The Louse that Roared

Speaking at an EU conference, Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi turned the tables on the world powers, calling for them to follow in the footsteps of Libya and dismantle all of their weapons of mass destruction.

Doesn't this coronation of Moammar remind you of that old movie "The Mouse That Roared" in some ways? (Everybody to get from street!) Has he figured out a chink in the world and US opinion armor that allows him, sincere or not, to be the hero of the century and an instant red-carpet-rolled-out-spokesman for the elimination of WMD? It is beyond irony, and seems so much like a movie that I can smell the popcorn.
