Thread: Colonel Gaddafi Captured

execution is no victory for democracy. If, as reported, he surrendered, then this is a war crime.

plenty of war crimes have been committed in this conflict, don't expect any prosecutions though as we are complicit in those crimes

War crimes my ass - bye bye you m-f-scum and sons

Matthew Perry Sitcom 'Second Chance' Predicted Gaddafi Would Die in 2011

Did a cheesy 1987 Matthew Perry sitcom predict that Muammar Gaddafi would be killed in 2011? A Reddit thread pointed out the wild 'Second Chance' coincidence after the Libyan dictator was killed in Sirte.

In the Fox show, which was set in 2011, the main character Charles, played by Kiel Martin, dies in a hovercraft accident, and after meeting St. Peter at the gates of heaven, is judged to be neither good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell. He's sent back to earth to help his teenage self, played by Matthew Perry, to live a more virtuous life.

But right before the scene in the pilot where Martin meets St. Peter, guess who else pays him a visit? None other than Colonel Gaddafi, with his trademark fatigues riddled with bullet holes. "Dead? It is impossible for me to be dead," the fictional Gaddafi says, before St. Peter sentences him to spend eternity in hell. It's a delightfully corny and really weird scene.

The Qaddafi portion starts at approximately 2:20:

P.S. What Gaddafi was missing is a good woman on his side. I was thinking of someone like M. Thatcher.

Under the Sirte?...

Classic New York Post, eh?

I find it ironic all the so called anti war people and peaceniks are creaming in their pants over the execution of Gaddafi, a man who they couldn't match on their best day. The deposing and execution of Gaddafi goes to show you how powerful the media is, and how dumb the masses are. He was a mostly benign leader who enriched his country, and helped the down trodden across the globe, regardless of their religion and race. Now Libya can be run by terrorist and EU rent boys who will steal the countries wealth.

Gaddafi’s ‘Last Will’

Here is the English transcript of Gaddafi’s last will as published by the BBC.

"This is my will. I, Muammar bin Mohammad bin Abdussalam bi Humayd bin Abu Manyar bin Humayd bin Nayil al Fuhsi Gaddafi, do swear that there is no other God but Allah and that Mohammad is God's Prophet, peace be upon him. I pledge that I will die as Muslim.

Should I be killed, I would like to be buried, according to Muslim rituals, in the clothes I was wearing at the time of my death and my body unwashed, in the cemetery of Sirte, next to my family and relatives.

I would like that my family, especially women and children, be treated well after my death. The Libyan people should protect its identity, achievements, history and the honorable image of its ancestors and heroes. The Libyan people should not relinquish the sacrifices of the free and best people.

I call on my supporters to continue the resistance, and fight any foreign aggressor against Libya, today, tomorrow and always.

Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honor.

Even if we do not win immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to protect the nation is an honor and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you otherwise."

that's not a will ,

it's a manifesto .

Manifesto or not - they are fair points. He could have taken the buy-out. He chose not to.

As insane as he was on the best of days, he did spread the oil wealth around Libya in the way of schools, health care, hospitals and infrastucture - Libyans were not poor - though of course enriched himself too. He was a ruthless dictator and a sponsor of internatonal terrorism against civilians and so for that, at least, he got his cumuppance - and good riddance. I just hope Libyans don't abandon their socialist foundation. You can bet the Americans will do their best to see it dismantled though. I still firmly believe the "Arab Spring" has been pushed along by a CIA operation - likely an off-the-shelf variety - for the purposes of ridding the Arab states of any socialist movements (and worldwide).

And that's a bad thing?

Greece
Portugal
Spain
Italy

Wonderful economies they have, eh?

indeed, more courageous that NATO that could only bomb innocent civilians from 10,000 feet above

NATO is a disgrace, the Russians were right at the end

Are you one of those dumb fuck Brit with a hot one for the Colonel, because he was some fooking wog who supported those terrorist Fenian bastards in their fight against the Evil Empire? Name one leader in your country would have the courage to die defending his land in his home town with his sons at his side? Your PM and his terrorist goons in the NTC just slaughtered more people in a few months then Gaddafis entire regime did in forty two years.

It shows exactly how much he knew about Muslim rituals.

Still, if he really wanted to be lobbed into a hole in the desert smelling like a badger's arsehole, he got what he wanted.

He didn't. They wouldn't allow him the grave he wanted.

And isn't that an expression of totalitarianism, when a new regime can't allow someone to even have a grave without fearing it will become a 'shrine' to a competing ideology.

Yes, they need to find him and torture him a bit before shooting him too.

Oh I think he'd seriously want to top himself before they get hold of him.
