The Daily Show on the End of the War in Iraq

I'm not exactly sure why Republicans are so upset about the long-overdue end of the war in Iraq. Don't they realize that this frees up all the resources President Bachmann will need for sending troops into Iran?

The Daily Show on the Fall of Muammar Qaddafi

I'm gonna have to say that if the news of your violent death causes nationwide celebration in the country you ruled and praise for France from U.S. Republicans, you're probably doing something wrong.

Coverage continues with John Oliver and Libyan Ambassador Ali Suleiman Aujali after the jump.

Quote Unquote: Mount Rushmore

Andrew Sullivan on President Obama's track record with regards to killing bad people in faraway places…

"To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he'd be on Mount Rushmore by now."

Well, luckily for everybody, Obama is a Democrat, so we're free to hand all the credit off to other countries. Which is nice because it means we're finally exporting something besides jobs.

Muammar Gaddafi Killed in Gun Battle

So, here's the big news from Libya this morning…

Muammar Gaddafi was killed on Thursday as Libya's new leaders declared they had overrun the last bastion of his long rule, sparking wild celebrations that eight months of war may finally be over…

"He was killed in an attack by the fighters. There is footage of that," the NTC's information minister, Mahmoud Shammam, told Reuters.

Well, that's one of them. All that's left now is track down Muammar Qaddafi, Moammar Kadafy, Muamar el-Qadaffi, Momar Gadhafi and Muaommer Qkuqaddaffiy.

Of course, it'd be great for them to get their hands on Mmmummoamer el Kwaddaeddfi, but let's face facts. That guy's too smart to get caught. He's long gone.
