It's not often I get to cite a link from Fox News as bizarre as this one so since the video is from Shep Smith's show today I'll use their text as well.

Could a lovestruck dictator be the reason why Libya abandoned its weapons of mass destruction program?

The evidence is thin, but Muammar al-Qaddafi appears to have had a crush on Condoleezza Rice, at least that's what a find by rebels at Qaddafi's Tripoli compound have uncovered in the form of a photo album dedicated solely to the former U.S. secretary of state.

Apparently Qaddafi's adoration of Rice was no secret.

"Leezza, Leezza, Leezza ... I love her very much," the colonel reportedly told Al Jazeera in 2007, calling her his "darling black African woman."

Rice had dinner with the despot in 2008 at the compound where the photos were found. At the time, Qaddafi reportedly greeted the secretary of state by putting his hand against his heart.
