This woman is sick. This is the same woman who laughed when saying "we came, we saw, he died", after the illegal bombing and regime change in Libya. Madeleine Albright, Condolezza Rice, Hillary Clinton, war criminal psychopaths. All Secretaries of State of the United States of America, land of the enslaved and home of the psychopathic maniacs.
And it extends into the White House, ya, right to the top. They're all fucking crazy. Their view of the world and humanity, however reached, is beyond the pale.
Here she is in 2007 laughing again at the debates about a war resolution with Iran.
We have a crazy woman as Secretary of State, chosen by the Nobel Peace Prize War is Good President Obama.
And we're supposed to vote FOR any of these people? I want to vote against them.

I've had enough.
There is no lessor of two evils at this point. None. The only choice if one has a conscience and cares about this country and the world is to stop participating in this evil fraud called American democracy and work to create something better.
You pulled my chain again Big Al
We came, we saw, he died .... cackle, cackle, cackle.
What a diplomat, huh. Goes well with the whole scenario of regime change under the guise of a no fly zone / humanitarian intervention.
There are some strange and conflicting reports out about who really killed Quadaffi. Separate news media reports have named two different Libyan individuals, one of whom has been reported to have died recently and somewhat mysteriously in a hospital in France, at a time coinciding closely with the death of Ambassador Stevens. Another report claims that Quadaffi was was killed by a French agent on behalf of Sarkozy.
The ambassador had noted in his diary that he had been concerned about security in Benghazi for several months prior to his death. He was not in a "consulate" not even in a compound, but in a villa.
In searching trying to find more info I ran across a very ugly video, on a rather ugly blog which showed men pulling what appeared to be Ambassador Stevens out of that place. It is apparent from their behavior that these people were not there to rescue him. It has also been reported that he had been dragged through the streets and there are a few photos floating around the Internet that suggest that this could be true.
Very strange. The security situation was known to the ambassador's bosses at State.
The attack on the ambassador's villa was not a reaction to some third rate anti-Muslim film on YouTube but it was an attack planned in advance. Blame has been placed on various groups. I would guess that the real perpetrators were members of the Green Resistance, supporters of Quadaffi. The powers that be would rather that not be heard. After all we drove out "an evil dictator" and liberated the Libyan people and they should be grateful to us. That's the line of BS that establishment media repeats and the foolable sheep bow and baa.
Libya had been one of the most prosperous countries in Africa. No longer. I am curious as to what happened to the country's assets? It's gold? Where did they end up?
Here are some links which show what Libya has become post Quadaffi.

