The Fall of Gadhafi, Qaddafi, Qadhafi, Gaddafi, Kaddafi, Khadafy. . . Whatever, he's done

By Douglas V. Gibbs



Nobody really knows how to spell his name, but I suppose it doesn't matter, anymore. Now, it is a problem for the historians to tackle, because it seems that Gadhafi's rule in Libya is over - or that, at least, is what we are being told.



I wonder how long it will take before Obama tries to take credit? After all, he went against pretty much everyone and did whatever the U.N. told him to do, which means he did indeed put America on the front lines at the beginning of the Libya mess.



Heavy criticism convinced him to withdraw a little, but now that wacky-Kadaffi is out of there, Obama is sure to take credit. . . like he tried to in Egypt.



Fact is, regardless of who did it, who was behind it, and if a terrorist organization will work to gain control (like in Egypt), or if the people will find a way to hold down the fort, reality is that Gadhafi is done for.



According to the latest reports, the Rebels have raised their revolutionary flag on Gadhafi's compound.



What will come next is either a stable new government, a regime, civil war, or Western troops with boots on the ground.



Time will tell.
