Looks like these two goons just got a little Justice—sort of like what we did to the Nazis after WW II or what we did to UBL a while back.
The rebels need to change their function from ‘death squad’ to ‘death panel’ and they’ll be just fine.
AQ acting like AQ, now who would have thought that possible, why do they keep calling the ragtags, rebels, when they are not even from Libya.
The American Revolution from England was supported by the colonists with 26% in favor of independence.
