With the death of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya today, Obama's terrorist hit list keeps growing (or shrinking rather). Hard to argue with results. If only the guy was half this effective on the economy....or anything else for that matter.

-- Tehrik e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Baitullah Mahsud killed in Pakistan

(For the nitpickers among you, yes, Obama gets the credit for the Gadhafi takedown. NATO's Libyan operations and the rebel forces efforts were not sustainable without massive and
comprehensive US support in all phases of the combat operations.)
Relentlessly Real. If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.

Tell me again the justification for the "hit" on the head of the sovereign nation of Libya?
If the US intervention in Libya has killed several times more people than the 747 plane load of people over Lockerbe Scotland - at what point do you expand your definition of terrorism?
Keep in mind that Obama said that this was a "Humanitarian Mission". Then the "Humanitarian Mission" was ended by NATO - once Gaddafi was killed.
Now Jesse Jackson is fearing that "dark skinned Africans" are being targeted for attack by the rebel groups. Question - do you believe that NATO will go back in for a "Humanitarian Mission" to safe the dark skinned Africans in Libya?