Is Libya Cracking Up?
Amnesty International - Libya: Rule of Law or Rule of Militias?
And a video:
That's what I've read also, the Green Resistance.
The lying was either to keep that quiet or to cover up western and/or Israeli involvement. Almost seemed to me like the Ambassador was a sacrificial lamb.
sadly "A sacrificial lamb" sounds right
Yes it could well be a false flag op, a pretext to get the US military, special ops, CIA, JSOC, etc. more involved in Africa. The Chinese are there in large numbers as civilians. We will stir the shit, create instability and then attempt to move in with puppet regimes in key countries. Cony is being used to justify establishing a presence in Uganda where a major oil field has been discovered within the past few years.
All these military adventures and where is congress? I guess since we have a president in charge now who acts like a king we can dismiss all of them. Greenwald has some wise words about this in his 3 October column in The Guardian. Some good comments follow.
The Repubs could never get away with this. That's why Obama is a shoe in for re-election.
curious
I'm not sure I'm following the thread of your thinking here. It's impossible for me to get too worked up over his death. When he inserted himself in the world of international terrorism by specifically funding the bombing of Lockerbie, he proved himself to be nothing more than another in a long line of tinpot despots. He was a 2 bit dictator who tortured his political enemies in his secret prisons, and stole his country's money. I think that the issue of our own imperialistic failures can and should be kept separate from those of other despotic regimes. The fact that we do things worng cannot be an excuse to overlook the abuses of dictators like Assad and Quadiffi. Sorry, just cannot get myself to give a flip about his death.
What abuses compared to those of our leaders?
Actually the article isn't about Gaddafi, I just brought up Clinton's earlier cackling about how he was killed. What this is about is lies and war with Iran and warmongering and a psychopathy that doesn't give a shit about the regular people who are killed and hurt in war. I don't care anymore about Gaddafi than I do about Bush, or Obama. How many did Bush kill? How many has Obama killed? To me, it's all relative. The US has the largest prison population in the world, cops galore with tanks and drones, executive assassinations, torture. The rich in this country have stole all the money too. Exactly what is an evil dictator compared to the United States of genocide and slavery. What this article about is a war with Iran and how those that lead us are psychopaths when it comes to war and sanctions and how they affect the little people.. Gaddafi was crazy too, so was Sarkozy and so are many of the so called leaders of countries.
How many millions of people
became the victims of the policies of LBJ and Nixon!
But hey, most of them were just commies, and chinks - so who gives shit, a flip of the wrist "collateral damage". We're the good guys just trying to bring them freedom and democracy and the American way of life.
The game has been played for decades in a quest for resources, markets, cheap labor and hegemony. Sometimes people just get our way and try to resist. "Terrorists" is now the convenient term for them. It's broad definition is much easier to apply than the worn out "Commie" bogeyman.
Latin America in the 70's. Pinochet, our man. The Shah, our man in the 50's, 60's and 70's so US and British oil companies could exploit Iran's resources. Two regime changes in Iraq during the 60's basically for the same reason, fear that they would nationalize their oil.
Saddam assisted and was our good buddy back then beginning his rise to power. He invaded Iran and we were pleased. Millions dead.
Eventually he outlived his usefulness to us and tried to have things his way. He became another "evil dictator" and we got rid of him. We fixed the facts around the policy and "shock and awe" was delivered. How many dead? Another country destroyed but the oil companies are back.
And Indonesia and many more ... and on and on it goes, now trying to check another one off the neocon hit-list. Syria the latest victim is in the process of being destroyed. The neocons are smiling.
".... warmongering and a psychopathy that doesn't give a shit about the regular people who are killed and hurt in war."
So true, unless the victims are ours.
At least we have the best propaganda machine the the most foolable sheep.
That propaganda is mighty powerful isn't Traveler.
Even those who think they aren't affected are affected. That shows clearly with the Libya and Syria situations. Well, we get it. Lots of others too. But the propagandists are good and more powerfull all the time relative to controlling the media and the message.
That's the litany, alright
And you're just hitting the high points. Here is something to consider: that classic photo of a torture session at abu ghraib, the one with the outstretched arms, the hood, and wires trailing down? That wasn't the result of some rambunctious and imaginative bad apples. No, the photo depicts features characteristic of American torture, torture developed since the 50's with the assistance of academics. It features sensory deprivation, stress positions, humiliation. Also uniquely American in style is breakdown of the identity through such means as sleep deprivation, manipulation of feeding, and so much more. What Bradley Manning endured was developed by the CIA in part through funding to horrendous experiments by academics. Like the crimes traveler catalogs, the evolution of American torture spans decades, but nobody ever talks about it. The USG has developed and inflicted a style of torture over several decades. I wish people would consider the significance of that fact. I wish somehow that could become real to people as they daydream about freedom, democracy, and respect for individual rights.
Oh, and one number to throw out there
Four million Iraqi refugees. No one ever mentions those four million people. How many people are even vaguely aware of them? And scarcely a talking head on television blushes at discussing Iraq's move toward democracy. Four million people.

I sort of understand what you're saying, however, I don't think we are going to agree that Sarkozy, Quadaffi and Bush II are all equal. Sorry, I just don't see the US as being in the same league as North Korea or Libya. Not trying to stir up anything so I'll just see my way out of this conversation. Take care.
Good question.
Their motives and methods are different, but still too many people are hurt and not just in the immediate areas.
