Al Qaeda terrorists to 'come up with the numbers' to take to the UN for the no-fly-zone that enabled those same butchers to hang Qaddafi loyalists in the streets, burn alive the Africans let in to work for decades but labeled mercenaries (wrongly) in MSM propaganda reporting.

That Qaddafi was on a 'rampage' to slaughter was every bit as much of a lie as the 'troops using Viagra!' lie Clinton still touted even after human rights observers and the U.S. investigation categorically stated - false. But those paid butchers did rape, mutilate and torture many, many women - Qaddafi supporters and African women and children alike. HRW begged attention for this - what did NATO do to stop it? Not one fucking thing.

Support this horror all you like, but stop lying about it.
