Quillan Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 First reports were that he was injured whilst being captured then the BBC had a special new bulletin saying he was dead but not yet confirmed by an independent source.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15389550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 So now he has gone, finally thank god. What now for Libya and it's people? What price will the UK, France and the US extract from Libya for all those bombs and cruise missiles they dropped and fired? Will we now see UK, French and US 'boots on the ground' at the request of the interim government of course to help restore peace and security and 'help' rebuild the country or will it simply become another puppet of the US? Think about all those lucrative contracts to be had to rebuild the country, I wonder who will get them? How long before they have free elections? Interesting times ahead for the Libyan people and their country, it will be interesting to see how this all works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am not sorry that Gaddafi is dead, but am I alone in thinking that some of the graphic images that have been shown were unnecessary ?Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Some of the images were graphic, indeed, but I agree with Wooly, necessary for people to realize the man is dead ...My feelings go to those hundreds of young rebels who paid the highest price, and knew the same fate, not filmed by cameras, though. May they rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
