The news comes shortly after NTC forces took control of Gaddafi's home town of Sirte. Earlier, on Tuesday, during her visit to Libya, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she hoped Muammar Gaddafi would be captured or killed.

This administration and it's allies seems to be pretty good at finding and killing people.

CFR.org - Iraq: The Way Forward—A Conversation with General Wesley Clark
He said, "We're in a new situation." He said: "We've got a window of opportunity. It may be five years, it may be ten years, it may be 15 years; we don't know, but we can use U.S. military force with impunity. The Soviets cannot intervene against us. And we can clean up these old Soviet client states in the region who've caused so much trouble in the past." I thought oh, okay. I was a one-star. I'm listening, you know. I'm taking. I'm listening to the guidance coming out a very important person at the Pentagon and his thinking about this. And I filed it away. It was in the age, in the period when we'd gone past the balance of terror and the balance of forces and deterrents. All of us, I think, who were thinking about national strategy were looking for a new strategic, grand strategic concept. This was one of the grand strategic concepts. And it surfaced again when I went through the Pentagon about six weeks after 9/11.
It's a long way of answering your question, Peter. Six weeks after 9/11, I went down to the office of one of the joint staff generals, and he said, sir -- I said you told me a couple -- three weeks ago we're going to invade Iraq. And that didn't make any sense. Are we still invading Iraq? By this time, we were bombing in Afghanistan.
He said, "Oh, it's worse than that," he said. He held up a piece of paper. He said, "This is a memo that says, you know, all the countries on the target list; it's a five-year campaign plan, and it's Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Libya, Sudan and Somalia."
TEHRAN, Iran – In the ongoing political skirmishes among Iran's leadership, it was the equivalent of bringing out the heavy ammunition: The country's most powerful figure warning that the post of elected president could someday be scrapped. Although no overhauls appear on the immediate horizon after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comment -- he spoke only vaguely about possibilities in the "distant future" -- the mere mention of eliminating Iran's highest elected office shows the severity and scope of the power struggle between Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I agree, the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the next logical target. He has been outspoken about the lies and aggression of the US.
As a disclaimer, I am not anti-American. I am a real American as opposed to the false American representation of international banksters, Wall Street mobsters, and war-machine imperialists.

Ahmadinejad is the next. Write it down!!
Interesting that right after the bogus "conspiracy plot" to kill the Saudi ambassador in Washington, the US MSM started to report that the Iranian Ayatollah is about to kick Ahmadinejad out of the government... Hmmmmm
