Is Susan Rice Delusional?

This is one of those stories that doesn't pass the sanity test.
One of America's most senior diplomats claimed at the United Nations security council that Muammar Gaddafi is supplying his troops with Viagra to encourage mass rape, according to diplomats.

Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the UN made the claim while accusing Gaddafi of numerous human rights abuses. Earlier in the week Rice also claimed, without offering any evidence, that Iran is helping Syria suppress internal dissent.

Foreign affairs specialists expressed scepticism about both claims.
The Iran/Syrian story passes the plausibility test, but on the Viagra story, count me among the skeptics.
