Just last year, this guy was a billionaire. Now his body is being dragged naked through the streets.

If he was smart, he could have saved his billions and allowed elections to take place and left the country, and just enjoyed a life of limitless luxury and women. Instead he was dumb, and now he's dead.

Well, he was a monster, but you got give it to the man..he had an ALL-FEMALE squad of bodyguards known as the Amazons who also took an oath of chastity (except to bang him).

From wiki:

"But it has also been submitted that Gaddafi's female bodyguards are in reality just an aspect of the dictator's well-known eccentric showmanship and his fondness of surrounding himself with young women.[3] Gaddafi would usually travel with 15 of his Amazonian Guards.[4]"

I'm surprised it was only 15, I'd be travelling with 50 female bodyguards to guard my body =)

This is a scene from a 1987 comedy show. They missed the date of his death by 83 days.

The pictures remind of the great lines in 48 hours when Nick Nolte goes to visit Eddie Murphy in prision.

Quote:

Reggie: You gonna write my life story?
Jack: Not likely, Reggie. Tell me who this is.
[shows Reggie a photo of a guy with a bullet in his head]
Reggie: That's Henry Wong, old friend of mine. He's looked BETTER.

Of course, that is not the greatest line.

Quote:

Reggie: I've been in prison for three years. My dick gets hard if the wind blows.

I gotta respect Gaddhafi because of those amazonian chicks. Gaddhafi was dumb to stay in Sirte he should have left when he had the chance.
I wonder what's gonna happen to his son Seif Al Islam?

Today a Peacock...tomorrow a featherduster!

Wonder how many dodgy leaders round the world are reassessing their political philosophy at the moment.

Check this out:

Muammar Qaddafi was three times as rich as Carlos Slim and ten times richer than King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia — easily the richest man in the world.

Qaddafi was supposedly worth over $200 billion with assets in bank accounts, real estate and corporate investments around the world.

The new $200 billion figure is about double the prewar annual economic output of Libya, which has the largest proven oil reserves in Africa.

Here he is getting beaten:

Long fall from Grace.

200$ billion? i kinda doubt that he was the richest man in the world...this guy had more money than carlos slim? damn

PARIS (Reuters) - Deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi wrote to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in August begging him to halt a NATO-led intervention that was helping a rebel uprising drive him from power, French weekly Paris Match reported.

If authentic, the missive reveals Gaddafi's desperation as, days after going on the run, he reached out to a man who had been a close friend and his most solid ally in Europe until Italy joined the West's campaign to back Libyan rebels.

The magazine's website showed a copy of the letter, dated August 5 and in printed Arabic, with handwritten lines scrawled on it, purportedly by Gaddafi and marked to the attention of his aide Abdallah Mansour. It read: "Send on this message as coming from me, by means of this document, after correction."

The words "new friends" at the bottom were then crossed out and "friends and allies" written above it in the same hand.

Gaddafi was buried on Tuesday in a secret location in the Sahara desert, after being shot last week.

In the missive, Gaddafi reproached Berlusconi, with whom he had developed a warm and jovial friendship over several years, for not intervening to help him and reminds him of the pact of friendship between the two countries.

"I have been surprised by the attitude of a friend with whom I have sealed a treaty of friendship that benefits both our nations," the letter read. "I would have hoped that at least you would have been concerned at the facts and would have attempted a mediation before adding your support to this war."

Berlusconi said in a speech to supporters in September that had felt "very bad" about switching sides in April and joining the NATO campaign to oust his old friend from power. He said he had even considered resigning over the issue.

It is not clear whether the letter ever reached Berlusconi, who appealed to Gaddafi on August 22 to end his resistance to avoid further bloodshed in Libya. There was no immediate comment available from Berlusconi's office on Friday.

Paris Match magazine said the letter had been delivered to Berlusconi's office by an Italian couple that had become friends of Gaddafi as they run an agency that provided personnel for conferences Gaddafi held on his trips to Rome.

