Many on the Left are celebrating the capture and death of Muammar Qaddafi. Even the liberal Daily Kos is beside itself.
But how did the Left respond to the capture of a far more dangerous dictator with far more blood on his hands in 2003? Well, it wasn't the same way.
Let's take Kos, circa 2003:

I was wondering when the comparison was going to show up.
No condemnation from the left in the U.S.,U.N., French,British,Russia etc..
Yep. Hypocrisy sees no bounds..

The reason the left abhors military action is because they are natural bullies and once they get a taste for using the military they will attack everybody even their own people.

Remember the way they reacted to the one or two still photos of Saddam’s body after he was hung?

Yet now they can’t get enough video and pictures of Gaddafi dead and dying.

Well the left wing excuse is going to be... "Well Saddam did not kill Americans".The people who killed Gadhafi loved him when he was killing Americans, they stopped supporting Gadhafi AFTER he stopped killing Americans.
