President Barack Obama will speak from the White House Rose Garden on Thursday afternoon about the killing of Moammar Gadhafi.

Obama's remarks are scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT. U.S. officials have yet to say anything publicly about Gadhafi's death, though one U.S. official said Libya's government informed the United States earlier in the day.

Gadhafi was killed in his hometown of Sirte. His death comes seven months after the U.S. and NATO launched a bombing campaign in Libya to protect civilians from attacks by forces loyal to the longtime leader. While the U.S. initially took the lead in the campaign, it eventually played a secondary role to other NATO allies.

2. HeeHee.

My thoughts exactly! Executing someone without due process really makes the world SO much safer!

[tblue]

7. We are off the rails.

I really am dumbfounded by all this glee about a death.

9. +1 (n/t)

3. hopefully he won' t try to contradict latest news here in the uk

He was in a convoy attacked by nato.
He escaped into a drain to hide.
He was pulled out and shot in the head.

5. Seal Team Six?

Nah, called Roto-rooter

A young Libyan guy.

4. dupe-self delete

8. Really? Why?

WTF could he possibly say?

Is he going to give a bush high five or some bullshit?

Is he going to thank the guy who killed for taking OWS of the radar? So much like bush it makes me want to puke.

[tblue]

10. Prolly.

It's sick. Finding happiness anyone's death are really not anything I want to be a part of. I think it makes for VERY BAD karma.

11. seems to be the equivalent of the ticker-tape parade that many, DU'ers included, are itching for.

it's not just Obama & the Democratic Party, which drifted to the right of wrong.

:puke:

[tblue]

16. LOL! Oh dear marasinghe....

I have to laugh because I what I wrote makes absolutely no sense. But YOU understood me! (I think it was that beer I had with dinner coupled with being interrupted by three people as I was typing that. I a idjit!)

[geek tragedy]

12. Sorry your hero got capped.

What dictator will you root for next?

Wait, I know--Assad!

[Amonester]

13. Yep. Coming up next.

When not done already.

[geek tragedy]

14. Seriously, we're supposed to pretend that Qaddafi/Assad loving

authoritarians who hate Obama belong at a site for Democratic underground instead of at Stormfront.

[Amonester]

15. I like to think they don't belong, but I am not authoritarian enough

to decide if they can stay or not, and personally, belonging or not to one in a million or more message boards on the Internet is a little old thinking, but I also think it remains the message-board owners priviledge to decide who belongs and who doesn't.

Back to the subject, yes, Greedyfuck and Ass-had loving cheerleaders make me... :puke:

Hugo's included.
