[Hoot Gibson]

How do you know that the new people in charge won't hold the gunman that killed him accountable, or even that they know who did it?

There is video showing him injured, confused, and in the custody of the rebels. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out what happened to him.

They are claiming that crossfire between the rebels and Gaddafi's supporters was what killed him. One report even said that his own supporters were the ones that got him. The truth is, we can only go on their word right now on what happened in the last minutes of his death.

The rebels have been treating Gaddafi's body like a stuffed lion bagged on a safari. The truth is, people who murder defenseless prisoners often lie about the circumstances of death.

We can also only go on their word that they want democracy, and a relation with the US. They haven't shown anything against the US since he was ousted. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Without the US funding the war against Gaddafi, the rebel leaders would probably not be alive today. Pit bulls sometime go for years without biting the hand that feeds them- but stop feeding them and see how long it takes for them to turn on you. I think the fact that the rebels are refusing to extradite the Pan Am Flight 103 bomber is a pretty good indication of which direction the new Libyan government will take. When American money and arms stop flowing into rebel hands, their attention will turn toward the infidels who helped bring them to power.

I expect that the political developments in Libya, Egypt, and other Muslim nations that have participated in the "Arab Spring" will get little media coverage until after the 2012 elections so that Obama can claim foreign policy triumphs in his stump speeches. When the media finally focuses on the mess that has been left behind in Egypt, and most probably in Libya as well, liberal Democrats will find a way to blame Republicans for the failure of democracy to take hold in those countries. The truth is, democracy has never been an Islamic tradition, and it never will be. It is incompatible with sharia law.
