We did and I'm sure if were up to the US he would have been captured instead of killed (if it were possible) but it wasn't up to the US. And before you start comparing Gadaffi with Bin Laden, there's no comparison. Just to add, Gaddafi was the one who brought down the plane over lockerbe killing British and Americans in 88'.
Good riddance to him. he deserved what he got.
I think one thing about obama - he'd much prefer to KILL bad guys than capture them.
Bin laden would have given us a WEALTH - I'm talking 30 years - of terror intel after a few waterboardings.
If obama is content to leave that kind of brain matter on the bedroom walls, i'm guessing he would have dispatched of kadaffi the same way.
Or, to further make the point - those weren't "surrender!" bombs we were dropping on his homes and hideouts. Those were the "kill kadaffi" kinds.
