Not only have the objectives been met, but for the first time in many years, we and our allies are the recipients of sincere thanks, rather than curses. This Libyan man stood out in the crowd of jubilant rebels by virtue of his eye-catching garb. He is wearing Gaddafi’s hat, huge gold chain, and carrying his scepter. It rather suits the rebel who some say favors comedian Chris Rock. He’s obviously still jazzed about finding himself in Gaddafi’s room, and of course elated over the recent victory.
He told a reporter that he was “Happy for Libyans, for these people who have suffered a lot, and I thank all the countries that have stood with us that have given us help and support.” He expressed a desire to see justice now, but no more bloodshed, hoping for “a new beginning, a new life, a new future, a new Libya.”
