  4. I hope that the French enjoy their oil and I hope that our government sends them a bill for the cost of Canada’s participation in supporting the French support of the Islamic rebel’s side in Libya’s civil war.
    At this point it should be noted that the new Libyan government has no intention of extraditing Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi to the United States.
    No doubt that since Qaddafi is now dead the chanting of ‘death to Israel’ and ‘death to the United States’ will resume in Libyan Mosks.

  6. Well, Muammar Qaddafi wasn’t the worst of them.
    And Bambi is emerging as an effective killer. He looks the part – slight, a touch effeminate, graceful, cold hearted. He would be a perfect Bond villain.
    Louis Farrakhan was not completely wrong when he said that Obama was a murderer; but murder is unsanctioned killing,
    whereas Obama can sanction what he does.

  7. I don’t know if we can give Obama credit, but a lot of good $/!+ is happening to some bad guys.

  8. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss..
    Oh, and grok, Franco is as dead as Chevy Chase’s career.

  9. It never is wrong to eliminate any “Killer”. The only fact we can be sure of now is that the new Government will NOT take over were Gaddafi left off.
    There are so many armed factions and tribes that no one knows what will be the outcome.

  10. Well that’s the price one dictator will pay when not wanting to do business with the global banking cartel. He could have remained dictator had been willing to go along.

  11. Howie at 4:39 PM: “I hope that Bashir Assad takes note of this.”
    —————
    Baby Assad must be feeling pretty lonely. Pretty much all the old guard that counted are gone.

  14. So is dragging the body around in the streets their version of Weekend at Bernie’s. Just asking.
    mike

  15. Doesn’t hurt my feelings at all that another dictator is dead. His time should of came a long time ago. Thumbed his beak at the Western Democratic Countries, supplied money to terrorists and generally made an a$$ out of himself and his leadership at every Diplomatic meeting.

  17. I will miss his long rambling disconnected speeches at the UN. They were better then any comedy routine.
    I do agree with most of the comments made here that Libya is likely just trading one dictator for another and the likelihood that Libya will be in the hands of Islamic extremists within a couple of years is highly likely and that bunch is anything but a comedy act.

  18. Howie @4:39 Assad just may be watching “Three generals, members of the Syrian General Command, disappeared in Damascus this week, one a senior intelligence officer, debkafile’s military and intelligence sources report. The Assad regime has drawn a heavy curtain of secrecy over the affair. However, our sources learn that the body of one of the generals turned up riddled with bullets at the military hospital in Damascus.” http://www.debka.com/article/21393/
    No word as to who is behind the disappearences tho’.

  19. Things might be a bit premature.Thomas Mulcair has not yet commented on whether he has seen the pictures and if they are authentic.

  20. Hillary has been gloating like a toad today. As has the CBC, sort of makes you wonder what side your on, no?
    Guess the US has free access to Libya’s oilfields now, which should hopefully mean cheaper prices at the pumps for us (need to think positive).
    Let’s hope that these “rebels” are as friendly as Kaddafi was to the west and also not kill the countries Christian population like the Egyptians are currently doing.
    I wonder if the UN will allow people in the west to freely keep their arms, since they have been so proactive in arming the Libyans under their previous government imposed bans?

  22. Gaddafi got what was coming to him, as most dictators eventually do.
    And if Libyans vote for a worse leader, well then they’ll get what’s coming to THEM.

  24. “Well that’s the price one dictator will pay when not wanting to do business with the global banking cartel. He could have remained dictator had been willing to go along.”

    Hmmmmm. Care to elaborate?

  25. It all depends on which tribe will be successful in taking over. My bet is nothing will change. Same shit, different dictator.

    I won’t deny that wacky daffy Qaddafi was not a thug, but western powers have tolerated the
    exsistance of dictators as long as they played by their rules for their own interest.
    Gaddafi was planning to introduce a gold dinar – “a single African currency made from gold, a true sharing of the wealth.”
    The idea, according to Gaddafi, was that African and Muslim nations would join together to create this new currency and would use it to purchase oil and other resources in exclusion of the dollar and other currencies. RT calls it “an idea that would shift the economic balance of the world.”

  27. “Paul Martin must be in mourning tonight”
    Exactly right! Great point. I’m sure he’s sobbing.
    While I have always hated the Liberals, when Paul Martin went to kiss Qaddafi’s feet I vowed that I would never ever vote for a Liberal in my life. Paul Martin’s love affair with Qadaffi was nothing short of disgusting and was humiliating for Canada. Like every Liberal that came before him, Martin was highly overrated and morally bankrupt.

  28. Jeeez. If this keeps up,who is going to be left for the Zero,Martin and other lefties to brown-nose and bow down too???
    I just hope the new guy isn’t as bad,but I won’t hold my breath.

  30. His last words were reported as being “Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get me – ack.” Say g’night Mo.

