eble 3 Posted October 20, 2011 fair play I guess, he could have ran away but died doing exactly what he said fighting to the end. Lets hope they don't disintergrate along tribal lines and have a longer civil war of sorts, looks like every man and his dog has heavy weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PELHAM 10 Posted October 20, 2011 So he crawled in a drain pipe after the airstrike? Looks like they tried to break out of the area in Sirte. Nato attacked the convoy - Gadaffi was probably injured in that and crawled inside the culvert. He was then shot several times in the culvert by an NTC soldier and was still alive when they dragged him out but died a short time later. Saif Gadaffi is still at large - he is the last one on the list. Probably in Bani Walid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His greatest Sin was that he dies not let the west and thre IWF profiteer enoeug ffrom the weath Lybia had...Instead he reinvested it into Lybia making it the premier country on african soil...obviously he inflicted to much greed with the wealth Lybia once had. He wanted to free africa from the throatthrottteling of the western world...you better don't dare that.He was for sure not the Messias but in no way worse than all the other "Kings, Presidents"and whatever around him. He supported terrorism back in the 80's and he admitted it and in turn renounced it. But there had been a few open bills still unpayed and in Early 2011 the US and UK saw a chance for payback.the former friends di´d nothing in the first and joined the international mob short after because of the fear to be excluded when the plunder is shared. We call this international politics and it works that way since the old greeks, egyptians and the persians.

Someone might want to alter the thread title. I do, however, concede the point made in this thread that more countries may now be less keen to side with Europe/The West for fear of these sort of reprisals and interferences.

mrcash2009 0 Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) I dont think anyone is capable of being blamed for something they never did themselves (ref bombings and UK shooting etc). I think its more about the politics of things over time/linking, plus the UN/NATO hard-on right now to crusade and pick off as many people they used in the past that are not needed now as possible in order to continue "liberating" and spreading "democracy". Don't worry the game of guess who continues with the next demons to line up and focus in the cross hairs for termination and infiltration. If you are taking out people of links to wrong-doing I think many on both sides should drop a smart bomb on themselves to save themselves.You have to love the hypocrites jumping on this in the ivory towers. "Mission Accomplished" .... on to the next (pumps fists like TAPS ghost hunters team).. Oddly the percentage of wrong doing over him and "the other two" out of action isn't balancing much, out of a frying pan into a fire.

(not meant to fuel a discussion' date=' just basic information).[/quote']A good question - we should remember the 1000s of victims not the man. From the UK perspective: Lockerbie bombing UK 1988 Lockerbie is known internationally as the place where, on 21 December 1988, the wreckage of Pan Am Flight 103 crashed after a bomb exploded during the flight. In the United Kingdom the event is often referred to as the Lockerbie disaster, the Lockerbie bombing, or simply Lockerbie. Eleven residents of the town were killed in Sherwood Crescent, where the plane's wings and fuel tanks plummeted in a fiery explosion, destroying several houses and leaving a huge crater, with debris causing damage to a number of other buildings nearby. The 270 victims (259 on the plane and eleven in Lockerbie) were citizens of twenty-one different nations. Murder of PC Yvonne Fletcher - 1984 Yvonne was shot in the back with a machine gun fired from the Libyan Embassy. No one has ever been convicted for the murder of Yvonne Fletcher. However in 1999, the government of Muammar Gaddafi accepted responsibility for her death and agreed to pay compensation to her family. Her fiance is in the picture and was at her side as she lay bleeding to death in the road. Omagh Bombing - 1998 Twenty-nine people died as a result of the attack and approximately 220 people were injured. The bomb was built using semtex supplied by Gadaffi.

Because other people are bad does not get Qaddafi off of the hook. Any implications to the contrary are, at best, based on fallacious logic, and, at worst, the foundations of poisonous rhetoric.

Gadaffi was considered to really try hard to be considered a serious statesman. UK and USA on the other hand are well know to be unforgiving. Eye for an eye till the world is blinded.

sudayev 27 Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong. I've seen this clip on liveleak - Qaddafi’s last moments. Was he still alive during the video shoot, looked like the old man was still moving. They roughed him pretty good afterwards. At least I'm sure now that was him, which I can't say about this whole OBL shady job, they just wrapped him in a carpet and dumped from the boat and said to the world - it was him.
