Clinton to Libya: 'Now is the time to stop this unacceptable bloodshed'
The Hill ^ | Feb. 21, 2011 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 02/21/2011 7:19:02 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned the violence in Libya on Monday amid reports that dictator Moammar Gadhafi had fled the country.

Soon after, Gadhafi appeared on state TV to say that he hadn't gone anywhere. "Don't believe those misleading dog stations," he said.

"The world is watching the situation in Libya with alarm," Clinton said in a statement. "We join the international community in strongly condemning the violence in Libya. Our thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives have been lost, and with their loved ones."

Human-rights groups have reported hundreds of Libyans being killed by snipers, artillery, helicopter gunships, hammers and swords being used against peaceful demonstrators, as well as tanks crushing protesters and women and children dying by jumping into a Benghazi river in an effort to escape the onslaught.

"The government of Libya has a responsibility to respect the universal rights of the people, including the right to free expression and assembly," Clinton said. "Now is the time to stop this unacceptable bloodshed. We are working urgently with friends and partners around the world to convey this message to the Libyan government."

Moammar Gadhafi is one of the Leftwingtards' favorite Socialist dictators. The MSM loves him.

Why is the Hildabeast turning on her buddy?

I forget. How do Muslims view women? Especially women who tell them what to do.

So I guess if Republicans start rioting all over the USA, Barry Hussein and his socialist crook sex pervert degenerate comrades will hop a plane to Venezuela rather than resort to violence?

The riots here should have started yesterday

Well, it's a fine game of dominoes over there, and it looks like the WH is playing catch-up once again.

Not that there's much that the US can actually do.... but one would think the WH would want to look just a tad bit more on the ball.

Clueless. Absolutely clueless.

"We join the world . . . "

Way to show courageous leadership USA. Bush would have screwed things up by actually doing something. Remember how Reagan messed up our relations with Libya. Lucky we have an administration that understands the importance of anti American foreign regimes. Add anti American domestic administrations.

Weak tea, using the SOS. Perhaps the TOTUS was experiencing a malfunction.
