Nukes found in libya

[bodecea]

People really seem to be jumping to conclusions here. I still don't see how it is possible to have a loose nuclear weapon in Libya, and we certainly haven't seen any evidence of one. Currently, I would say I'm much less worried about a loose nuclear weapon in Libya than one in Pakistan, which actually has plenty of fully functional weapons in marginally-secured facilities.

When was the last time Pakistan flew a plane in a tall building? al qaeda now controls Libya with the help of obama.

Ah...so finding the HEAD of Al Qaeda in Pakistan means that Pakistan has nothing to do with Al Qaeda. Got it.

Well actually,,,,,,It's no surprise now!!!!!! But it was back in 2003,,,,it was!!!!!

Bush official: Libya's nuclear program a surprise
December 19, 2003

Libya's nuclear weapons program was "much further advanced" than U.S. and British intelligence agencies had thought, and included centrifuges and a uranium-enrichment program, all necessary components in making a nuclear bomb, a senior Bush administration official said Friday.

"Libya admitted to nuclear fuel-cycle projects that were intended to support a nuclear weapons program, weapons development, including uranium enrichment," this official said.

The acknowledgment of a nuclear program marked the first time Libya has ever done so. The U.S. and British governments said Friday that Libya has agreed to abandon its weapons of mass destruction programs and to allow international weapons inspectors into the country.

The Bush official said Libya also showed a team of United Nations and British inspectors "a significant amount of mustard" gas -- a lethal nerve agent that can cause internal and external bleeding. The gas was produced more than a decade ago, the official said

Disarming Libya: Weapons of Mass
Destruction
Sharon A. Squassoni and Andrew Feickert
Specialists in National Defense
Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division
Summary
On December 19, 2003, Libya announced it would dismantle its weapons of mass
destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs. Since then, U.S., British, and
international officials have inspected and removed or destroyed key components of those
programs, and Libya has provided valuable information, particularly about foreign
suppliers. Libya’s WMD disarmament is a critical step towards reintegration into the
world community, and a necessary but probably not sufficient prerequisite for lifting
U.S. sanctions. This report will be updated as needed. See also CRS Issue Brief IB

So what happened? Did Lybia show us everything? Why weren't all the weapons destroyed? What's the whole story?

 

[Avorysuds]

So Obama's Libya war mongering victory now turns out to be possibly a horrible mistake, lol... Who could have seen that coming.... Seems the old ass founding fathers did when they said keep your Dick out of others peoples countries, that’s a direct quote btw.

I can’t wait for the spin, I bet it will be something like Obama saved the country from WWIII

Jefferson was a Founding Father, right?

It's a surprise to some people even now, but whats so very bad about this is our enemy that we are actually fighting has access to nukes assisted by obama. mr "lead from the back"

Yes. Are you trying to make a point?

WAAH! Runs screaming into the night!!!!

LMAO at the fear driven fraidy cats out there.

I thought that was Barney Frank's nickname.

Your bias for obama as turned your mental state to stupidity.

 

[Douger]

I'm not really sure what to make of that. Libya had a nuclear program, but by all accounts they were quite far from a weapon. I sincerely doubt they could even have developed a functional "dirty bomb". If there actually was a functional weapon found, this seems like very big news.

DooooWhaaaaaaaaat ?
All you need to make a "dirty bomb" is some hospital waste and black powder or tnt.

 

[Douger]

Thats great!!

And obama helped our enemy get those weapons

You're fucken right he did, there is no end to his wanting of this nation to fail.

Obama and al CIA duh aren't the only ones.

I think that there are a lot of conjectures here. First, he said nuclear weapons but did not specify the type. It may have just been regular bombs with nuclear material in them (dirty bombs) or it may be disinformation. There is a possibility that there could be a few nukes there since the Russians lost a few and it is also possible that the N Koreans may be exporting a few around the world.

As to Libya manufacturing weapons, they would have had to get fissionable material from someone else. And that folks is the central issue here. Making a bomb is simple but getting enough fissionable material in the right concentration is the big obstacle to creating a weapon.

As to terrorists gaining nukes, it is going to happen sooner or later. Pakistan is of course the main focal point here because of the unrest there but if they lose a nuke I suspect whoever gets the nuke would target India, not the US.

obama just helped to "sooner" happen now than the "sooner" happening later down the road. He sent our troops to Libya with no idea or clue as to what he was doing. He knew Al Qaeda was in Libya trying to oust Qaddafi. I wonder if their next plane into a tall building will have a nuke on it?

 

[Conservative]

I still have not seen anything other than the OP article that mentions nukes found in Libya. nothing in the 'mainstream' media. Lots on chemical weapons, but nada on nukes.

I am taking you off ignore so I can neg your lying ass everytime you make a post in any thread I start.
Now do you honestly think the American media would allow this bit of information out against obama? After all they have defended him for the last 4 years. the media has kept certain bits of information from the general public that would not make their little god look so good.

More scarey BS propaganda for the sky is falling dupes.Change the channel, morons.

[Mad Scientist]

It's ok, just leave them there. Ron Paul says it's no problem.

Did Qaddafi use them on anyone? Nope.

Russia had thousands of nukes but they didn't use any of them for how many years?
