Protesters hit by hail of gunfire in Libya march



BENGHAZI, Libya – Protesters demanding Moammar Gadhafi's ouster came under a hail of bullets Friday when pro-regime militiamen opened fire to stop the first significant anti-government marches in days in the Libyan capital. The Libyan leader, speaking from the ramparts of a historic Tripoli fort, told supporters to prepare to defend the nation.

Witnesses reported multiple deaths from gunmen on rooftops and in the streets shooting at crowds with automatic weapons and even an anti-aircraft gun.

"It was really like we are dogs," one man who was marching from Tripoli's eastern Tajoura district told The Associated Press. He added that many people were shot in the head, with seven people within 10 yards (meters) of him cut down in the first wave.

and you still haven't explained why it is a bad thing he doesn't have Chemical Weapons at his disposal to use on the protestors.


Or why Obama gave him millions of dollars last year...



Just trying to score cheap points off of a good bipartisan policy.

I don't even know what to begin to say to that.

People are being gunned down in the streets and you call it "good bipartisan policy".

And you still have not explained why the bipartisan deal to remove them from Gadaffi upsets you so much.


and you completely ignore that Obama and the Democrats gave Mumar millions of dollars last year.

Let's see, where do I start with what upsets me?

How about with Uncle Ronnie who told us of the evils of Libya.

How about with Pan Am Flight 103, which Dubya decided wasn't really terrorism.

Do I need to go on or are you getting the idea?

And that doesn't bother you.

But Bush getting the chemical weapons away from Gadaffi upsets you terribly.

Hard to tell why.

I don't remember any proof of those programs.

Not to worry though, I'm sure that proof will turn up.

Dick Cheney has assured me we eventually are going to find those WMD's in Iraq too.

Maybe you should sit down, youre not making any sense. Have you had your blood pressure checked lately?

Edited to add, I guess you missed the sarcasm.

Are you talking to Lucky?

Because that is what it says in the right hand corner.

But I suspect it was directed at me.

Which then raises the question of how someone with more than 10,000 posts on this site cannot figure out how to use the quote feature and direct his comments to the person he is responding to.

You mind showing proof of these "millions of Dollars" since in my search, there is nothing, so, like liberals on this board who do document claims, please do so.

I'm just waiting for the proof that you conservatives never seem able to supply.

But I'm very patient, so you and Sanity can take your time.

Sure

"The Obama administration has provided aid to the Libyan military, though in amounts that pale next to that provided to Egypt and Israel and other Mideast allies, increasing its request in the 2012 budget for military financing from $150,000 in fiscal year 2011 to $250,000. In 2010, the State Department requested $350,000 in International Military Education and Training funding for Libya to "support education and training of Libyan security forces, creating vital linkages with Libyan officers after a 35-year break in contact," according to a Congressional Research Service report.

That same year, the administration also requested Foreign Military Financing assistance for Libya for the first time, with the goal of providing assistance to the Libyan Air Force in developing its air transport capabilities and to the Libyan Coast Guard in improving its coastal patrol and search and rescue operations. In 2009, the State Department gave Libya $500,000 for higher education, $300,000 for human rights, $500,000 for good governance and $200,000 for civil society programs. "

Wrong proof.

We were talking about Libya's WMD program, which I'm told Dubya forced them to abandon.

But interestingly enough I have never seen any realistic proof  that it ever existed to the point of being any type of threat.

Edited to add:

But while we are on the subject, your link is laughable.

Three hundred and fifty thousand?

The House Republicans would piss that away in 10 minutes and then turn around and claim fiscal responsibility.

Nothing tyrannical about it, Rule. Dubya would have approved of what shouldn't have been called 'gunfire' here but, more correctly, 'enhanced communication techniques'.
