Gadaffi - Waiting up for the lynching
Posted by Sebastian Beach on 22 August 2011 - 1:43am.
As someone who grew up in Belfast in the 1970's my thoughts go back to my cousin Duncan, neigbours and the Dads of friends who were murdered through the use of weapons supplied by Gadaffi. I am staying up with another bottle of Chilean Grenache and a spare bag of Tyrells if it all finally kicks off before 3am.
I appreciate many will think this post is rather harsh and a little
tastless, but I hope he hangs, that it is slow and painful.

Lockerbie
imagine the people of that town might be raising a glass or two as well.
What I don't understand
is the way this dragged on for 6 months and at times looked as though the incumbent regime would keep the upper hand. In a matter of days, they take over a town, move 30 miles, and knock on the man's door.
How? Or, more to the point, which part of which Western power has suddenly given the rebels the juice they need to get there?
They took over
a town on the last route out of Tripoli. With a no-fly zone and a naval blockade in place, it was the sole remaining artery for supplying Gaddaffi's forces. Once that was cut off, Tripoli was the only place left.
Is there much of a mystery there?
France has been arming and training the rebels, that is the worst kept secret since Frankie Howerd's wig. I guess it took a while to get them up to speed.
Frankie Howerd wears a wig?!?
Oh man, where have I been?
I don't have that perspective on it...
but I sincerely hope that he is captured and brought to account for what he has done.
I'm really hoping that this will be over soon, and the the people of Libya can control their own destiny. I'm not holding my breath on that, since the prospect of a post-victory collapse and bloodbath seems all too real. Let's hope that the endgame is as peaceful as it can possibly be.
Personally
I would like to see him behind bars for the rest of his days.
The man is a nasty piece of work, & we would all be better off without him, but I am opposed to the death penalty, not partially opposed.
Lock him up, throw the key away.
