Why are we celebrating the murder of Gadhafi?

I am glad BCM wrote this article, seems everyone I know is celebrating this outright murder, no drone, no jet took this guy out. A moslem with a golden pistol killed him after they striped him, druge him through the streets so people could beat him with shoes and spit on him…

THAT folks is what your democracy looks like…2 wolves and a sheep discussing what’s for dinner….

Gaddafis last words before being captured by El Bibi were, “Dont shoot! Dont shoot!”

Am I the Only One Disgusted with Post Gadhafi Libya?

Mitt Romney said, Its about time Moammar Gadhafi was a tyrant who terrorized the Libyan people and shed American blood, and the world is a better place without him. Marco Rubio weighed in with, justice has been done today. Meanwhile, the reports of exactly how Gadhafi died are, in the words of one network, conflicting.

The one constant in the accounts I have read is that when he was captured he was alive. A few minutes later, he was not. Therein lies my problem.

I will not defend or condone Gadhafis life or actions. They are indefensible. He was a murderer and a tyrant. None of that is in question. What is in question seems to be the issue of what we do with captured tyrants.

If Gadhafi were killed in a shootout like Saddam Husseins sons, I would have no problem. If we locate him in a training camp and obliterate it with a missile, I would have no problem either. Those are legitimate actions in a war zone and are morally and intellectually defensible.

However, when we found Saddam Hussein, a man just as evil as his sons or Gadhafi, hiding in a hole in Tikrit we did things a little differently. Because regardless of the lawless scum we were hunting, it was Americans doing the hunting.

The scenarios are eerily similar. Both men were found in makeshift hidey-holes. Both had members of an entourage or security detail with them. Both were discovered by a group of hundreds of their enemies, all armed to the teeth. Both were found shaken or disoriented. Both were taken alive.

The difference? Hussein was captured by American soldiers. Gadhafi was captured by Muslim insurgents. Hussein got three hots and a cot for a few months, was tried, convicted and executed. Gadhafi was promptly murdered by his captors. This act is now celebrated by GOP politicians as justice and overdue justice, at that.
