Sic Semper Tyrannis

President Obama went on Safari, killing a defanged, declawed, compliant old lion, already hobbled into docility.  All that's missing is a picture of the "brave" hunter standing astride his prey, brandishing the blunderbuss, oversize pith helmet propped  up only by his cartoonishly large ears...

Khadaffi was once a dangerous beast, killing American GIs in Germany and bringing down an airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, among many other bloody predations. His eccentric behavior and outlandishly gaudy costumes brought to mind perhaps a darkly dangerous Michael Jackson of North Africa.  And the busty female bodyguards...

What happened to them?  Given the track record of Islamic fanatics, they're lucky they're not pretty young men...

Khadaffi...  

President Reagan defanged him. President Bush got him to cooperate with us on the war on terror. Peace Prize Nobel Laureate Barack Obama killed him, despite Khadaffi calling him friend.  This sends a clear message to dictators everywhere: Do not cooperate with the United States. Dig in. Murder, maim, threaten and brandish chemical and nuclear weapons. Anything but crack the door open. Especially after Obama turned on US amigo Hosni Mubarack.

Does anyone think Basher Assad will go out any other way than Tony Montana at the end of the movie Scarface? Does anyone think that there are any horrors he will not author to avoid Khadaffi's fate?

Obama Should Run on His Foreign Policy Record

We Americans love us a mess a Ferner Killin'! And the progressive life-haters especially cherish the opportunity to publicly wallow in a death when it is cloaked in the odor of humanitarian sanctity.

Obama has set a record for killing more people than any other Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

That's some change! And it's quite a feat. Terrorist pederast Yassir Arafat was the previous record holder.

The world is now a safer place.  Unless you are a dark-skinned Chadian trying to get the hell out of Libya...

Laz hit 'em, hard?

Good metaphor...the only quibble I would have is that Hussein didn't even do it. Hussein sent some rabid dogs to kill the lion. Rabid dogs that would just as soon kill any westerner who pissed them off.

Nicely done. It could use some expansion and more details for those who get their facts from the media and really don’t know what was going on in Libya. But still very well put.

[Impy]

? We didn’t kill him, rebels did.

As stuffed animals, "teddy bears" were first made by Morris Michtom, who was inspired by a 1902 cartoon by Clifford Berryman in The Washington Post depicting President Teddy Roosevelt refusing, because it would have been un-sportsmanlike, to shoot a tired old bear that had been trapped and tied up for him. It was based on an actual hunting trip incident.

The crime for which Khadaffi was killed was not terrorism and had nothing to do with his role as a tin horned despot. Khadaffi’s capital crime was his imminent plan to introduce a gold-backed dinar as the medium of exchange for North African oil. That was a crime that the West would not excuse; now Khaddafi is dead and Libya has begun its descent into the modern Stone Age of Muslim theocracy.

I’m concerned that some of these “rabid dogs” may be westerners all too willing to kill at home.

[noprogs]

BINGO!

I’d bet not a single mid-east tyrant will be demanding payment in gold for their oil!

The world put up with all sorts of shiite from him for years until he floated THAT idea. Then it was over for him.

[GAB-1955]

What lion? Gaddhafi was an opportunistic jackal, and I'm glad he's dead.
