MANAGUA, Nicaragua – Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega says he has telephoned Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to express his solidarity.

Ortega says he has called several times this week because Gadhafi "is again waging a great battle" to defend the unity of his nation.

Human rights groups say more than 200 people have died as Libyan security forces crack down on protesters.

Ortega has long been an ally of the Libyan leader, based in part on a shared distrust of the United States.

1. D.O . is a dick.

What else is there to say.

2. What is it with Castro, Chavez, Ortega...

...that seem to compel them to declare personal brotherly solidarity with some of the worlds most vile totalitarians?

Or is this story just a mistranslation or the product of some right wing conspiracy?

Are the DU Chavista's finding common cause with Gadhafi? Where do the Chavez cheerleaders stand in all of this?

3. the enemy of my enemy syndrome always coupled with anti-US rhetoric

and authoritarians need to stick together. I imagine there is concern that these protests will spread to other regions if you know what I mean.

4. Ortega is a sick, evil fuck

murdering mass numbers of demonstrators in the streets with military aircraft in order to maintain power is ok with this clown?
