ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — The White House Tuesday offered its condolences to the victims of "appalling violence" during the crackdown on protesters in Libya, President Barack Obama's spokesman said.

"We offer our condolences to the families of the victims of Libya and this appalling violence," spokesman Jay Carney told reporters, reiterating US condemnation of the crackdown.

Carney also said he did not anticipate Obama immediately making a public statement on the situation, but that his top diplomat, Hillary Clinton, would speak to the violence at 2:30 pm (1930 GMT).

On Monday, Clinton called on Libya to end "unacceptable bloodshed" and said Washington was working urgently with its partners to make its message clear to Kadhafi's teetering government.

Clinton reacted after Libyan residents described a "massacre" of violent suppression rocking Libyan cities, and as reports emerged of demonstrators being gunned down on the streets.

It’s amazing to me. This boy President of yours is an absolute disgrace.

We are being told a very tame story about what is happening in Libya, mainly because their isn’t a media presence there.

What the hired mercenaries are doing out there is beyond what most people can comprehend. Seriously barbaric, like thousands of Al Zarqawi’s have been unleashed at once.

Obama is like the idiot on the school sports team reserves bench, waiting for everyone else to do the hard work and then at the end taking credit and acting like he is a man with authority and his finger on the pulse of the world.

Only this ‘hard work’ is innocent civilians, including women and children being literally hacked to death, burnt to death, raped and bombed by their own air force. The horror of what is happening there is just appalling and upsetting.

And he offers condolences? You can take your condolences and shove them up your ass you piece of shit.
