Yes, you might want to question the competence of an organization which takes 8 months to overthrow a tinpot dictator with 5/7ths of the country behind them and NATO destroying any enemy tanks or trucks that move.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Perhaps his condition deteriorated.

Doctor:  Wassup?
Rebel:  You missed a wound.
Doctor:  Where?
Rebel:  Hmm, not sure, give me a sec. *bam*  Right there on the forehead.
Doctor:  Hmm, I'll be damned.  :hmm:

Gadaffi's wanton murder of Al Jazeera is only the lastest in his horrific record of brutal atrocities and killings.  One can only hope he will be brought to justice soon.
