might get ahold of the chemical weapons. The US says the stockpiles “appear” to be under regime control, but that no one can be sure exactly what is happening with them.
Libya's WMDs – there are in the same place as Iraq's WMDs.
NATO supports al-Qaeda now calling them rebels, so they don't have to worry about that.
Whats new.?
They did in Afghannistan and certainly did in Bosnia and Serbia.
And still do.
Even illegally stripped Kosovo off the Serbs to give the islamic terrorist scum their own little empire.
Whats new?
Maybe an Islamic republic is what the democratic Libya will want; glad we helped them to that end.
Does the "Pottery Barn" rule appy here?
At least Libya didn't have their hand out all the time, like Israel.
As a Muslim I am happy to see a nation about to embrace shari'a as it's governing law. HOWEVER, at the same time I have grave doubts as to the 'Rebels' having the ability to implement shari'a with any level of moral or ethical responsibility, or with the prudence and thoughtful reflection its intricacies require. I fear this may simply devolve into a parody of an "Islamic nation", with various actors using shari'a as a tool to enforce their own particular brand of governance on the people of Libya. While I pray I am completely wrong and that this will turn out to be a model Islamic society, I have a sneaky suspicion we are going to see a LOT of personal and political agendas being pushed that will render shari'a into a dark shadow of what it is supposed to be- and play right into the hands of anti-Islamists.
WMD Iraq has them
The Libyan WMD's are in Foggy Rasmussen's head. (Foggy's the NATO secretary general, who is neither secretary, nor general.)

(Translated: Somebody (we don't know who) might have access to weapons which might exist (we don't know if they do or not) and might try to use them on somebody else (we don't know who or how) for some reason (that we don't know of).)
So, basically, you're making up a story to scare people. Or did I miss something?