  32. Great. Another a$$hole gone. The world is a slightly better place.
    But could someone please take out Amadinerjacket. Quite apart from this midget being a threat, he is bloody annoying…

  33. He stayed in Sirte? Where he could be easily trapped without any hope of escape? Deluded to the end.

  34. We haven’t done too well against kids in VN, against kids in Somalia, against kids in Lebanon, against kids in Iraq, or against kids in Afghanistan, but goddammit we can kick some serious ass killing unarmed old men. Oooo Rah!

  36. Too late …. damage done … taken down by a mob …. justice delayed is justice denied.
    Outside of that mob …. Anyone who takes credit for this is full of crap.
    Anyone who gives credit to people that are full of crap is just plain stupid.

  37. Well that nagates any former UN war crimes trial of this despot. I’ll bet there are sighs of relief from the real perpetrators of Lockerbie.

  38. The problem with bringing Gaddafi down is that it changes nothing. In fact, from the look of things, he’s probably going to end up being replaced by somebody even more brutal than he was.
    It’s the whole ‘Arab Spring’ syndrome. Too many assume that a popular revolt against a tyrannical leader means whatever replaces him will of necessity be better.

  39. Shawn >
    I don’t normally agree with you, except …
    Gaddaffi was a dime a dozen petty dictator compared to many other US and European “friends” out there. In fact Libya had the highest standard of living in Africa……

    It’s easy to be disillusioned as to who are the good guys when it’s your countries boot on someone else’s throat, especially with everything to gain in conquest booty. You only need to see who is gloating the most in the media and in political circles to realize that something is amiss.

  40. Justthinkin at 7:54 PM: “I just hope the new guy isn’t as bad,but I won’t hold my breath.”
    ===================
    Let’s not forget, Ghadafi, like all the Middle Eastern goons that came to power in the 50s, 60s and 70s, seized power through violent coups involving a small handful of zealous “revolutionaries”, usually with military connections (often a military colonel themselves, or some such position).
    These recent coups have been the result of a popular uprising of masses of ordinary people. It’s not one goon overthrowing another. These are completely different – for the most part. They tend to be disorganized and leaderless, which is what I worry about. By their very nature, disorganized and leaderless mass movements are very easy to hijack – usually by the folks who control the tanks and the guns. But it’s by no means certain that another goon will just replace the one they just dragged through the streets.

  41. It’s true, of course, what everyone’s saying. Someone at least – at the very least – as bad is almost certain to take over now. (Plus, Gadaffi’s particular style of crazy was kind of entertaining. I mean, less so if he was liquidating you, obviously.)
    I never have figured out exactly why Obama did this. Maybe what Shawn said; or the French oil thing?
    (I also can’t work out why Gadaffi never promoted himself. 42 years of unchecked power and egomania? He could have died Intergalactic and Trans-dimensional Mega-Emperor.)

  43. I doubt he was killed. Given the history of his rhetoric I believe he went out honorably committing suicide by shooting himself thirty times in the back with a machine gun, pausing only once to reload.

    -In 1951 Libya was perhaps one of the poorest countries in the world…before the Nato invasion Libyan’s enjoyed the highest standard of living in Africa.
    -Homes are/were considered a human right…newly married couple receive $50.000 to by thier own home…electricity was free to all people.
    -Qaddafi vowed to house every libyan before his own parents…he kept his promise and his own father died before he was able to be housed.
    -Before Qaddafi,less than 1/5 of libyans were literate…noe education is free & the literacy rate is 83%.
    -Healthcare is also free and of high quality and if Libyans cannot find the education or healthcare they need in Libya then the Libyan government funds them to go abroad to access it.
    -All loans are interest free 0% by law.
    -The Libyan central bank is state owned and unlike western banks issues debt free money.
    -Qaddafi was also working to change payment for Libya’s oil away from US dollars to the gold African dinar..This move prompted Sarkozy to call Libya ‘a threat to the finacial security of Mankind’
    -One of the first acts of the Libyan ‘rebels’ was to create a new central bank.
    Libya was DEBT FREE!!
    Oh well, the Bankster gangsters won again.
    ‘The hate us for our freedoms’

  46. Shawn – You left out a bullet point: Qaddafi had the blood of thousands of his countrymen, and of innocent foreigners on his hands.

  47. Unfortunately Obama sat on his hands and let Libya descend into chaos. Bush eliminated AIQ (Al Qaeda in Iraq), and guided the creation of a consensual government in Iraq that threatens neither Iraqis nor other peoples before drawing down surge forces. Who knows what will emerge as the leadership in a Libya left to its own devices.

    You sound like that guy who missed Benito Mussulini because he had made the trains run on time…..

    A lot of it is just as red and innocent as the blood on some of our own western governments hands.
    By the way small c con, Al Qeada was never in Iraq to begin with.
