Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared a laugh with a television news reporter moments after hearing deposed Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had been killed.
"We came, we saw, he died," she joked when told of news reports of Qaddafi's death by an aide in between formal interviews.
Clinton was in Tripoli earlier this week for talks with leaders of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC).
The reporter asked if Qaddafi's death had anything to do with her surprise visit to show support for the Libyan people.
"No," she replied, before rolling her eyes and saying "I'm sure it did" with a chuckle.
I’m imagining how the rest of the world is reacting to it.
I wonder how flippant arrogance from a stuck up woman goes down on the Arab street? Or anywhere in the world for that matter. She is really Mrs Chuckles lately. Does a wise cracking Sec. State advance or hinder our interests in the world?
For what it is worth, there is no evidence that Ceasar ever said anything like those words. During a triumph parade in Rome, an honor usually accorded a successful military leader, in this case celebrating his Gaullic conquest, one of the participants had a float with the legend VENI, VEDI, VICI which has been a Latin class staple for introducing the Latin past tense ever since.
Hillary's use of it here is insensitive, tasteless, boastful and inaccurate. Caesar took the field and undertook the perils of combat. He let others do the boasting for him. She sat back in Washington and sent in people whose culture and values she abhors to the "dirty work" for her. She is dispicable.
It’s Hillary, but your comment makes the wonderful if unintentional point that he has far more gravitas than her, even after ten years out of office. :)
Great point and well said.
Huuuh in my view , old fashion cowboys don’t do such murders ! Watch the reports !
This was a liberal-barbarian slaughter and a big lie with a fake U.N. mandate. Libtards are always hiding like cowards under the U.N. pathetic shelter...
In Gadafi’s case NATO worked hand in hand with some bunches of arabo-muslim ragheads....A nice alliance approved by Illary and her boss Barack H.O.
The old carpetbagger has big bucks in that bag....courtesy of USA taxpayers. Muslim payoff...Pretty much every muslim country has been paid by Obama and friends. Any doubt about his muslimness??
I think she was trying more to emulate Bill Murray in Ghostbusters, "We Came, We Saw, We Kicked Its A$$"
Just imagine what this hypocritical wench would have publicly said as a U.S. Senator if this had been done during the Bush Administration.
Good Post.
It’s when Hilary says “alea iacta est” that we relly need to start worrying.
That will be in about two years if we give her that chance.
“Libya will go to the Muslim Brotherhood just as Egypt has.”
Well said. The ultimate aim of the Muslim president Obama and his leftist minions is the continued rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, especially in Africa. Clearing out these dictators opens the gate wide for the Brotherhood, and Obama knows it.
African Christians, beware!! Look to the Coptic Christians plight in Egypt and be forwarned. Also African Jews (are there many even left?) are in the target zone, both groups being infidels in the eyes of the Islamists.
Democracy??? in the countries hosting the Muslim Brotherhood? - is this some kind of joke? Sadly, not.
Then there's this statement.....
Did you see the video of her attempted humiliation of Herman Cain in the meeting with Karzai?
Equally disturbing.
By then it will too late. Time to flee to Actium.
No I didn’t see that video. I think Herman Cain could hold his own very nicely if up against her though.
AND she positions the US as having a hand in it???
This is indicative of how far we have sunk as a nation.
This is NOT what America stands for.
FUHC
A better statement would have been...
“The US repeatedly implored him to step down and avoid violence and further bloodshed. He refused and now has been killed in the street. This outcome could have been avoided if all parties had acted in a more rational manner.”
Instead we have Obama congratulating Libya saying “You have won your revolution” and Hillary imitating Bill Murray.
Disgusting.
FUBO
FUHC

>Can you even imagine Condi Rice behaving in such a low brow fashion?<
I’ll go you one further. Can you, in your wildest imagination, imagine Madeline Albright acting in such a fashion? I certainly can’t.
Hillary Clinton is an embarrassment.
I sure could, when she was bombing the Serbs.
