While the operation in Libya against the Gaddafi regime is in full swing, some reports have surfaced that the Pentagon was planning a nuclear strike on Libya decades ago.

­Professor Michel Chossudovsky from the Centre for Research on Globalization claims that the US has planned nuclear strikes on Libya on a number of occasions in the past.

"It was suggested by the Pentagon [in 1997] that this weapon should be used against Libya. But in fact it was quite explicit because they said that this weapon would be available for possible use against a suspected underground chemical factory being built by Libya at Tarhunah, which is a city 60 km from Tripoli."

According to Professor Michel Chossudovsky, a B61-11, a tactical nuclear weapon with approximately the explosive capacity of two-thirds of the Hiroshima bomb, was tested a few days ago. It was tested using a B-2 Spirit aircraft, which has been used during the Libyan operation. It is known as a very sophisticated heavy bomber equipped to deliver tactical nuclear warheads.

However, Chossudovsky says there is no evidence that these weapons are being prepared use in Libya.

Sigh... What is up with RT these days? Seriously? Have they not heard of the nuclear posture review, which specifically states the US will not use nuclear weapons against a non nuclear state. Last I checked, Libya gave up its nuclear program after the start of the Iraq invasion and also gave up AQ khan and his mischievous behavior

When this USA is actually rogue and terrorizing the world, RT in its real reporting and their knowledgable guest interviews give food for thought. You will never get the straight truth from the Murdick media. There is troop movement here and has been reported 20,000 troops to "take care of us" Every thing Obama says is a factual lie. Impeachment or coup, both are an honorable undertaking. Try al jazirra.

Generally, the middle east isn't a viable long-term commitment for the west now. Incremental withdrawal will be followed by a "warning shot" tactical nuke strike. That will continue in the case of any state that raises its head above the parapet thereafter and is deemed a threat.

@tanksta0wns oh yea sure, the most violent and open tyrant and propagandist claiming to be a victim of propaganda. America is the only country to have used nuclear weapon against a not just anon nuclear country but anyone at all. Why dont you get some education, and do the WHOLE world a favor.
