Just for that, I have to give you bad karma points. In Alberta we know friends don't let friends listen to Celine.

I just...just...just couldn't let you get away with that heinous act of redness!

. .There is no distinction between how he killed and tortured and how he was tortured and killed.

.

He went down very quickly I'd say seeing that his eyes were still open in his face of death Breezy.

The Libyans rejoicing over Qaddafi's dead body doesn't do them any good for PR because as evil as he was having a trial would have showed the World they're capable of moving into a civilized Democracy instead of dancing around his remains like a bunch of savages, at least Saddam had a trial..

If many members of your extended family, friends and so on were executed by his regime. If you lived in fear for your whole life - I guess you would just sit down and read the fukin news.

They are NOT savages - Judging them as such is infantile to say the least. And i am trying to say the least about such a post.

but...but.. my last feeling just got broked :cry:


To Breezy & Co.

I don't celebrate a man's death. I didn't when it was OBL, I don't now. In this case I will celebrate the fact that hostilies should end and Libya should be able to move on and (hopefully) install a democratic regime that governs according to the will of the people. I also will shed no tears for the late Col Ghadaffi/Gaddaffi/Qadafi/Khadafi/however-you-want-to-try-and-translate-his-name-into-English-fi, as he has been linked to too many acts that can only be called terrorist, and caused too many deaths over the years. I don't think anything would have been gained by a trial in the Hague or Tripoli: it would have just been a media circus with a foregone conclusion as the outcome.

Did you have the same opinion when Saddam's regime fell and he paid the ultimate price?

Now Obama and NATO can focus their sights on Syria, wait there's no Oil never mind..

If you follow the thread you would know exactly what I thought the Coalition of the willing should have done.

Now feel free to answer the points I mentioned at any time.

My honest answer is I wouldn't know how I felt because I've never been in that position..

Let's be honest, the only reason NATO wanted to get rid of Gaddafi is he didn't accept their friends request on Facebook..

I like how Ocean Breeze is criticizing us because a bunch of crazy savages (who might be muslim) are doing what savages do. When they dragged soldiers through the streets in Mogadishu I bet then some were preaching that it was some kind of justice. This is an example of the knuckle dragging savagery of the part of the human race (who might be muslim) act. In this case it just happens to be a savage being kicked around by fellow savages (who might be muslim).

Oh the humanity! I move we ignore this and arrest George Bush immediately because he didn't let the other savages (who might be muslim) that they captured get enough rest.

Disclaimer: Not all savages reflect all Muslims, but these savages (who might be muslim) definitely do.

He should have been shot for his poor fashion sense alone. God what a terrible dresser.
Gaddafi was a monster and the response to his reign of terror is appropriate considering
the evil he did. If you look at Saddam he too met the same fate. Let us look at nations
not associated with savages in times gone by.
Mussolini In Italy at wars end, he was hung on a meat hook and kicked to death in the
street.
Chauchesku in Romania, was beaten and killed after he was captured when that country
fell some years ago. My father related to me, the things that were done to collaborators
in Holland. Women with their heads shaved, shop destroyed and shop keeper and the
locals that assisted the Germans were beaten and disgraced in the streets.

People who have been suppressed, and imprisoned for merely objecting to being suppressed
and imprisoned, will react with violence when the situation changes and that is not being
savage it is resting power from a despot with revenge and understandable in the case and
point

Mubarak (deposed), OBL, al-Awlaki, Ghadaffi croaked - enemies of America are dropping like ducks on the pond. Strange how the right wing isn't giving President Obama much credit for that. Why do you suppose this is so?

Just how many wars was that?

NATO has a warped idea on what 'humanitarian aid' looks like.
NATO & Al-Qaeda War Crimes In Libya : Federal Jack

Libya has (had) the highest living standard of any African Nation, look at the 'improvements' NATO made compared to the the changes since 1970. Which of the below reason made him such a villain in your own personal opinion?

The living standards of Libyans have improved significantly since the 1970s, ranking the country among the highest in Africa. Urbanization, developmental projects, and high oil revenues have enabled the Libyan government to elevate its people's living standards. The social and economic status of women and children has particularly improved. Various subsidized or free services (health, education, housing, and basic foodstuffs) have ensured basic necessities. The low percentage of people without access to safe water (3 percent), health services (0 percent) and sanitation (2 percent), and a relatively high life expectancy (70.2 years) in 1998 indicate the improved living standards. Adequate health care and subsidized foodstuffs have sharply reduced infant mortality, from 105 per 1,000 live births in 1970 to 20 per 1,000 live births in 1998. The government also subsidizes education, which is compulsory and free between the ages of 6 and 15. The expansion of educational facilities has elevated the literacy rate (78.1 in 1998). There are universities in Tripoli, Benghazi, Marsa el-Brega, Misurata, Sebha, and Tobruq. Despite its successes, the educational system has failed to train adequate numbers of professionals, resulting in Libya's dependency on foreign teachers, doctors, and scientists.

Probably because he doesn't deserve the credit. I'm sure there are lots of Obama supporters that think he does just like there were lots of Reagan supporters that think the credit for the collapse of the Soviet Union should be his.

Now that Libyans have overthrown and killed their dictator (with extensive help from NATO), they are no longer united by fear. I hope they can get their act together.

BTW, this civil war should be a model for all future NATO interventions. Compared to the cost of the Iraq war fiasco, getting rid of Ghadaffi was a real bargain. (financial/political)

1) The intervention must have popular support of the people.
2) No official deployment of soldiers on the ground. (supporting covert operations only)
3) Overwhelming firepower from the air directed by the rebels on the ground
4) Early official recognition of the rebels as the legitimate government.
