Never-before-seen video has emerged of the moment a battered and bleeding Colonel Gaddafi was captured by Libyan rebels. The shocking footage was captured on the mobile phone of one of the fighters who dragged the dictator alive from a drain in Sirte in 2011. Similar footage was widely circulated at the time of his death, but this video captures his final moments from a new perspective and clearly shows him pleading for his life. It shows frenzied scenes as Gaddafi is surrounded by screaming gunmen on the bonnet of a truck minutes before he was summarily executed.

Gaddafi held Libya and kept it free of ISIS types. He fed his people, gave them healthcare, and after Reagan smacked him, kept his nose clean. He was a benevolent tyrant for that region who kept relative peace and stability.

So Hillary murdered him. “We came, we saw, he died, [cackle cackle cackle har har har!]”

And now look at the place - hell on Earth.

If Hillary becomes president she’ll do that to the whole world, starting with America. You’ll dream of the good old days under Obama, as they drag you down the street.

Libya might be the most catastrophic off all Obumagabe/Hildebeast foreign policy disasters.

Gadaffi had actually been recruited as an ally of sorts in the war on terror.

After Hildebeast’s war, it is now a breeding ground for ISIS and a springboard for international terror.

Interesting comment as he died at the hands of an angry mob of Islamist’s. I wonder how you would do in the same circumstances?

Also, this was the trigger for the Muslim invasion of Europe.

For years we listened to the Left bitch about Bush and Iraq and Afghanistan.

Then comes Onambla and the Arab Spring removing secular leaders and replacing them with Islamists.

The region was destabilized.

Benghazi was an arms depot and was suppressed for re-election.

The Iranian people rose and were ignored by Onambla and Hillary (whose bedmate is Huma the MB agent).

"We came, we saw, he died," she cackled.

She must be defeated.

It matters not by whom.

She is the next leg on the journey to Hell.

What you said there is an example being realistic. Being realistic is how you win everything from chess games to major wars.

Gadaffi was “par for the course” in the Arab world.

Seems like a nice group of people around him. They would be excellent candidates as refugees in Germany, Sweden or the USA.

Anyone see any behavioral similarities to Baltimore or Ferguson?

The video looks like it was made by the producers of the Bourne movies.

It’s OK, to you, to chop the legs off of the Libyan Olympic soccer team because they did not win.

I don’t give a Goddamn what it’s like there right now.

Saddam was pure evil and you cannot dispute it.

Gadaffi was "par for the course" in the Arab world.

I'll say even a bit more than that. He was a contained dictator, in that he had no real aspirations to conquer his neighbors, "punish" the West, etc. As you noted, he was the best you could get in that part of the world.

If you're going to knock off a Tsar, you had better be damn sure that the next ruler is not going to be a Lenin.
