Anyone have him on their celebrity death lists?

Mickey Rourke looks shook

Think the camera man needs to change the battery, looks to be running low there.

RIP Colonel.

First Joe Cahill and now the Colonel. All the old gang are gone.

He looks like he went well in fairness.

A friend of Ireland.

RIP Colonel Muammar/Moammar Gaddafi/Gadafy/al Qadafi.

Our prayers are with you at this sad time Sid.

Ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis (which probably isnā€™t appropriate, but I couldnā€™t find a Muslim blessing as gaeilge).

is it too soon to move on to syria yet?

My thoughts are with Abdelbaset al-Megrahi at this time. A man locked up for a crime he didnā€™t commit.

It seems that there is now an effort to genuinely remove the Army from power in Egypt, and unsurprisingly the Army are reacting rather differently to this than the events earlier in the year, which they basically ended up shaping to suit their own ends and retain their power. This will be a very interesting week. :popcorn:

It was always a coup there.

Egyptian security forces attacking protesters. Gruesome stuff.
