US says Gadhafi troops issued Viagra, raping victims
msnbc ^ | 4/27/2011 | Louis Charbonneau/Reuters

The U.S. envoy to the United Nations told the Security Council Thursday that troops loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi were increasingly engaging in sexual violence and some had been issued the impotency drug Viagra, diplomats said.

Several U.N. diplomats who attended a closed-door Security Council meeting on Libya told Reuters that U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice raised the Viagra issue in the context of increasing reports of sexual violence by Gadhafi's troops.

"Rice raised that in the meeting but no one responded," a diplomat said on condition of anonymity. The allegation was first reported by a British newspaper.

Pfizer Inc.'s drug Viagra is used to treat impotence.

Diplomats said if it were true that Gadhafi's troops were being issued Viagra, it could indicate they were being encouraged by their commanders to engage in rape to terrorize the population in areas that have supported the rebels. That would constitute a war crime.

no offense, but this sound like a hoax to me. Its just too perfect. Its an attempt to pile on and the example used is just silly. Can’t they write a simple story that his solders were engaging in rape. Including the Viagra into the story just make me think theres something wrong with this story

So armies never otherwise use rape as a tactic, is this what we’re being told?

Obama made us look like fools by going in so now they are trying to create some moral justification for staying the course.

AND, they’ve been T-P-ing mosques with gov’t provided rolls, and worse yet, issued aluminum pie tins and aerosol cans of whipped cream, in order to smash pies in rebels’ faces. Thanks tobyhill.

Armies have been known to use rape as a tactic but usually they can accomplish that mission without Viagra.
