Libya moves forward
Today, Libya announced in a report to the U.N. that it had stockpiles of 20 tons of Mustard Gas. From an article in
BBC:
bq. Libya has declared a 20-ton stockpile of deadly mustard gas in a full report on its chemical weapons programmes submitted to the UN on Friday.
bq. The Libyans also detailed large amounts of chemicals used to make nerve gas.
bq. The UN says the declaration is a major step towards eliminating Libya's weapons of mass destruction.
bq. It follows Libya's surprise announcement in December that it was scrapping its weapons programmes, in a bid to end its international isolation.
This is very good -- I have written about Libya before. Their switch from terrorist-supporting to western supporting will be a huge benefit for them and will serve as proof to the radical Islamist world that we keep our word.
