In other words, who is in charge, it is still Gaddafi or the rebels?

It only takes a computer to make an announcement, probably the doc that keeps up all the bogus reporting, good Iranian training.

Interim government of what? The bin Laden neighborhood of Benghazi? Usually those who set up a government do so to govern the areas over which they have control.

But, hey... why confuse them with facts?

The damned fools trying to install this clown don’t realize that they have a tiger by the tail with Al Qaeda already ahead of them on the ground.

Don’t know. But Hillary was sure busy courting this guy.

This is the SAME administration that didn’t blink an eye when Libya was put on the U.N Human Rights Council.

The very same Council that singled out the U.S for being a Human Rights abuser.
The duplicity and outright ceeding of American sovereignty rights is astounding.

Susan Rice didn’t blink an eye at THAT turn of events.

I STILL agree with REAGAN “get us out of the U.N”. At least HE refused to pay their lousey dues.

Yeah, Hitler tried it during the Beer Hall Putsch. Had his people start announcing around the city that he had been made chancellor and then tried to force the elder statesmen to give him the job. Didn’t work.
