I guess it's how you define it. Hiding in a hole, begging, sounds like being a coward. And the things he did to people, or allowed to be done, were cowardly. But I guess that's just my take.

So you think he wasn't a coward but he wasn't brave? I mean coward is an antonym for brave, so I'm not sure what your game is, since by saying he wasn't a coward you're implying he was brave. :blink:

Damn, he should've gone out with that convoy of all his goods in Niger...I was pro-Gaddafi mainly just because the nation was somewhat stable under him. Whereas now it is just a huge heap of chaos and armed gangs (i.e. the rebels) roaming the streets of every city. There's no organization to these armed forces, and pretty soon we're gonna see factions split from the NTC, each wanting something different. It'll be interesting to see, and hell I'd love to see Saif take the reigns of Libya in a quick coup :twisted:

Many people, actually. His soldiers showed more courage then he did. Funny that he thought begging would do anything after all the things he'd done to those people.
I know I for one wouldn't have been caught dead in that hole (pun intended :lol: ) because I wouldn't have been a dictator prat to begin with. ;)

Because I'm SOO eager to believe the version that the terrorists put forth.
I mean, they have no motive at all to spit on his memory and make him seem as reprehensible as they possibly can.
I think we'll learn soon that he fucked sheep or something.

He had been given countless chances to walk away with his life and he refused.

It's entirely his fault, and the bastard deserved it.

He fucked himself up, that's what he did. He was already seen as reprehensible before all this.

If only his actual troops had been as stalwart as his internet defenders. :lol2:

Oh, and apparently there have been massive celebrations of Gaddafi's death, a clear sign that most Libyans support him.

Oh wait, they're all NATO/US stooges. Of course. :roll:

Kim spends all his personal money into military investments.

Hence, like the rest of his country, he goes to China for food. :D
