The following is excerpted from “Murder on Her Mind,” now on WND.COM:
“We came, we saw, he died,” cackled Hillary Rodham Clinton. The gorgon who heads Caesar’s state department was gripped by a paroxysm of joy when a CBS News reporter informed her that Col. Muammar Qaddafi had been executed. ‘Veni, Vidi, Vici’: ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ is attributed to Julius Caesar in 47 B.C.
The hilarity unfolded on October 20, 2011. Backed by American drones and French fighter jets above, our Libyan buddies, “the rebels,” apprehended Qaddafi as he fled his hometown of Sirte en route to Misrata, both on the Mediterranean Sea. As they lynched their former leader on camera, the rebels emitted their version of Hillary’s blood-curdling riff: ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.’ Sophisticated enough to film their ‘justice,’ these atavists had no qualms about tearing into a defenseless individual before summarily shooting him in the head. …
The war in Libya was Hilary’s special project. As in Greek mythology, it all began with three Gorgon sisters. Medusa’s posse included Samantha Power (special assistant to the president and member of his National Security Council), and UN Ambassador Susan Rice. The women devised the casus belli for this war, and cultivated the ‘angels and demons’ Disney production, which starred an evil dictator who was killing his noble people, and three amazon warriors, who—high on estrogen-driven paternalism—rode to the rescue.
Human Rights Watch is tracking the blood sports in Libya as best it can (for the NTC is as transparent as the emperor in the White House). And there’s a lot to laugh about.” …

UPDATED (Oct. 28): Blood Feud? On the column’s WND Facebook Wall, some individuals have alluded to the proper way to exact justice on Col. Muammar Gadhafi. The implication is that Gadhafi needed killing, but not public lynching. I’m an Old-Testament kind of gal; everyone who reads this column, knows this about me. But I’m for justice, not a program of pogroms targeting all the men in the world the US deems to be bad.
Read the BBC News excerpt below. History tells us that the Libyan leadership had taken “responsibility for the bombing in 2003 and paid compensation to the victims.” It also handed over the “two Libyans suspected of organising the incident in 1999 for trial in The Hague.”
The Anglo-American axis agreed to these terms; it agreed that Libya had paid for Lockerbie. Primitives carry on a blood feud for eternity. And untrustworthy snakes go back on their word. How inspiring would it have been had the Egyptian springsters, over whom almost all media (libertarian too) slobbered, and the Libyan “rebels,” began their “democracy” with a show of forgiveness: Let their old dictators retire in ignomy. Leave them alone. Why kill them? (Mubarak is next, you know it.)
Via BBC New:
After the 1988 bombing of a PanAm plane above the Scottish town of Lockerbie, which the US blamed on Libya, the Gaddafi regime was shunned by much of the international community.
But it underwent a dramatic rehabilitation by taking formal responsibility for the bombing in 2003 and paying compensation to the victims.
Two Libyans suspected of organising the incident were handed over in 1999 for trial in The Hague under Scottish law. In 2001 one of the suspects was found guilty of killing 270 people in the bombing.
The UN lifted sanctions, and Libya’s subsequent renunciation of weapons of mass destruction further improved relations with the West.
