MOSCOW, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that he was disgusted by TV coverage of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's death.
"Nearly all Gaddafi's family was killed, his corpse was shown by all TV channels around the world. It was impossible to watch without disgust," Interfax news agency quoted Putin as saying.
Speaking at a meeting of the Russian Popular Front in Moscow, Putin also said that none of the world religions would allow TV channels to broadcast the killing of a bloodstained but yet alive man.
"There is nothing good that all these scenes were demonstrated on the screens and millions of people, including children, saw that," Putin stressed.
He added that the media must take moral responsibility for the broadcasting.
Gaddafi, who was in power for 42 years in Libya, and his son Mutassim were captured alive last Thursday when forces of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) wrested full control of his hometown of Sirte. But both of them died in murky circumstances shortly after being seized by NTC fighters.
Then we screeched when they evicted us from their bases. Amazing disconnect. In this case, Putin is correct.
Interestingly, Putin used the exact same methodology to punish Georgia that US/NATO used to destroy our former Christian Serb allies against the Axis NAZI including the Islamicist NAZIs. The only difference being that Putin, being patient, took the time to establish that the Georgians did indeed murder peaceful Russian citizens, as opposed to the fabricated charges against the Serbs.
Televising the demise of Kadaffi and Hussein, those images, go some ways in preventing dictatorship abuse in the future. Let it be a lesson to those, that what comes around, goes around. Treat others...
Savage evil Russian barbarians must leave South Ossetia and Abkhazia or they must die! Putin unleashed his muslim Chechen animals on the innocent Christian civilians of Georgia! Putin is the one who supports evil mohammedan Chechen terrorists! Dhimmi Putin helped the Chechens build the biggest mosque in Europe! Death to Putin! Down with fascist Russia!
You made thirteen points, each of them correct.
Well done.
Russia’s savage genocidal occupiers must leave Georgia’s land or they must die!
Actually they are all BS anti-American communist lies! Get a clue chump! Nobody believes that Russia invaded Georgia!
Hyperventilate much?
Putin is right. Now tell me, who would want watching your back, Putin or Urkel Barack?
Brokeback pooty’s time is almost up. Russia must be smashed into pieces. The rabid Russian dogs showed in Georgia that they must be put down for the sake of humanity.
I will take that as a ‘yes’.
Putin and Obama are butt buddies and best comrades.
Kiss Russian ass much? Maybe you should go there and don’t come back if you love Russia so much.
How upside down is this world when we say Putin is correct?
The Lord can’t comeback soon enough for me....even if I don’t make it.
You seem angry.
Good luck with that, champ.
Just wait until NATO and the UN are doing police work here in the US, you'll learn to love 'em like the Serbs do.
Agree on both points.
You seem like one of those Russian bootlickers who always blames America first.
At least in Iraq, the Iraq people gave him a trail and hung him on THEIR OWN ACCORD speaks volumes.
Once people turn to animals, there really is no going back.
As they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
In this specific case, Putin is right on target.
Where was the disgust when Gaddafi killed all those people on Pan Am 103 and several more on the ground in Lockerbie, Scotland? He was a dictator who made his own bed and suffered the fate that usually befalls dictators.
