After Gaddafi overthrown, Romney calls for his overthrow

[Mikeystyle]

Following the overthrow of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney called on the Libyan people to take up arms and revolt against the longtime dictator. Romney said the former dictator’s removal would make it easy for him to be removed.

This was Romney’s strongest statement yet on the Libyan uprising. He previously expressed support for U.S. involvement in Libya yet attacked President Barack Obama for doing so. In July, Romney criticized Obama’s policy on Libya and said the U.S. should not help remove Gaddafi from power.

At a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Thursday, Romney said changing events in Libya forced him to alter his position on the issue.

“I know I’ve said the U.S. shouldn’t support Gaddafi removal, but that was back when he was still in charge. The fact that he’s no longer in charge, well that changes everything,” Romney said. “I’m calling for his ouster and look, he’s already gone. That’s the kind of bold leadership you can expect from a Mitt Romney administration.”

2. He was followed by Newt Gingrich calling for Gaddafi to be restored to power...

...so as not to allow President Obama to claim any credit.
