championed democratic justice. people in libya. have an even greater chance after this news of building themselves a strong and democratic future i'm proud of the role that britain has played in helping them to bring that about and i pay tribute to the bravery of the libyans who've helped to liberate their country we will help them we will work with them a long way from cameron's insistence that get happy be put on trial in t.c. fighters were even dissuaded from the shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take in the law i think you've got to be fair trial. in any case but i mean nevertheless the what is basically i guess a kind of summary execution of what may well have been a summary execution is a kind of fairly barbaric into what i believe was a very operation from the start and as a side you know this was not this was never supposed to be about regime change this
10:03 am
nato operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of it the backslapping has been fuelled by this gruesome footage of kidnappings body splashed across headlines pleaded for word and the people power is not going to be put back here in libya thanks to the u.s. and its nato allies this video shows gadhafi was still alive when captured clearly didn't last long some suggest an execution and question why this is now being applauded he was assassinated after he was caught one that this is a very handy as crime against a one hundred man and the other public will see it as such i've talked to people who dislike the brassy all this. the way he was killed they think that this those are something of world the moral of the of the so-called revolutionaries this is also shared by many on twitter there are several posts here already concerned about the coverage questioning the need for such graphic images and why their dictator or
10:04 am
not has been reported with such jubilation the images have been labelled her ific this tweet says the b.b.c. wouldn't have used the images for anyone else another suggestion also having a competition sally bercow a prominent activist in the u.k. says she sees why the same wasn't done for bin laden back then a bomber refused to release the images saying it could incite more violence will be used as propaganda for gadhafi the vultures are too quick to bennett's r.t. london. professor hasn't come c.f. from bethlehem university things nato has a long term strategy to establish a foothold in libya. definitely i think the u.n. and human rights organizations should all push not only for investigation. and certainly the lynching that many other libyan members will be. supported. but also the bombings that inflicted in libya that destroyed
10:05 am
so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the east who was killed in the strikes and they are especially the united states which is leading in the scarce lives clearly interested in prevention would be alone and if they can get away with it i would say for decades that they would have given libya because i'm very mystical pro libya and will change in libya in such a way to make it easier for instituting an american base in libya which existed. in sixty nine own crew controlled all oil industry in libya in a private provision. and most this is hypocritical on the part of a u.s. because they also how do we know why he himself who collaborated with the cia and
10:06 am
with the west for the past nine years or eight years al despite the colonel's death nato has yet to announce the end of it seven not one bombing campaign in libya and what started off as a mission to protect civilians quickly targeted. out of favor with the west never live to see his trial for war crimes that the hague as art is going to check out reports he could simply have been worth more dead or alive to the alliance. hillary clinton on a surprise visit to tripoli days before the killing of the ousted leader leader where she was quoted as saying the u.s. hopes to seek out the killed or captured soon the captured scenario might have put gadhafi in that awful dejection leader's truth or those of iraq's saddam hussein but a trial over colonel gadhafi you know down here even more contradicts that there's no doubt that he was very cool thing for the big european players for the u.s.
10:07 am
if you went to the hague you would spill the beans about all that there are a few deals there at this stuff a real politic between the west in a developing country like libya nobody wanted that libyan transitional government official saying final could go he was cornered grain underneath the road in open country site near the city of sirte please don't shoot was allegedly heard at the site many point out similarities to the capture of saddam hussein he was discovered in a small underground hole concealed next to farm buildings near his own hometown but unlike sadam who was captured alive by u.s. forces colonel qadhafi was reportedly shot dead by lead in transitional authorities not without the help of the u.s. and american defense official claimed a u.s. predator drone along with a french fighter jet hit could avi's convoy thursday morning as they were trying to escape effectively handing them over to the lead in forces on the ground there are still unanswered questions about what happened to promote the how was he killed the
10:08 am
guy. clearly i think one of. four external intervention and all of nato. may not have been able to achieve their objective nato's view when mandate was to protect libyan civilians but it quickly became to get rid of gadhafi and prop up a government which is now in power only thanks to this. support of the allied forces and i think we'll see. not a new democracy in libya but a new reorganization of the libyan political and economic. institutions for the benefit of those who brought their national transition council to power it will be for the benefit of the united states or oil companies for the benefit of the british and the french of perhaps the italian oil companies they're the big winners here in the meantime western leaders are celebrating leave us transition to democracy without putting a single u.s. service member on the ground we achieved our objectives but the us president did
