Qaddafi's Rule Over Says Obama, Time To Lay Down Arms In Libya

President Obama says it is time to transition to a democratic Libya. Speaking during his vacation at Martha?s Vinyard, Massachusetts President Obama told the press:

?Although it?s clear that Qaddafi?s rule is over, he still has the opportunity to reduce further bloodshed by explicitly relinquishing power to the people of Libya and calling for those forces that continue to fight to lay down their arms for the sake of Libya.

?As we move forward from this pivotal phase, the opposition should continue to take important steps to bring about a transition that is peaceful, inclusive and just. As the leadership of the TNC has made clear, the rights of all Libyans must be respected. True justice will not come from reprisals and violence; it will come from reconciliation and a Libya that allows its citizens to determine their own destiny.

?In that effort, the United States will be a friend and a partner. We will join with allies and partners to continue the work of safeguarding the people of Libya. As remaining regime elements menace parts of the country, I?ve directed my team to be in close contact with NATO as well as the United Nations to determine other steps that we can take. To deal with the humanitarian impact, we?re working to ensure that critical supplies reach those in need, particularly those who have been wounded.?

Isn't there a Jesus quote (in the Bible somewhere) about.. "you can judge a tree by its fruit" - and "a man by his WORKS"? (deeds and actions - not his 'words').

I rest my case!

Libiya, yet another place where civil war will probably be the next torment of the poeple. Like we have seen before, in Iraq, Afghanistan and so many other places where the great powers, hungry for their control over resources and people, have actec in a such an indiscriminate way. Our world is crumbling the UN remains voiceless and powerless to control the colective security issues. people die by the thousands, the rich are getting richer the poor poorer.... false propaganda by the mass media..

I thought cowboy Bush was the problem and now all the world loves Obama and the USA? Wholesale massacres of innocent civilians? Like Saddam Hussein using WMD against the Kurds killing thousands? Saddam killed millions with his wars on Iran and Kuwait, but pussy liberals would not act. They voted to use of force against Saddam and then bitched about it. Obama lies, Libya war will last days not weeks????? Its been months jerk.

Why this video has 138 views. Obama lies, thousands die. A mass murdering

constitutionally ineligible, Wall Street and Military/Industrial stooge, documented

crackhead cocksucking Chicago mafia pawn (yes he and ballet dancer Rahm Emanuel were lovers). WTF is he still talking out of both sides of his demonic face? I've gotta go...his lame rhetoric is putting me to sleep.
