Speaking between media interviews on her unannounced trip to Afghanistan on Thursday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joked about Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi’s death.
“We came, we saw, he died,” Clinton said while talking to a reporter before the beginning of an interview.

Is she finally talking about Vince Foster?
We came a month after her State Department want to give them $10 Million.
Whoa she always lets the jet lag do the talking...Caesar briefly looked up from his eternal torment and grimaced a knowing smile...
I thought she would be busy getting her broom gassed up for Halloween. I was wrong.
“While President Obama calls Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi a threat to his own people, just one month before attacking Libya the president asked Congress to increase U.S. aid for Qaddafi’s military to $1.7 million.
According to State Department figures, the money was earmarked to train Libyan military officers, improve its air force, secure its borders and to counter terrorism. “
What a horrible woman.
How very statesmanly of her. /s/
I cannot imagine Condoleeza Rice gloating like that.
And who is not president Bambi if not a threat to his own people?
in the video she takes credit for his death... what a *unt
Who would think this hag was an attractive candidate? For anything.
What do you mean *we*...??
Libya Is Off U.S. Terrorist List
By KIRIT RADIA (@KiritRadia_ABC)
May 15, 2006
After spending more than a quarter-century on the United States’ State Sponsor of Terrorism list, Libya has finally completed its journey back into the relative good graces of the U.S. government.
The State Department announced today that it would remove Libya from the list in 45 days as part of a three-pronged process of normalizing U.S.-Libyan relations, declaring that Libya was “out of the terrorism business.”
In a statement announcing the restoration of full diplomatic relations, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Libya was being rewarded for its “renunciation of terrorism and the excellent cooperation Libya has provided to the United States” in the war on terror. Libya has, in recent years, shared intelligence with the U.S. government that has helped track terrorist networks, including al Qaeda.
The re-establishment of diplomatic relations and the removal of sanctions is also seen as a reward for Libya’s surprising dismantling of its nuclear weapons program in 2003. The announcement comes at a time when the United States is looking to convince two other countries on the State Sponsor of Terrorism list — Iran and North Korea — that cooperating with international demands will ultimately lead to greater gains for their countries.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates that, when countries make a decision to adhere to international norms of behavior, they will reap concrete benefits,” Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs C. David Welch said.
The United States will also reopen its embassy in Tripoli, Libya’s capital, for the first time since the building was set aflame by a mob and closed in 1979. The United States withdrew its last ambassador in 1972, but withdrew its remaining personnel from the embassy after the attack. Less than two years later, Libyan diplomats were expelled from Washington.
Libya will also be removed from another list: countries not cooperating with the U.S. war on terror. Venezuela was added to this list today, with the State Department citing the country’s ties to Cuba and Iran. The decision means that the United States will ban arms sales to Venezuela, whose leader, Hugo Chavez, has been an outspoken critic of U.S. foreign policy.
Removal from these two lists will mean that Libya will no longer be subject to restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance, a ban on arms sales, certain export controls, and other financial sanctions.
The State Department sought to reassure those who remained unsure about the decision to re-establish diplomatic ties with Libya. “This was not a decision that we arrived at without carefully monitoring and assessing Libya’s behavior,” Welch said.
“The relevant U.S. government agencies conducted a thorough review of Libyan conduct since 2003,” he said, citing Libya’s having distanced itself from terrorist organizations with which it once had maintained relations.

The State Department said today’s announcement did not indicate the United States had resolved its other concerns about Libya.
“Instead, these steps will enable us to engage with Libyans more effectively on all issues,” Welch said. “In particular, we continue to call upon Libya to improve its human rights record and to address in good faith cases pending in U.S. courts with regard to its terrorist activities of the 1980s.”
And if she had, the Misledia would have gone ballistic.
I can only conclude, based on the blatant reversal of US policy, that it is the intent of the red communist sons of bitches in the Obama Administartion to destabilize all middle east countries cooperating with the US and put them in the hands of jihadists.
A billion dollars to kill one man. Could have done it for a lot less.
You know what they say. Hillary Clinton has always been the life of any party, with that great humor and gutteral laugh of hers. /s
There is something seriously wrong with her, that’s for sure. She’s a twisted sister.
And we're done here, folks. Last one out, hit the lights.
