He played Call of Duty? No wonder Libya rebelled. Nobody in their right mind would want to be in a country who's leader played that abomination of a game series.

If Amerika ever elects a CoD player I'll start a rebellion.

Well, our former leader kind of lost in COD 2

Thank you, I now have an image of Gaddafi standing alone in the desert, waving his arms about and yelling "OVER HERE! OVER HE----oh sh-"

He would be in a hole saying, "Don't shoot, don't shoot!"

Lets all feel sorry for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as he will be so lonely at UN meetings without his bes buddy Gaddafi

This isn't the Gaddafi you're looking for!

Well that confirms a hunch I had. Watching the reports of the fighting in Sirte, I was a bit puzzled how the forces there, despite being surrounded for quite a while and obviously in a desperate situation, kept fighting what seemed to be a meaningless battle against their own people. So I figured they had to be guarding something really important for that to be worth it. I didn't necessarily think it was the man himself, but that thought crept into my mind. Turns out I was right - nope, it wasn't just some miraculous resistance, they really were covering the big one...

In the footage showing his body, looked like a few in the crowd were taking machetes to it......

According to BBC,

"Sometime in the early hours, Nato aircraft are reported to have attacked the convoy, according to Daily Telegraph reporter Ben Farmer approximately 3-4 kms west of the city.

There are some reports that Col Gaddafi was then initially captured, with serious injuries to both legs."

Then he was hiding out in the pipe, confronted by rebel fighters, shot, taken to hospital in Misrata (yup, 200km away), and died there. Sure no walk in the park!

Fascinating story if that's true! Perhaps symbolic of the whole conflict as such.

It seems Gaddafi was lynched and filmed.

I just hope the people get what they want in the end, and foreign governments don't meddle anymore. It only breeds contempt down the line. Which is always paid for in blood (We armed the taliban against Soviets, they used said materiel against the US later)

We (UN) did our part. Back out, let the people do theirs...For better or for worse.

I'm starting to suspect as much - very hard to tell from the pictures we're getting. If not that, I'm almost certain that someone among the captors pulled a gun and shot him while he was in custody - considering how high the emotions of all this are, and the depth of grudges that might be held, I wouldn't be surprised if that fact ended up being buried. He looks very much alive in the early pictures, and very dead and battered in late pictures. Whatever happened between that was probably not pretty. Not sure we'll know the truth here, but I don't think much of anyone will miss him either!
