US drone kills Gaddafi

US drone kills Gaddafi

“Libyan rebels did not kill Gaddafi. They executed him, dazed and hapless – medieval style.

A hellfire missile fired by a US drone hovering some five miles above in the skies of Libya made the kill – now, that’s how it’s done in the 21st century – clinically precise and from far away.

Much as Obama and Hillary Clinton were trying to defer the honor of deposing Gaddafi to their NATO allies, Britain and France – and “the armed people of Libya fighting oppression” – in the end Uncle Sam had to step in and wave his big stick.

Somebody somewhere at the White House or the Pentagon or at Langley Virginia made up his mind: enough is enough, “letting the people of Libya decide their own future” is going nowhere. Gaddafi enjoys too much support and there’s too great a risk of prolonged civil war – and, most importantly, as long as Gaddafi lives the Libyan oil supply won’t be safe.

KABOOM! Hellfire hits the ground and Libya starts a new chapter of its history.

Let’s leave aside the highly questionable moral and legal issues -like what UN mandate authorized the aerial killing of a sovereign foreign leader, deposed or otherwise?

Let’s talk about something that affects everybody – money.
Here’s one big and unquestionable winner in the whole Libya debacle…The World’s United Military Industrial Complex”
