Libya Irked At Bush's "Dog-And-Pony Show"

If Bush declares this a victory, it was dumped in his lap at best. Libya volunteered this action. And they too have fallen the victim to Preznit Flightsuit's latest stripping of a country's dignity. They don't like it one bit.

Libya Disappointed by Nuclear Show, Official Says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Washington offended Libya with its display of the north African nation's dismantled nuclear weapons, an official close to the United Nations nuclear watchdog said on Tuesday.

The White House displayed for the media on Monday components flown out of Tripoli in late January under a sudden Libyan agreement to rid itself of weapons of mass destruction.

"Libya was quite unhappy with this dog-and-pony show because it hurts them domestically (and) in the Arab world," said the senior official close to the U.N. watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"It looks like unilateral U.S. disarmament of Libya and Libya wants it recognized as disarmament under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and IAEA auspices," the Vienna-based official added.
