How is overthrowing every government that puts in with us “good news”? Can somebody name one government in the Middle East that will trust us ever again? Including Israel?

Yeah, I can already see Obama taking a break from his vacation in order to give himself credit on national TV for Qadaffi’s capture.

Oh, I'm sure the vacation was just a big front to lull Qaddafi into a false sense of security while the laser-like precision of the Obama administration laid a trap for him.

Don’t get all wee-wee’d up. Obama did it all by his little old self, didn’t even break a sweat, making command decisions while playing a round of golf with one hand tied behind his back.. /s/

We’ll see if he owns this after the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran take over.

Libya's Gaddafi detained, end of reign nigh

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been captured and is being held, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has announced.

Earlier a spokesman for the Libyan government said on state television that Gaddafi, the country's leader for 41 years, had asked NATO to convince the rebel forces to halt their attack on Tripoli.

Rebel fighters battling to overthrow Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have entered the capital, Tripoli,......

amid reports that the leader's son has been captured and his guards have surrendered.

Crowds poured onto the streets to celebrate to the arrival of the rebel convoys which appeared to meet little resistance from the Libyan leader's forces.

"The International Criminal Court's prosecutors office" said :

....it has confirmation that the Libyan leader's son Saif al-Islam had been detained.

....The rebels said they had also arrested another son, Mohammed al-Gaddafi.

Al Arabiya television cited the rebel National Transitional Council as saying the presidential guard had surrendered.
