Just wondering, if George Bush was at the helm, how would the news organizations report the horrible way Qaddafi was killed? Would they call it a success for President Bush? And waterboarding is torture? This same scenario played itself out, decades ago in Iran. Jimmy Carter stood idly by while the islamicists wrested control of Iran, who had been a strategic friend for many years. We now see Egypt controlled by the Islamic fundamentalists that want us all dead, whereas Egypt, and Hosni Mubarek were friendly and stable governments in the middle east. Now Libya was not out friend, but Quaddaffi didn't want to cross us, and was actually useful to our CIA at times in our war against al Queda. It is shocking to see the current administration so welcoming to the revolutions that are taking across the middle east, as not one of them bodes well for our interests in the long term. It is sheer insanity to do the same thing all over again, that we tried with Iran, and to expect a different result. I can hardly wait to see how this experiment in democracy turns out in the next 30 - 40 years. The naivete of our supposed "intellectual" president is breathtaking. Yes, these are Obama's people, the liberators that our hypocritical media - the democrats' PR firm - hailed as heroes and liberators, freedom fighters.

Sick attack on Gaddafi casts shadow over Libya’s rebirth .......................................................................................... October 25, 2011, Tuesday theborneopost.com SICKENING new footage of Muammar Gaddafi’s last moments show he was almost certainly executed by his rebel captors, one of whom appears to have humiliated him by sodomising him with a knife or stick, said PerthNow News. The horrific images of mob cruelty, shot in the minutes leading up to Gaddafi’s death, have been posted on the news site Global Post. The shaky footage, shot on a rebel’s handheld mobile phone after Gaddafi was seized late last week hiding in a drainpipe outside of Sirte, has been broken down to a series of stills, which show Gaddafi in agony after a man stabs him in the rear. The full video of Gaddafi’s capture makes for shocking viewing as seemingly hysterical fighters chant “Allah Akbar!” (God is Great) and drag the former Libyan leader towards a vehicle. At the start of the three minute and 55 second clip, Gaddafi is already bleeding from his head as his captors lead him away. A man then approaches Gaddafi from behind and stabs him. There is what seems to be a series of heavy blows and Gaddafi falls to the ground. A man then dangles an automatic weapon over Gaddafi’s head and appears to fires several rounds. But Gaddafi is still alive and in deep distress as the mob drags him again, in what may become a damaging PR moment for the otherwise celebrated rebel forces. Gadaffi, now a confused and pitiful figure, bleeds more freely from his head wound and becomes increasingly limp. But another clip shows he is clearly still alive as he is thrown in the back of a truck. GlobalPost said the footage was provided to them by revolutionaries from the coastal city of Misrata, who found Gaddafi an hour or so after the airstrike. Sometime after that, Gadaffi’s degradation is complete. He is lifeless and stripped of his clothes. It appears he has wounds to both his head and chest. Interim Libyan leader, Mustafa Jalil, said Gaddafi’s death would be investigated. “In response to international calls, we have started to put in place a commission tasked with investigating the circumstances of Moammar Gaddafi’s death in the clash with his circle as he was being captured,” Jalil said.
