Well, Muammar Gaddafi is finally dead and out of power and thus, America's mission of ushering in a new regime of Muslim Brotherhood annointed islamists into an islamic regime in Libya will now take place. All according to the apparent plan of one Barack Hussein Obama who has supported the same type of takeover in Tunisia, in Egypt and in Yemen. I might want to point out once again that the annointed islamic regime in Iran is still safe according to Obama's plan.
The Gaddafi killing is all over the media - I picked one article out below to give you some of the details - it's from Fox.
Now, considering the fact that Gaddafi approved and backed the terrorist attack that occurred over Lockerbie, Scotland...I'm thrilled to see this piece of shit dead and gone. What I object to is the idea that what replaces him is better. It is not. In fact, it will be worse. Mark my words. It will be worse for the West and yes, it will be worse for the Libyan people.
Libyan Dictator Moammar Gadhafi dead
SIRTE, Libya (NEWSCORE) - Deposed despot Moamar Ghadafi was killed Thursday by a shot to the head after being caught in a crossfire between his supporters and rebel fighters, Libya's interim prime minister said.
Ghadafi, who ruled Libya with an iron hand for 42 years as he evolved from young revolutionary to homicidal dictator, died during a final assault on his hometown of Sirte.
Initially there were varying reports of the exact circumstances of his death but Mahmoud Jibril told a press conference in Tripoli that Ghadafi was caught in a sewage pipe on the city's outskirts, AFP said.
"When he was found, he was in good health, carrying a gun," Jibril said. The BBC quoted a rebel fighter as saying Ghadafi was armed with a golden gun.
Jibril said Ghadafi was transferred to a pickup truck, at which point he was shot in the right hand.
"When the vehicle started moving, it was caught in crossfire between Ghadafi fighters and the revolutionaries, and he was shot in the head," according to Jibril.
"He was alive up to last moment, until he arrived at hospital" in the town of Misrata, he said, according to AFP.
Photos purportedly showing Ghadafi's blood-soaked body quickly circulated on the internet, along with video that seemed to show him captured and alive but bloody.
French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet said in Paris that French warplanes had "stopped" a convoy of vehicles trying to flee Sirte and that Libyan fighters then intervened and "took out Col. Ghadafi," AFP reported.
NTC media spokesman Abdullah Berrassali earlier told Sky News, "Ghadafi is dead. He is absolutely dead ... he was shot in both legs and in the head."
The fate of two Ghadafi sons also was unclear. There were several reports that one, Mutassim, had also died in Sirte, while his older brother, Saif al Islam, was variously said to have escaped, be wounded and hospitalized or killed in a firefight on the outskirts of the town.
Around the world, leaders welcomed news of the dictator's death.
In Washington, President Barack Obama said it marked the end of a "long and painful chapter" for the Libyan people and that the US and its allies "stopped Ghadafi's forces in their tracks."
British Prime Minister David Cameron said it was "a day to remember all of Colonel Ghadafi's victims," including those who died in the bombing of a PanAm jet over Lockerbie, Scotland in an act of Libyan terrorism.
And French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the "disappearance" of Ghadafi was a "major step forward" in his people's battle to "liberate themselves from the dictatorial and violent regime imposed on them."
French and British forces spearheaded NATO's air campaign against Ghadafi's troops.
The White House later released a statement saying Obama held a videoconference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Sarkozy and Cameron to discuss developments in Libya and the European financial crisis
AFP reported news of Ghadafi's death prompted wild joy among the ranks of rebel fighters who waved flags, flashed V-for-victory signs and fell to their knees and kissed the ground.
His killing also meant the transitional government could avoid a long trial and proceed with plans to set up a new administration without threat of a Ghadafi-led insurgency.
Ghadafi, one of the three longest-serving rulers in the world and the only leader most of his countrymen ever knew, died close to where he was born in the desert in a Bedouin tent 69 years ago.
Once described by former US President Ronald Reagan as "the mad dog of the Middle East," he remained belligerent and unpredictable until the very end, despite rebel forces seizing his stronghold of Tripoli and the NATO-led coalition bombing what was left of his forces.
He regularly appeared - or at least his voice did - in defiant taped audio messages on Syrian-based Arrai television, condemning NATO and the rebels as "rats, mercenaries, a pack of dogs" while vowing to fight on and predicting he and his supporters would triumph in the end.
During his more than four decades in power, Ghadafi sponsored revolutionary efforts in other countries, reportedly provided money to the Palestinian terrorist group responsible for the killings of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics and tried to prop up Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.
But perhaps the best known Libyan act of terrorism was the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, killing 270 people.
In late February, former Libyan justice minister Mustapha Abdel Jalil, now the head of the interim government, told the Swedish newspaper Expressen that Ghadafi had personally issued orders to carry out the attack.

Good job President Obama. Thanks for finishing off the job that Reagan started in '86.
