Our pathetic excuse for intelligence agencies...

First they provide fake, false and bad Intel on the supposed "WMD's" in Iraq, but they never caught the fact that Libya had nukes only after they chose to voluntarily disarm and now this news about the Ukraine having sold long range missiles capible of carrying nukes to Iran and China as short as 4 years ago!!!! All after the fact!!! WTF????

I maintain, this gov't is run by the concept of 1000 monkeys over 1000 years working on 1000 typewriters will produce a work of literary art. Something is just bound to be right, huh????

Stupid, just plain mud fence stupid bastards.

I feel soooooooooooooooooo safe.

1. Could you point me...

... to a reputable source which reported that Libya had nuclear weapons?

Cheers.

2. Correction...

I was on a rant.
Libya had a nuke program, not nukes.

Even though, Iraq had nothing and here was Libya developing them, and we didn't know a thing until they said something.

4. Okay, that more or less...

... jives with what I remember reading. For the most part, what Libya turned over to IAEA inspectors was described as second-hand junk, and equipment you'd find in any research lab.

The closest thing they had to a nuclear weapons program were a few leftover gas centrifuge parts that they hadn't assembled or gotten to work together.

From what I've read, it sounded like kind of a half-hearted attempt at a program.

Cheers.
