WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will speak from the White House Rose Garden on Thursday afternoon about the killing of Moammar Gadhafi.
Obama’s remarks are scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT. U.S. officials have yet to say anything publicly about Gadhafi’s death, though one U.S. official said Libya’s government informed the United States earlier in the day.
Gadhafi was killed in his hometown of Sirte.
His death comes seven months after the U.S. and NATO launched a bombing campaign in Libya to protect civilians from attacks by forces loyal to the longtime leader. While the U.S. initially took the lead in the campaign, it eventually played a secondary role to other NATO allies.

Posted on October 21, 2011 at 8:35pmWe know he will take credit even though Nato denies they knew he was on the convoy. Like I believe anything Nato has to say. They knew. He was a very bad man as were most of the ousted leaders during this spring revolution. Now what do we have to replace the leaders? A bunch of misfits running around and the only organized factions waiting in the wings are the brotherhood and Iran.

Posted on October 20, 2011 at 6:03pmMr. Obama, you said today “the last major regime strongholds…fallen”. So what are we doing in Uganda? Are they a huge US threat? Sleep well with all that Peace Prize money under your pillow, you National disgrace.

Posted on October 20, 2011 at 2:57pm“The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted,” Obama said from the White House Rose Garden. “And with this enormous promise, the ( American people can move forwards )”.
Report Post »Yea, he really didn‘t say those last five words I’m just hoping for the day that Obamas “dark shadow of tyranny” ( and all globalist governance’s) will be relegated to the annals of American history. that will be a day worth commemorating.

Frankly Obama, STFU ! Said BetterDays to Obama in Babylon, rise and fall.
Somehow I see Obama reading his TelePrompTer, speaking in his normal “ Captian Kirk ” type cadence, and taking full credit for Quaddifi’s demise. He’ll then say “ pass this bill” sixteen or forty times, swipe the fly’s off his mouth once ( swallowing six, spewing out fifty seven) and pose in a positive imperal manner. All the while wondering where the adulation and thunderous appaluse has gotten off to when he blames Bush, the republicans, the tea party, and ( internally) GOD for every problem the Universe has ever experienced, just another day in the life of Lucifers Hammer, Obama.

Posted on October 20, 2011 at 4:52pm“I support” you’re just the kind of person that would vote for Cain and think things would be better. Hes a racist just like Obama, except that he hates all Muslims. All people are created by God and should not be treated like dirt because of the color of their skin or where they are from.
My step father is from Iraq and became an American almost thirty years ago. He is a much better person that you or McCain. BTW….I’m from Georgia, where my family has lived for generations. People in the south are not the racists progressive liberals would have you believe!

Posted on October 20, 2011 at 2:30pmI did not bother to read the above article because I DO NOT CARE WHAT OBAMA FEELS ABOUT THE DEATH OF THIS MAN OR ANY MAN. He glorifies himself every chance he gets. He has lost his credibility as a leader.

Report Post »who are we to speak or act for Their people?
- we had our own civil war, who helped us out? who came in and stopped our civil war and replaced our leaders with new ones? oh?! we did it ourselves? The People? wow.. hmm maybe we should pay them the same respect others paid us to solve our own problems… all we do is erase potential heros from their history… who are their Heros who have overthrown tyranny? oh? we will never know now… if they can’t do it themselves then we are forever in a war with that country. it will NEVER end. there will always be someone rising up to control the People unless the People don’t let themselves be controlled.

Posted on October 20, 2011 at 4:59pmKB…I like you! A genuine American! The constitution doesn’t allow us to go around the world deciding who should live and who should die! Murdering nations leaders. Murdering Americans without a fair trial. I honestly believe he is creating chaos to usher in One World Order.
Wonder who will give an apology tour for all of Obamas murderous sins….
Our president is committing serious crimes for which he MUST stand trial. He has brought such shame to our nation.
What cha bet I’m on the “No Fly” list? lol

Posted on October 20, 2011 at 2:17pmI was just reading Cain’s remarks about Jesus…people should NOT use Jesus for political gain! I can’t stand this man, past head of the federal reserve. Hes also a racist and full of hate that would further divide this nation. In that srticle he was attacked by the left and one wrote about how liberals are against the death penalty while conservatives generally support it.
Well I’m VERY conservative and I am very much against the death penalty! To my point though, talk about talking out of both sides of their mouth! I DO NOT support my president! He is working his way around the middle east murdering their leaders and supporting the terrorists that are taking over these nations!
In Libya the terrorists that are taking over with our presidents blessing are rounding up blacks and commiting genocide on them!
The left wants me to hear what they have to say? They need to end the BS double talk and call Obama what he is, a murderer!
I did not support the American terrorits over there that Obama murdered, but I will support their right to a fair trial with my dying breath!
Remember, you may support killing them, but when our president decides to kill you or your family you will care!
How would you feel if it was our president that was murdered by another nation? Our president IS killing American citizens, so maybe they will feel like they need to kill him? Again, I do not support our president, but he is a human and should not be murdered by anyone!

Report Post »My oh my, you are a progressive liberal infiltrating this board. How can I tell? Because a true conservative would not use the words “racist” and “Jesus” in the same sentence. YOUR HEART IS IN THE WRONG PLACE. You’d better be on your knees asking Jesus for guidance as it sounds to me like you have a lot of hate in your own heart. So sad for you.
Susan
Posted on October 20, 2011 at 4:45pm“I support”….you DO NOT know anything, I voted for Bush! AND…YOU just used Jesus and racist in the same sentence! (rolling eyes)
Any God fearing conservative would never support a president going around the world murdering other nations leaders and American citizens without a trial.
If you think Jesus supports such behavior, lets just say the bibe warns us about people that that speak like you!
JB…..I think a slap across Obamas face would feel pretty good, but locking the prison door behind him would feel much better!
At least Bush gave Sadam his day in court. With this president, America is becoming the terrorists, and that breaks my heart.
BTW “I support” The hate is in Obamas heart, and yours if you support our murdering president!