The letter went on to say that it was not too late for Italy to change direction and protect Gaddafi, and that he and his supporters were ready to turn the page on relations with Italy.

"I do not blame you for things you are not responsible for because I am well aware that you were not in favor of this disastrous action which honors neither you nor the Italian people," the letter read.

I actually have two friends with families living in Libya and I can tell you that both are ecstatic with the downfall of Gaddafi. They are both expatriates because of the brutal nature of his regime and still lived in fear in the United States because Gaddafi is well known for sending assassins to track down and murder Libyans living abroad.

My friend A. has family living in Misrata and said that her family had told her the entire town had been surrounded by regime forces and was being shelled indiscriminately for months. She was over the moon when she learned that it was the Misrata brigade who finally captured and killed Gaddafi and Mutassim.

There were several protests across the street from my house here in Houston (I live by the Galleria) and I can tell you from speaking with the protesters that I have personally never met a Libyan who wanted Gaddafi or his family to stay in power in Libya. That's just from personal experience.

I find it quite interesting that leftists and Human Rights groups are all bent out of shape about the way Gaddafi was...ahem...."handled" in the final moments of his life.

Lefties always show more deference to unequivocally bad people. Lefties so called peace philosophy is really just a cover for their submission to the perceived strong alpha male. The same way regular folks will behave if they encounter a biker gang.

Their instincts when Gaddafi is captured, is to demand all kinds of special treatment, fair trial, human rights etc. But when regular citizens die horribly in Gaddafi’s rape/torture chambers, they could care less. Their self perception is defined by how much tolerance they can show towards the intolerable. The worse the perpetrator, the more saintly they become in their own mind, when they defend him.

It's classic submission to the alpha.

And the problem is NOT that they demand human rights for Gadaffi. It’s that they don’t give a damn about decent people’s human rights. And hell will freeze over before those on the left gain the intellectual competence to understand this distinction. It will never happen, because it is simply psychologically impossible.

Politically, a leftist thinks like a lizard.

Don't rely on the corporate media to tell you the truth. In Africa I see a whole new perspective to this story. Steve Lurkel had it right-that war had fuckall to do with democracy.

I agree.

We may see a swath of Islamist radical states throughout north Africa.

I swear, the Gaddafi video reminds me of Weekend at Bernie's.

You might not like the man but these are just the facts...Don't depend on Mainstream Media to shape your views...

This is not the view of the MAJORITY of people in Libya. A small segment of expats and tribal pacts wanted Gadaffi gone because they never embraced his style of leadership. I have researched this issue for months. Gadaffi represented the single biggest threat to Anglo/western power. If the African Union and gold backed currency backed by Libya with China as main beneficiaries came on-line the Anglo west would be toast.

Gadaffi was hunted down and lynched. Plain and simple. This whole mission was about drawing his blood. 30K plus dead of a base of lies. The original charges against Gadaffi were weak at best.

In Toronto Libyans were cheering and hoisting their new flag I asked some of them "You know now that Gadaffi is gone Libya will be back to exploited and poverty stricken just as was prior to the Green revolution.. right?" They shooed me away as they danced and waved flags from their beemers. I started to name of the countries USA/NATO have raped and pillaged after regime change and they did not want to hear it.

I read Gadaffi 'Green Book' a month ago and its funny because his "3rd way" honestly sounds like what America would be like today if its social revolutions of the 60's we're able to fully go through.

[Pepini]

Don´t forget changing Dollars for Euros.

[kosko]

That too. Africa with its on NON DEBT.. NON-ANGLO currency with trillions upon trillions or natural resources still untouched? With the West not getting special treatment? It would of finally brought stability to the continent no more of thuggish cronies whom just suck dry the treasury's of their respected countries. - true and honest development would have to take place. Infrastructure would finally get built and progress would finally start to slowly happen.
