An autopsy confirmed that Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi died from a gunshot to the head, the country's chief pathologist said Sunday, just hours before Libya's new leaders were to declare liberation and a formal end to an eight-month civil war to topple the longtime ruler's regime.
The declaration starts the clock on a transition to democracy that is fraught with uncertainty and could take up to two years.
However, international concern about the circumstances of Qaddafi's death and indecision over what to do with his remains overshadowed what was to be a joyful day. Qaddafi's body has been on public display in a commercial freezer in a shopping center in the port city of Misrata, which suffered from a bloody siege by regime forces during the spring.

“The declaration starts the clock on a transition to democracy that is fraught with uncertainty...”
What uncertainty?! And what democracy?! The only thing uncertain about it is the exact name of the chief terrorist raghead who will carry on the same kind of terrorism-sponsoring dictatorship that Qaddafi ran with such expertise. It’ll be the same kind of mooslime craphole it has been for 40 years, but under new management! Another glorious victory of Obama Administration State Department excellence!
Death found him.
Nothing more to say about the puke.
paraphrasing, ...we were told this was for humanitarian reasons not regime change. There are large amounts of weapons unaccountable for, there are questions about a new replacement government, it may not be better. This has made Middle East more unstable.
The irony. Qaddaffi even praised OBama before Obama started this unilateral war
I agree that Ghaddafi got no better than he deserved. But the Left—Obie and Hillary! in particular—are always going about international law and trials and human rights and commissions. I agree, if Bush had ones this, we’d be jubilant and Barack’s and Hillary’s heads would be spinning on their spines.
But this shows that the Left just falls back on the methods they excoriate others for. The only difference is that they hold the reins and they pretend to be oh-so much more civilized, sophisticated, and clever all the while. Somehow, it’s supposed to be “different” when they do it. They should be called on it.
I was thinking about that when I heard that Russian officials were claiming Gaddafi's death was illegal. I don't recall them whining about Mussolini's death the same way.

We are going to end up with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda controlling Tunisia, Libya and Egypt in one large Shariah terrorist swath. Iraq will go over to Iran and Lebanon has already fallen. Obama is unifying the Muslim states into one whole and helping them prepare for an attack on Israel. The feigned alarm over what has happened to the Libyan weapons and specifically missiles is a facade. Those weapons will be used against Western states and Israel and the US has facilitated it. The world is a much less safe place because of what Obama has done.
Barack to Mohmar: “Nuffin’ personal, ya unnerstan. Iss jus’ bizniss. Jus’ bizniss, ya know? Nuffin’ personal.”
Oh, no the geneva convention and the UN mandate, not those, say it isn’t so! The USA must always obey the UN and follow the geneva convention. **snicker**
Soros has his hands manipulating in most of this.
I know this guys was a murderer, thug, rapist and so forth, but it's different killing while being shot at or in the heat of battle.
Something just seems evil about shooting the guy after he’z given up, wounded and pleading for his life, then floppin his body all over the place.
I'm not sure God would be happy bout all that.
Ditto what you said. Bunch of whimpering nancy boys crying about UN mandates and international law. The animal Kadaffy got exactly what he deserved. He died a coward.
but but..
due process denied
due to ‘fog of war’?
oh well..
let the UN decide. ;-)
saved a Tomahawk, at least.
According to what law?
Libya is not part of this country.
I will never forget how the left, Obama included, treated President Bush and they shouldn't expect to be treated any more kindly.
