Reuters: Muammar Gaddafi has been killed!

Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds suffered on Thursday as fighters battling to complete an eight-month-old uprising against his rule overran his hometown Sirte, Libya's interim rulers said. His killing, which came swiftly after his capture near Sirte, is the most dramatic single development in the Arab Spring revolts that have unseated rulers in Egypt and Tunisia, and threatened the grip on power of the leaders of Syria and Yemen. National Transitional Council "official" Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters: "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died, with the assistance of NATO warplanes."Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi, who was in his late 60's, was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday, as he tried to flee in a convoy, which NATO warplanes attacked. The former benevolent leader of his people, who used his country's oil revenue to provide free housing and medical care for all of his subjects was an unwilling victim of Obama's wrath. The president, who unlike Gaddafi, squandered billions of our tax dollars on the feeding and care of America's wars, and made it a hobby to stiff the Nobel Prize Committee of its "peace prize" and appeared to make wars a personal hobby, with thanks to our military industrial complex.
