So Gaddafi is dead....
October 20, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I don't think the rebels could have ever done what they needed to do without NATO airstrikes.
Who are the rebels?
Why now?
Why NATO intervention?
Too many unanswered questions and the US media just plays along.
I have a feeling international oil companies are going to show up their with contracts in a few years.
Others thoughts? I don't buy the official story.

Yeah, something sounds a bit off about the whole thing... But, I did see the picture of his corpse. Quite disturbing really... Shouldn't have looked.

He was captured then killed. This is a war crime surely.

Good riddance.
I'm sure whoever emerges to take power will be oh-so-much better!

Yes, the muslim brotherhood and their public intellectuals will come forward, no doubt. Using the mask of Islam like Khomeini, building up insane crowds and sweep to power. Et voila, a North African Iran.
You read it here first.

I watched some of the live coverage from Al Jazeera and they spoke to some libyans including some fighters and it seems most people want a democratic rule although one of them said, democracy with islamic values/law, hopefully it'll turn out more like secular turkey rather than something ruled with strict shari'ah(islamic) laws.

The guy was a fuck, but he was brutally murdered. I can't pretend to be happy about the way that was handled.
