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 was a terrorist-supporting thug, although not an overly energetic one, but he was also a strongman who kept his country relatively stable. As bad as he was as a person, he was far better than the anarchy that followed. As with all of Obama’s foreign policy decisions, removing him made the world far more dangerous for all decent people.

Well, ain't that a big boo-bleeping-hoo. He ordered an airliner bombing that killed 270, was a ruthless brutal dictator, but otherwise, a really nice guy who dyed his hair to hide his age, ordered murders and executions like others order lunch, supported racist separatists in Chad while pretending he cared about Africa, and didn't get along with anyone in the Arab League. In his favor, the same kinds of ridiculous junk that A.N.S.W.E.R. used to tout about Saddam Hussein. Had he wanted to remain in power -- and losing everything appears to have been inconceivable to him -- he would have fired on the EU ships and US and EU aircraft until his forces had managed to inflict losses. Instead, he wound up giving them an easy win, and installed a gaping wound right next to Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria (etc). Thanks C19fan.

I don’t think he was talking about Saddam. But not knowing what you are talking about is about par for you course. Your taking the name of God in vain also proves you can’t read.
