Gaddafi sodomized: Video shows abuse frame by frame (GRAPHIC)

You got to be kidding me. You are crying over one of the biggest scumbags in the modern world being tortured and killed by the people that he oppressed, tortured and murdered for decades. That sick son of a bitch murdered 178 American civilians in 1988, he got what was coming to him.

Moreover, Obama did not torture him or kill him, the people Gaddafi brutally oppressed for decades are the ones that tortured and killed him. I swear, some of your right wingers are unbelievable. Heaven forbid Charles Manson gets killed in prison before he Obama gets out of office, as you would probably whine about that as well and blame it Obama.

Why is this thread not in the sewer of the basement. How pathetic is this the premise of this thread.

they should have played dueling banjos?
 
that's a funny comment given that Mitt has been married to the same woman for years, hasn't blown her off despite her contracting MS, and there is absolutely no hint of any infidelity

of course taking a cheap shot at his faith is par for the course-from both the left and the bible thumping right

So it's true. Conservatives have no sense of humor. Have you missed the posts where I said I support Romney for President? I've said it multiple times.

there are tortures even on those regimes aka "democracy".

Just that in Africa you don't have an agency like CIA to do the dirty job without the world knowing it. Also you don't have a proffesional media to create an enemy, dictator or a reason for war artificialy.

Gaddaff wasn't killed by his own people. But by some rebels who came from no where with guns found from no where.

Look what lost Libya thnx to this war. http://www.debatepolitics.com/africa/107344-libya-discussion.html#post1059896020 (it's not hard to find the sources tho)

honestly I didn't. but I have seen tons of jokes about mormons to attack MR. I am an agnostic but I tire of bashing a guy over his religion. I cannot stand Obama but i couldn't care less if he's a baptist, a mormon, a Muslim or a follower of the horned beast Ba'al

The rebels were Libyans, it was Gaddafi that was hiring mercenaries from Africa and paying them up to 1000 dollars a day to fight his own people. Moreover, are you saying that Gaddafi is some media created villain?
 
These are the people Team BO decided to support. I am pretty certain I will never understand liberalism. You cry over water boarding terrorists but support scumbags that sodomize a human being and then shoot him in the head? It gets better, the rebels are now claiming sharia law will be the foundation of Libya's political and judicial system. Just wondering, how well are women treated under sharia law? Saying liberals have selective moralsm is one of the greatest understatements of all time.

So how does this work out for the US? Are we and the world better off if Libya goes hardcore islamofacist? If Bush was a cowboy, what is BO? At least cowboys aim and then fire....BO fires and never even tries to aim?


Gaddafi got what every dictator like him should get. If only Osama Bin Laden got the same treatment.

You may want to check his post history before responding to him. He appears to have a rather rabid anti-American agenda, supported by propaganda sites and a list of grievances going back a couple hundred years, lol. I've not taken his posts seriously thus far. Unraveling the sources for such convoluted logic is not high on my to-do list. ;)

I growed up in america and i love that country a lot.
Just that what america do outside is everything related to hypocrisy, disgustion.

It was really fair to ask for revenge the day of 9/11 and america got it. But tell me one thing. Where those families who lost childrens or parents due to US bombardation all over the africa & middle east will find the justice ??

Extremely graphic footage: Libyan children killed by NATO bombs - YouTube
Libyan Children victims of NATO's bombing against Libya - YouTube

Who will pay for these losts?? Will you americans accept to pay because your president wanted to throw some missiles down there??

Of course not. But think of something. If a man come back from work and see his house destroyed by your bombs, then see his children and wife dead by a missile, his life is over. He does not have why to leave for anymore. Do not be suprised why that man a day will be a kamikaze. USA make enemies itself. losts of 9/11 in USA is nothing related to what lost africa and muslim world.

I find that difficult to believe, given the fact that English is obviously your second language (which I applaud, since I speak only one language), and your grammar is not conducive to having been educated in American schools.

America has done things you clearly disapprove of. America has also been on the forefront of foreign aid, disaster assistance around the world, have assisted in preventing genocide in the Balkans, assisted in defeating the axis in WW2, and helped maintain the democracy in South Korea, etc. We have enemies, but we also have friends. Kosovars and Croats cried with happiness for NATO's help with Serbian brutality; Serbs were not so happy. Libyan rebels who wanted democracy cried with happiness for NATO's help. Kadaffi loyalists did not. :shrug: You look at America and see only ugliness, blind to any good it may have done or people it may have helped saved. That does not tell me you love this country.

