“International and American laws”
OK for the American part, but I don’t agree that there are any such thing as international laws. Under whose jurisdiction do they fall? In what court are they prosecuted? There are treaties, but that is not international law

Michael Savage is talking about now.... Absolute power corrupts absolutely, our media is like Pravda, cheering whatever Obama does.
Obama is killing one dictator at a time so he can be the last dictator standing.

Not just our media...
“Well first of all, today’s not a day to be pointing fingers. I’m glad it’s all working out. Ultimately it’s about the freedom and liberty of the Libyan people. But let’s give credit where credit’s due, it’s the French and the British that led on this fight and probably even led on the strike that led to his capture or to his death,” Rubio said Thursday on Fox News.
Rubio said President Obama “did the right thing” by bringing the U.S. into the multinational intervention effort in Libya but “he just took too long to do it.”

The new Libyan rebel government is already talking about ushering in Islamic Sharia law. This seems very similar to Egypt. The US and Israel will be less secure as Sharia spreads.

President Barack Obama hailed Muammar Gaddafi's death on Thursday as a warning to authoritarian leaders across the Middle East that iron-fisted rule "inevitably comes to an end," By his own mouth, PharaObama seals his fate.

The world has gone mad. People actually enjoy seeing a mob kill someone? I’ve seen animals killed with more respect.
To: NormsRevenge
Will Obama heed his own warning?

The Narcissist in Chief just cannot resist taking credit for ANYTHING he thinks is a positive.
The man does not have a humble bone in his body, and if anyone should it is he. What a complete, self-centered pos.

I think the murder of Qaddafi is a very bad thing, depraved. Disgusting. Reminds me of the murder of the czar and his family. Yeah, the guy was a bad guy. But you try him. He could have made it easier on himself. Still, the fact of the matter is this is about power and control, pure and simple. These rebels have no love for their “people,” just as Qaddafi didn’t. It is all about the wealth and status.
The devil stalks this pathetic planet.

Would the Animal Rights people be opposed to the way Gaddafi was murdered?

The killing of Qaddify and Osama suggests one thing to me: They were killed to keep them quiet, they should have been a treasure trove of information, some of it about the CIA, I’m sure, and it is that information that really got them killed..
And BOTH were captured ALIVE and then killed....welcome to the new government MOBSTERS

Gaddafi death is warning to iron-fist rulers But not one any of them will likely heed. Most of them came from nothing. Faced with the choice between living a life of poverty and a life of luxury where they'll totally have their way with the men (and women) of their country for 42 years, which way are they going to tip? Obama gets it wrong again.

"For the region, today's events prove once more that the rule of an iron fist inevitably comes to an end," Obama said.
Watch out, Rommel! Watch out Patton! There's a new military leader in north Africa!

So now we support a savage rag-tag militant force, one which executes its prisoners in the streets with cameras rolling? We pat them and ourselves on the back and say, "now we'll have peace"... Just a few years ago I seem to remember cries of injustice from the left of such things, now I hear cheers.
I'm personally glad he's gone, but I would have preferred a modicum of restraint to keep him alive to maybe answer a few questions, then be tried, THEN summarily executed. Savagery is not Democracy, and Democracy should not welcome Savagery as an acceptable division of its representation.

Gaddafi should've been given a trial, like Saddam Hussein. Instead he was murdered while trying to surrender.
I'm not surprised Obama would crow about this outcome.
Does the Nobel committee want its Peace Prize back yet?
