'Wow!': Hillary Clinton reacts as she finds out about Gaddafi's death on BlackBerry
In a year that has already brought the death of America’s most-wanted terrorist, news of Muammar al-Gaddafi’s capture and death proves one can still shock Hillary Clinton.

Mrs Clinton was preparing for interviews in Kabul, Afghanistan, when top aide Huma Abedin handed her a BlackBerry with the first news of Muammar Gaddafi’s capture.

'Wow,' the secretary of state exclaims. ‘Unconfirmed reports about Gaddafi being captured.’

Earlier, Vice President Joe Biden said the Libyan people have now 'got a chance' with him gone.

And he said the Obama administration made the right decision in playing a secondary role to other NATO allies in the seven-month Libya campaign.

Arizona Senator and former presidential candidate John McCain called the Libyan dictator's death 'an end to the first phase of the Libyan revolution.'

From LA TIMES REPORT ...just in...

By Kim Geiger Washington Bureau

October 20, 2011, 10:21 a.m.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday when an aide handed her a phone with the news that deposed Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi was reportedly captured.

“Wow,” was her immediate response.

“Unconfirmed reports about Kadafi being captured,” she told the room of aides and television crews. Later reports revealed that the former Libyan strongman had been killed.

The reaction that followed reflects the skepticism that had developed over a months-long drama that saw multiple false reports of Kadafi’s capture.

“We’ve had a bunch of those before,” she said. “We’ve had, you know, have had him captured a couple of times.”

In an interview shortly after, Clinton discussed with NBC’s Mike Viqueira what Kadafi’s death could mean for Libyans.

“I think there’s a big sigh of relief,” she said. “The job is still daunting. But they won’t be quite as worried that they have to be constantly looking over their shoulder at him.”

OH WOW Video expresses SOS's indredulity of the Capture at:
