And in a butcher shop (!)
What's up next, string 'em from a bridge...?
While we still do not know who the rebels we just boosted to power actually are (yet plenty of reason to suspect the worst- i.e. packed with AQ and Muslim Brotherhood types), hey, we're about to find out.
Alas, so far-so bad, as they're already committing war crimes, up to and including summary executions... which appears to be just what happened to ole Muammar and out-of-luck son Mutassim. The UN and ICC suspect as much, as both were shown alive on film in captivity, only to die of multiple gunshot wounds soon afterward while while the country's new NTC 'leadership' releases myriad B.S. accounts of what actually happened. Already there are calls for an investigation before Clown Boy swims with the fishes.
Yet while they don't mind shooting prisoners, the rag-tag rebel force is no army- they didn't have to be with NATO warplanes taking it to the regime while they swept-in afterwards and shot anything still moving... which is precisely what happened in the capture and subsequent illegal murder of Muammar Gaddafi.
What is Obama planning to do when they start lining up 'collaborators' against the wall over there? How many Blue helmets is the UN going to be willing to send in with the place swimming in guns?
Instead of bringing desperately needed security in the wake of the regime's collapse -even if they were able- the masses of armed, now experienced and adrenalin-fueled men currently roaming the country sporting ammo belts like Rambo will likely stress along the same tribal/clan/ethnic lines that are about bring chaos to most of Libya. And not only does the rebel 'army' not have the capability to control the country, the only thing unifying these men -hatred of the Gaddafi regime- is gone, so now it's back to 'me, mine, and the tribe'... just watch.

The official story of the rebels is that Daffy was caught in the crossfire with Daffy supporters . Riiiiiiight!
To: Lando Lincoln
I was thinking the same thing... if you told me in the 80s I’d be defending Gaddafi someday I’d have laughed at you
But more than him personally, I only care about US interests, little more- and imho we had Gaddafi tamed nicely
More problems now, and we have to pay for the transition to an Islamic republic, great
To: Reaganite Republican
The radicals over there know that Obama is killing Muslim leaders just to: 1. save his own job 2. He wants the Muslim Brotherhood to be in charge of those countries.
How many have been assassinated under his watch?
What makes Obama think they won't go on a jihad and send someone here to do the same thing?
This scares me. While I don't like anything Obama has done since taking office, I want him sent packing from losing the election or being impeached.
If even a small group of those barbarians decided to pay him and this country back for our interference in there world, no SS is going to be able to stop them.
Obama and Hillary have opened a can of worms and it will be hard to replace that lid.

Obama mission accomplished: Chaos, spread of Islamic terrorism, transfer of Libyan weapons across Egypt to the Gaza strip, expansion of the nascent Greater Caliphate, preparation for the Final attack on Israel.

And your point is?
A harsh dose of reality here folks.
Islam has never ever experienced any of the cultural moderation that Christianity experienced during the Renaissance, Reformation, and Counter-Refrormation movements. It is just as violent a religion and supporting culture as Christianity was in the 11th through 14th centuries.
As such, the death and mutilation of Gaddafi was to be expected. Husain's capture and trial were American and American backed operations. If the average Iraqi had captured him we would have never known about it.
American jurisprudence stops at the water's edge unless there American troops present. Do I like this fact? Not really. But, I have seen the cruelty that abounds in this world and recognize that my feelings will not change things outside the US.

We didnt go on an orgy of killing involving desecration of corpses following WWII, we practiced restraint and remained civilized.
The key word there is "after", right?
Because it was a very different story "during". Especially in the Pacific against the Japanese.
I'm not saying that to be judgmental - war is brutal (and the Pacific war especially so) and people exposed to its brutality, especially over long periods, understandably become detached and numb to it. The Libyan rebels had suffered for generations under Qaddafi's oppressive and violent rule, and some measure of leeway should be granted to them. I'd as much fault them for behaving this way towards his corpse as I would to the US Marines on Guadalcanal who took to displaying severed Japanese heads on tanks.
To: Chode
OK Read it. According to wikipedia, which I regard as unsubstantiated information, the woman is one of his many mistresses.

the undisputed point is, he was shot in captivity without trial, then strung up and put on display...

Uh, yea, *following* WWII.
During WWII? That’s a wholly different story.
During Korea? Again, a wholly different story.
During Vietnam? Different story again.
But following? There we’ve been a model of restraint... as opposed to the actions of (eg) the Russians following the fall of Berlin...

Only Americans are (in the majority) naive enough to think that other nations will follow our example in revolutions.
The abundance of evidence in the world is that the dominate “revolution model” is that of the French.
We’re the exception, not the rule.
