The monster's final moments...

Muammar Gaddafi killed as Sirte falls, bloody dictator pleads for his life in final moments

WARNING: The video clips below contain graphic/violent/bloody footage.

Today, the people of Libya, the Middle East and the world are free from the evil that was Muammar Gaddafi -- the bloody dictator/terrorist of Libya.

Like other dictators before him -- and certainly others who will come and go for generations to come -- he met his end at the hands of those he oppressed. And the sentence he received for his transgressions -- his inhumanity to man -- was rough justice.

Like other extraordinarily cruel despots before him, Gaddafi -- who fancied himself as a brave warrior -- was found cowering in a hole. After pleading with his captors, including asking them, "What did I ever do to you?," he was summarily executed.

This cancer on Libya, the region and the world is gone.

Thank God.

A word of thanks...

...is due.

"Moammar Gaddafi’s decision to voluntarily surrender his nuclear-weapons program made the US significantly safer as a direct result of the Iraq War. Had we not invaded Iraq in 2003 and captured Saddam Hussein in December of that year, Gaddafi would hardly have felt compelled to protect himself from similar American action at the time. We found out shortly afterward that Libya had succeeded in making weapons-grade plutonium, and oh by the way also had 44,000 pounds of mustard gas. In fact, Gaddafi’s rush to demonstrate his good citizenship only ended in 2007, when domestic opposition to Bush’s efforts in Iraq emboldened Gaddafi back into defiance." (h/t: Hot Air)
