Subject: Re: But I thought that the UK was Qaddafi's best buddy after that Lockerbie intrigue..how quickly things turn... oh and they"re not MY opinion
GT: I was referring to them being an opinion of those who wrote the articles, not you!!
As for Gadhafi being the UK's bestis buddy I think the release might have been part of the deal to get Gadhafi to stop thinking Nuclear. That UK arms companies have been supplying him.. that as far as I've heard since this war has started has stopped or is being stopped. It seemed the justification for selling him arms was that as a country Libya was allowed to defend itself.
If you can try and watch Question time.. BBC prog.. the point on arms sales was brought up. Last weeks or the one before I think.