In many of the few posts you have made here, you have listed "American atrocities" going all the way back to the 1800's. You rail about the horrors America has wrought on the world without acknowledging any of its accomplishments. That does not tell me that you love this country.

This is the internet. People can pretend to be anyone from anywhere. Whether they will believed, well, that's something else again.
 
I need to type slower, let me spell it out for you BO tools........LIBERALS ARE HYPOCRITES.

Had this been on Bush's watch you people would have been screaming for his impeachment. Wait, had Bush started launching drones all over the world killing US citizens like BO is doing, the impeachment would already be in motion. Of course that assumes Bush wasn't being impeached for starting a couple of wars without any Congressional approval. The silence of the liberals if deafening.

Moderator's Warning:
You need to knock off the personal attacks.
 
So how does this work out for the US?

Maybe inhumane treatment is nothing new.

Abu-ghraib-leash.jpg


It doesn't seems like celebrating someones death is a new concept.



Not sure how this works out for the US, but I myself prefer not to take part in such activities.

I would prefer my enemies be brought to trial in a somewhat decent manner.
 
Oh stuff it, Coin. Their leader was using their own fighter jets to bomb their own citizens. NATO decided that wasn't cool and put an end to it. Matt, I celebrated the death of Bin Laden too. Why? Because the SOB attacked my country and killed my citizens. I tend not to have much sympathy for people like that. If you have sympathy for Bin Laden, that's your choice. Just make sure you stay anon on the net saying **** like that because some people are nuts.

All the above understood, but still I am amazed by all the people from around the world that just are not fond of the policies and actions of the US around the world.

Maybe the good that we believe to have done is not all it has been hyped up to be, and the bad that we see is not nearly as bad as what was done, but then I guess the total opposite could be true as well.

Still it is really interesting to think about it all if one is really able to look beyond what we have been lead to believe (what we think of as fact etc) and consider another side of the story etc. I mean even though many are truly amazed by the things we here have become accustomed to etc I have found some sort of resentment or dislike of our country (not always it's people) from way too many I have met outside of the US that there can not be something to cause these feelings. Sure it can be the result of propaganda from outside the US, but then many of us here do not believe our views could be from the very same problem (propaganda) used here towards us.


One thing I know for sure is that it is obvious that many posting in this thread are just repeating things they have heard before or been lead to believe by the media etc, and it seems only a few are offering any thoughts that are outside what is being seen in the normal media.

I am wondering if those who think the reasons there was any support by the US to remove Gaddfi had anything to do with liberating the country also believe the US was in Iraq only to liberate or to remove Saddam Hussien?

Follow the money and power, and think with an open mind, and then just maybe one can find an answer close to the truth, but please do not believe all the crap were being fed on the news as it just does not make any sense.

Or maybe you're listening to the vocal minority without taking into account that the majority, while critical of many US actions, realise the good that the US does, and find no reason to be loudly critical.
 
Bottom line, by following the policy he did, Obama was able to help the Libyan's free themselves of a murderous, anti-democratic sponsor of terror against the U.S. other countries around the world. It cost us about 1/1000th what we paid to get rid of Saddam, not a single U.S. trooper was killed, and we are not on the hook for a protracted bout of nation building.

That's what I call kickin' it liberal style. :cool:

Was just really thinking out loud, and sort of playing devils advocate.

Still I think it is a good thing to question some of the thoughts or beliefs we take for granted just in case etc.

I also know from experience that questioning or rethinking things can give one a much clearer understanding.

That does sound pretty good on the surface, but again how much of the above do we really know to be completely true.

I would think the cost comparison may be accurate, and the dollars spent would in no way compare to what has been spent over three different presidential administrations (or was it four lol) in Iraq, but what do we REALLY know about Libya?

What I mean is when you look outside of the US you will find information (go ahead and search for yourself) that shows both good and bad, and if you look really close you will find where some of the leaders of the more radical Islamic groups (I believe the same people who murdered Sadat) actually had personally threatened Gaddafi for his views and statements that were not inline with their radical beliefs.

I have also found information showing that this guy had been cooperating with the US in recent years, and was not looked at as a threat at all.

I remember on one of those boring weekend news shows way before the original invasion of Iraq that they were discussing potential "bad guys" that the public would back an invasion of, and Gaddafi was dismissed at that time (I believe around the time of the 93 failed WTC bombing) though they agreed he was a potential due to the previous airline bombings etc.

This does not mean this guy was a priest or even a true friend of the US, but that is also true of many of our so called friends!
 
