The slain former leader, with Dominican Republic president Leonel Fernandez.
The military arm of the Lybia National Transitional Council says toppled leader Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds following capture near his hometown of Sirte, Al Jazeera reports.
Images of a severely wounded Gaddafi have surfaced in the northern coastal city of Sirte, but as yet unconfirmed.
Recent heavy fighting in that city had drawn the attention of NATO, which stage airstrikes on suspedted targets, incliuding military vehicles. The reports note that Gaddafi was in one of two vehicles attacked during an airstrike.

It was only a matter of time before Gaddafi was take out, one way or another.
The bigger question, is, what now in Libya? If it becomes a Fundamentalist Islamic Theocracy then it will be a case of "out of the frying-pan and into the fire".

The bad side of this thing is "WHAT" will replace him. How long do you think the puppet governement of Iraq would last without NATO? They can barely prevent muslims with different views from killing eachother. Same applies here.... At least we knew how "coucou cachew" Gaddafi and Hussain were and there were still some controls from afar.. After Hussain's regime fell, and the celabration ended (goat milk ran out), all hell broke loose in Iraq. Same happened in Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Rome after Ceasar, and same is happening in Egypt, Sudan, and soon Lybia.

I have no problem with "Muslims killing each other".

Oh I forgot - Islam is a peaceful religion!

This is what happens when you dont play ball with the usa. Saddam with his non existing weapons of mass destruction, Gaddafi since the Prez Reagan years for Libya's oil and support of the PLO and desire to unite all Arab nations. Weather it be usa muscle in NATO, UN or military sponsorship you will be going down!!
Now they will put in a us approved puppet leader like they did in Afganistan (bush's pick), Iraq, dont forget Musharraf. Who will be put in there now?
Gaddafi wasnt smart enough just to step down when the protests turned into outright civil war. No way hes going to win usa/nato backed rebels. his time was up.
He should have been caught and imprisoned and tried for his crimes...perhaps this will show all leaders they are responsible for what they do....killed in battle or bombings doesnt show he's guilty or innocent.
whats weird is that since 2003 he's been doing the right thing and the usa was lifting sanctions etc.
ANYWAY IRAN IS NEXT!

Regarding to teh NEWs coverage, WHY Al Jazeera can not be trusted??? i would really like to read a REASONABLE answer just because they are not From US and their highly BIASED news??? that is the problem with some people that actually see ONE side of the story and take that as gosspel...if Al Jazeera is moved by Iranian Interests (actually they are from QATAR and they have offices on WASHINGTON DC, so there goes the Iranian thing) it is the FAIR to say that Fox News & Company are founded and aimed to American Interests some of them even worst than Qaddafy itself...THAT is being FAIR.

By the way, you know very well that just like the US supports TYRANTs and murderers, (list begings includdes Trujillo and gets to Saudi King passing by Hussein and Mubarak) on their best interests, the DR has a lot of TO LOSE on bad relations with VENEZUELA and their socialist president...I had a HARD TIME re-fueling my truck when that happened on PRD goverment, so chavez is OUR FRIEND for the benefits we receive, if the venezuelans want to get rid of him they can VOTE HIM OUT of the office, they have had multiple ocasions to do so, ergo it is none of our bussines...

Socialism is the next small step towards total control...maybe some people need to be told what to do only because they don't know them selves. Not me.
Trying to pick the best tyrant is hard....the "less of 2 evils".
Example: as far as oil switch to Brazil by using the magic words FREEDOM OF CHOICE. I bet Hugo would kiss our ass giving the DR the upper hand and gas prices will DROP, Hugo needs us more....you can't eat oil.
What if...even one Dominican life was lost in Lockerbe ?
Hugo-a-go-go intimidates his opposition big time and will never be a friend of mine.
Like it or not....we make it our business when our elected leaders pick sides and openly support international matters that does not concern us in the first place 'there goes staying neutral'.
Choices made by elected officials always seem to blanket coat their citizens.

Yes, I agree Iran is next. I was revolted with the pictures of their supposed elite forces breaking thousands of bottles of Single Malt Scotch. I shed many tears. Iran actually should have been first to get their asses kicked because while our troops were in Iraq and Afghanistan, they did everything to allow our enemy to kill our soldiers. They are the worst kind orf rats in the world. I know, I captured a couple ISS fuqs in the Stan with weapons and cash for the Talibs while patrolling the border for a year.

Had we done this before Pearl Harbor, who would be the bad guys? Afghanistan's Taliban after 9-11 was justified because the fuqs came from there. Iraq was a crock of lies,,,, It still stinks of politicking! As far as meddling.... Every time we do, we make more enemies, compared to just a hand-full of friends that filled their pockets with US/NATO cash.

Where is the justice here? Aren't we supposed to be better than, "them"? I think that the sight of Gaddafi being abused, smacked around, bullied and then shot is wrong. Gaddafi was lynched by a mob. Lybia is now BRIMMING with weapons. Weapons that can and might be used against the west.
The whole thing started out as a mission to protect civilians. Aside from the murder of Gaddafi, the untold number of civilians that have been killed, wounded, maimed, traumatized by NATO bombs. No civilians have been protected!
These people have had their homes looted and their lives uprooted. IS that justice, you cheer murder and savagery, imagine him being your old father. Imagine your father bloodied up and pushed around like that?

As i said before, i was here when the relationship with chavez went to the toilet and we had a really hard time to get GASOLINE, i also read the petro caribe agreement so before i critcize someone it is wise to InVESTGATE...Regardless if i personally like chavez style or not HIS administration has given a lot of benefits to the DR!!! That can be demostrated easily, just READ the petrocaribe agreement...If the clowns on DR power stole the money or don't take full advantage of those agreements is our problem...if the venezuelans dislike chavez they should vote him out! But that is none of our business, By the way, according to last study i saw he had close to 55% approval, so majority of the people he actually rules for don't care all the bad things that american media and fox news propaganda shows.
