"He's been taken away by ambulance."
they missed the next line..
"to be shot some more" 😉
Can't say I'm upset about it.
Quite funny that they've sent him to hospital; presumably so that he can be in good health when they hang him.
At last some good news this week.
Who's next then?
Don't the politicians need an axis of evil to keep us in our places?
Who's next then?

?
And he'll burn the World down with him.
reports saying hes died/ not catured/ ,shot in the legs?
Im sure hell be found dead, then buried at see before any one sees the body?
but thats the price you pay for being in charge of the worlds 9th biggest oil producer.
And he'll burn the World down with him.
Don't see how the 14th most important man in Iran who incidently has no control over what nuclear assets the Iranians have is going to burn the world down with him.
I'm not taking into account what the potential involvement the Israelis may have in this end of the world scenario however.
Sounds like hes dead. I wouldn't mind some of his hats. He appeared to have a quite mad collection.

If he is dead - he has had some life hasnt he?
Not saying what he has done is right at all but he's made the most of his time on this planet thats for sure.
Snappy dresser too.

Yes sure thats why the Libyan people rose up and threw him out. For the oil.
That's one more dangerously deluded ex world leader gone this week... Only Thatcher and Blair to go.
What are the odds on Berlusconi being kicked out soon?
Yes sure thats why the Libyan people rose up and threw him out. For the oil.
Sounds like it was 'the West' that did for him, though. NATO airstrike, apparently...
I was more hoping for Assad to be removed next but hey Western leaders we dont particularly like have got to be much worse right?
mcboo

Errmmm - only they didn't. a small faction armed and encouraged by the west and with massive close air support and intelligence from the west has taken more than 6 months to get close to controlling most of the country.
Its a civil war not an uprising. if it was a popular uprising it wouldn't have taken 6 days.
The country will be wrecked and divided and will require massive support from the west for decades.
Did I just hear the BBC newsreader ask "so what happens now for Gaddafi, if he has been killed?" 😯
TJ in massive failure to recognise irony, irony... 🙄

Fixed that for you.
Useful Idiot
Mr Woppit i dont dispute that for 1 minute.
But do you really believe thats why the rebels received so much western help because of Gaddafi,s atrocities.

Define small faction. If you cant I'm going to assume you made that up.

What? Doesnt mean anything. Zero knowledge of war, civil or otherwise.

Dry not to wish too hard. These are people's lives we're talking about. Brown people should be allowed to be free too.

Its not what I wish for McBoo - its what is happening on the ground. There is no unified leadership, Gadaffi had and still has significant regional support and the rest of the opposition to him is divided. A popular uprising does not requirte moer than 6 momths to happen.
Free - you really think they will be freer after this?. it will be civil war and / or a divided country. the assets will be stripped so there will be poverty, life expectancy will fall and there will be many many preventable deaths and a fundamentalist islamic state is fairly likely to arise in some parts of the country

What? Which manual of revolutionary war did you get that from? Better tell Che Guevara, Chairman Mao and George Washington they didnt have popular support. Which is why the Cuban, Chinese and American Revolutions fell apart soon after an apparent victory. Ermmmmm.....

More disgraceful wishful thinking from a gutless member of the British Left. Because if things turned out well how would that fit with your world view of brown people only having legitemate claims when they are fighting the white man. Thinly disguised racism.

Excellent. As everyone knows, all properly developed and mature nations will have had a civil war at some point in their history.
McBoo- once again you attack the person as you are unable to attack the message. I have no idea how you get racist from my post. Resort to baseless insults and it shows the poverty of your argument
If you have popular support for a revolution it does not take long to occur. This is a what has happened many many times. think of all the events in Europe at the end of the 80s, think of the rest of the arab spring. with masive air support it has taken more than 6 months to get most of the country under control of the rebels. Its obvious the poular support does not extend over the whole country
If there was no support for gadaffi he would have been captured in days and the country freed from him.
I don't know what the "British left" is supposed to mean - I am not of the left.
Its what is happening on the ground - the leader of one faction has been kiled by another for example.
its nothing to do with race - its everything to do with understanding what is actually happening and knowing the lessons from history. Unlike you I do not swallow propaganda wholesale.
you will see - I will be right
Reuters / BBC twitter feed have posted that he has died from his wounds.
BBC webpage is down.
don't know about that, but judging by the picture above Gaddifi's a dead Sirte.....
(coat on)
/fires assault rifle in the air
mncBoo - your world view of brown people only having legitemate claims when they are fighting the white man.
where on earth do you get this from? 🙄

Al Jazeera reckon he's dead
Racist pure and simple.
mcboo - you really aren't making any sense
Are we happy then? It's obviously what NATO wanted from the start.
Personally, I'm still uncomfortable with the principle of UK intervention to effect regime change. Still, it's done now. Hopefully Libya will be a safer place.
simple.
Explains yourself quite well, don't you think?
