Gaddafi Dead in Tripoli? (graphic photo)

Al Jazeera says Gaddafi's forces in his supposed 'stronghold' of Tripoli just fell apart. The 'Gaddafi dead' pic has been circulating on Twitter overnight, looks pretty gruesomely authentic. ________________________________________________________________________

Euphoric Libyan rebels have moved into the centre of the capital, Tripoli, as Muammar Gaddafi's defenders melted away and thousands of jubilant civilians rushed out of their homes to cheer the long convoys of pickup trucks packed with fighters shooting in the air.

The rebels' surprising and speedy leap forward, after six months of largely deadlocked civil war, was packed into just a few dramatic hours. By nightfall on Sunday, they had advanced more than 32km to Tripoli... 

Green Square had been the site of night rallies by Gaddafi supporters throughout the uprising. Our correspondent said the rebels met little resistance as they moved from the western outskirts into the capital. 
"Hundreds are on the street, and most of them are armed. Most of these are fighters who came down from the mountains in western areas of Libya. They entered the capital a few hours ago and with the opposition inside the capital, have managed to liberate the city from the government's control," our correspondent said.

I guess now we get to see -much like with Pelosi's ObamaCare- "what's in" the rebel agenda- something maybe we should have been checking into long before NATO made this day possible.
Naturally, Obama went out on a limb yesterday and said "It's time for Gaddafi to relinquish power"... ha ha, sounds like they told his staff to wake him up on Martha's Vineyard if there's any news imminent he can conceivably take credit for... back to sleep now, Dumbo.

Time to play soccer in the streets of Tripoli.

And they have a head to use as a ball.

It might not be Islamic, it could be a bloody civil war, if we are lucky the people will want true democracy.

I don’t know who the average joe is on the street there, the sad thing is I don’t think the average joe is who we need to worry about dictating which direction their country is going.

True democracy, its culture, its infrastructure, heritage and law is all antithetical to Islam.

This story they want Democracy? Obama acted in the name of Democracy? A huge spin on the truth. The muslim CIC wnated Libya to fall into the MB caliphate . Libya is a window and a rear blocker to consolidate their recent gains in Egypt. It also has wonderful cash flow for the MB to exploit.

Obama is doing cartwheels right now!

Another country falls to the muslim brotherhood.

It makes the cliche "paradigm-shift" new again. The world's back in the 8th-Century struggle between Islam and Christendom. Except Christendom has been replaced by Political Correctness, Multiculturalism and If It Feels Good, Do It-dom. Any bets on who wins this time?

I have met lots of these people in the past ... they don’t seem to have any knowledge how to organize themselves to make sure that their voice is heard.

Only the real radicals have been trained by left leaning organizations in Europe and the US. This leaves the average joe feeling that they have no voice and all they can do is follow on or the other party.

Hmmmmm. Kind of sounds like Democrats and Republicans except we only have radicals in control of one of the parties.

Fortunately, I read the end of the Book and Christ wins, but for us mere mortals it is going to be a realty hard won fight.
