And some day, some way, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal.” IfsWayGivingWellsUseOpportunityLostCommunityFailingWeaponsMassProgramDestructionThirdsInternationalIraqGuaranteesWhat IfRoutesSaddamWeapons Of Mass DestructionMass DestructionArsenalAmbiguousInternational Community Book:Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: William J.

“Alternatively, suppose Qaddafi winds up hanging from a lamppost in his favorite party dress. If you're a Third World dictator, what lessons would you draw? Qaddafi was the thug who came in from the cold, the one who (in the wake of Saddam's fall) renounced his nuclear program and was supposedly rehabilitated in the chancelleries of the West. He was a strong partner in the war on terrorism, according to U.S. diplomats. And what did Washington do?
