I can tell you this, they didn’t kill him because of Lockerbie.

Yeah....'cause from here on in, it's gonna be all rainbows and unicorns in that corner of the world. Just check the Lybian rebel ranks and those waiting to take over in neighboring Egypt. Meet the new boss......WORSE than the old boss.

How can Obama endorse a mafia-style whacking?

I think it is a disgrace, no matter how rotten a bastard Momo was.

I doubt the new bunch will be any better than the old bunch. They’ll probably be worse.

...and what of the epoch that now begins? What words will describe it forty years hence?

American Armed Forces dragged Saddam Hussein from his hidey-hole and showed him mercy...allowing him to face justice in an Iraqi court.

Libyan gangsters dragged Daffy from his hidey-hole and summarily executed him.

This is a prime example of why the USA is superior to every other country on planet Earth, especially those populated with SandMonkeys who live by the dictates of a 7th Century death cult.

I wonder if they’ll go out of their way to give Momo a proper Muslim burial?
