| Bush, Blair to visit Libya next year | |
| 2003-12-25 | |
US President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair will visit Libya next year, it was reported on Wednesday. "The British premier will visit Tripoli at the beginning of next year, followed by a visit by US President George Bush," Libyan Leader Muammar al-Qadhafi's son Saif al-Islam told the Asharq al-Awsat daily. "I foresee (the Bush visit) happening after the lifting of US sanctions which I believe should happen within three months at most," he told the London-based newspaper by telephone from Tripoli. On Tuesday, Libya's official JANA news agency reported that Foreign Minister Abd al-Rahman Shalgam had received an invitation from his British counterpart Jack Straw to visit London. The agency said Straw had telephoned Shalgham to congratulate him on Libya's decision to renounce its nuclear programme and to invite him to London.

| #5 Seems like wishful thinking. Also note, the French are not invited. I wonder when people will stop and consider that the only effective difference between WMD, and a WMD program, is time and the belief that they are different. |

| #3 BS! If fact, I still doubt that he had any WMD's worth talking about. He is a bigger Egomanaic than Hussein - this is all a big stage world act as far as I am concerned and we are going along with it for political value. If Bush walks on Libyan soil he better do after first tuesday in November or he has lost my vote. |
