Anyways, this was great in showing the US doesn't always have to be the leader in these missions, we'd be having more success in the Middle East if more coalition efforts were put forth. 

Don't get it twisted, the US led the way. US led the NATO bombings... yes those are US not NATO drones dropping bombs.  US Special Operators were/are on the ground assisting if not leading the rebels. Weapons, armor, intel, food, medical supplies were provided by the US.  $900+ million dollars has been spent by the US in this war so it's ridiculous to think the US isn't at the forefront of this war.

By Jason Ukman

U.S. involvement in the war in Libya cost American taxpayers an estimated $896 million through July 31, according to the Pentagon.

Whether that makes the mission a huge drain on the budget in tough fiscal times or a relatively cheap price to pay to protect Libyan civilians depends on your point of view.

In Afghanistan, the military is seeking $107 billion for the next fiscal year. That makes the annual cost of operations there about 100 times what the United States spent in Libya over four months.

And now that the man is dead, guess which country's defense contractors are going to lead in the reconstruction efforts including sucking the country dry of it's oil? Haliburton ring the bell?

Funny how kids in here who didn't know a thing about Gaddafi or Libya watch a couple of news reports or read a couple of articles and are suddenly experts on the situation.

Let's see how great of a place Libya becomes after this.

Agree.

So if it was the Libyan forces that captured him and killed him, Why are dudes giving props to Obama?

If it wasn't for the NATO Coalition airstrikes, training to Libyan rebels, and supply Gaddafi would still control 95% of his country and still be alive.

I have very mixed feelings about all this. I despise all of the Arab/Middle Eastern dictators that ever lived. Good to see him gone due to all the bloodshed he caused under his reign and oppressing his people. However, the other side of the coin is how despite he was one of the biggest enemies of the West, they did make amends with him and channeled for him millions of dollars. Hate the hypocrisy and how these Western powers are such full of %%#@ talking about terrorism and support for terrorism when they are the biggest supporters of it themselves and pick and choose who to support to push their agendas and their interests.

It makes me cringe that there was external meddling in this.

 

[nawlinsjunkie]

Besides the evil dictator part, I will miss him for his wardrobe, female army, and classic statements

Gold for oil?

African Union?

Gold Dinar?

At the risk of sounding ignorant, can anyone elaborate on how he oppressed his people? I understand the want for democracy after being in power for 42 years. Was it violent oppression, or a neglect by not re-investing in his country and letting his people live in poverty?

Using French, German, British, and US air-strikes, right?
Or CIA "consultants?" 

Or hand-fuls of US "operatives?"

Now, the US did play more of a background role on this one...but lets not front like all this stuff wasn't going on back in March. 

No this is crazy talk everyone must believe American media. Remember back when we was going at it with Russia and they were calling people communist ?