Ahh, i haven't seen yet a democracy in Iraq.

Anyway, problem is the way that USA lead this campaign against Gaddaff. They gave money and weapons to rebels to kill Gaddaff. Obama even ignored US constitution during bombardation in Libya.
The reason of that war was stupid. They wanted Gaddaff dead for ?? - because they didn't liked his plan for gold african dinar (would dollar and euro be pissed of?) Because Gaddaff wanted to unite all Africa?? Because Libya was a rich country with high quality of education & healthcare and it was free? because regime gave $20'000 to every new married couple ? because electricity was free in libya? because Gaddaff gave house to all Libyans? because all libyans loved gaddaff (1 july 2011 at green square proved it)

No it's not that/

Just that Rothschild empire (who roll most of globe but seems like even america) wanted to conquer it. And since this empire have their rats in highest positions into biggest organizations/goverments wasn't so hard to find a reason to start an attack.
Afganistan, Iraq, Libya was attacked by stupid reasons. Soon we will see Iran.

Many presidents have changed and america never end up it's wars with Africa and middle east.

USA attacked Iraq at 1963. - CIA organizes coup that killed president, brings Ba'ath Party to power, and Saddam Hussein back from exile to be head of the secret service.
USA attacked Iraq at 1990. (older Bush) Blockade of Iraqi and Jordanian ports, air strikes; 200,000+ killed in invasion of Iraq and Kuwait; large-scale destruction of Iraqi military
USA attacked Iraq at 1998.
USA attacked Iraq at 2003. (elder Bush) - seems like they don't like anymore their old friend Saddam Hussein so they choose to kill him.

IRAN 1987-88 US intervenes on side of Iraq in war.
USA attacked IRAN at 1953. CIA overthrows democracy, installs Shah.

USA attacked Libya at 1986. (Ronald Reagan)
USA attacked Libya at 2011. (Barac Obama)

No matter who become president of USA. USA will always be the same.

I found this interesting as even though the first I have seen mention the Rothschild connection here I have been in more than one discussion where their name has come up (not just Libya also) and it would not surprise me at all if following the money and power would lead to enlightenment once again :)

Though I do not fault the US for all its foreign actions (nothing is perfect etc) I can see the basis for your negative opinion, but I think you would benefit from two things in making your points.

One is that you already have thoughts towards the other controlling factors or groups of the world, just like you point to the Rothschild's there are others outside the US with much to gain from so many of the worlds changes.

Two is that you really need to either more fully explain or back up your statements. I know it is a pain at times, and when I did post here more often it was requested as well.

I know we can not always post a link to everything (something just can not survive on the net etc) but there is more to making the claim stick than making it etc.

Lastly it is interesting to see a different opinion and writing style :)

So how does this work out for the US? Are we and the world better off if Libya goes hardcore islamofacist? If Bush was a cowboy, what is BO? At least cowboys aim and then fire....BO fires and never even tries to aim?

Conservativeguy expresses his outrage suggesting that fact that one Libyan rebel going to far is somehow an indictment of liberals in America as a whole.

A few posts later some American conservative offers:

If that were a bowie knife there were be copious amounts of blood. During Nam the Seals used a disemboweling technique against NVA sentries that involved thrusting a knife up the rectum-apparently the victim's reaction is to suck in air stifling a scream and the blood loss causes almost instant immobilization

I am speechless.
 
Please stop attemtpign to weave corporate democrats in with liberals. True liberals should be denouncing the war on Libya's government + people.
 
Why would true liberals not support an attempt to shed a dictator?

As a liberal, I am fine with the shedding of a dictator as long as it doesn't require occupation and the people of that region are happy for us to be there.

There is no question that Ghadafi had been sucking up to us lately. There's also no question that he supported terrorists who killed Americans -- unlike Saddam. The two really had a lot in common.

Islamic extremists have long sought to overthrow the secular dictators in the ME. In fact that has been their primary purpose all along. The irony is that in decades of struggle, they gained absolutely no headway with their terrorist tactics, while the largely secular Arab Spring protesters have made enormous strides in under a year. It will be very interesting to see how all of this shakes out. The Islamists may end up gaining power in some or all of these countries, or democracy may win out and the extremists may suffer their greatest defeeat.

What's clear is that the status quo wasn't working for anyone -- except the dictators and their close associates. Speaking of which, it was recently reported that Ghaddafi managed to rob Libya of around $200 billion, or about twice the amount previously thought.
