Obama says Kadhafi must 'leave now': WHouse

President Barack Obama called on Moamer Kadhafi to "leave now," declaring that the Libyan leader had lost his right to rule after attacking his own people to put down a popular uprising.

Obama's most direct demand yet that Kadhafi step down was made in a telephone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to coordinate their response to the crisis, the White House said.

"The president stated that when a leader?s only means of staying in power is to use mass violence against his own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now," it said.

Hours later, the UN Security Council voted unanimously to order an investigation into crimes against humanity, an arms embargo and travel bans and asset freezes targeting Kadhafi, his family and inner circle.

The resolution cited "gross and systematic violation of human rights, including the repression of peaceful demonstrators" and the incitement to hostility and violence against "from the highest levels of the Libyan government."

The UN resolution stopped short of demanding Kadhafi's removal from power, something that Obama had also refrained from doing while US citizens were being evacuated from Libya.

But the president and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sharply changed tact Saturday in back-to-back statements.

"Moammar Qadhafi has lost the confidence of his people and he should go without further bloodshed and violence," Clinton said, using an alternate spelling for Kadhafi.

"The Libyan people deserve a government that is responsive to their aspirations and that protects their universally recognized human rights."

The diplomatic moves came as Kadhafi hunkered down in Tripoli for what many feared would be a bloody showdown with rebels that have taken control of large areas of the oil-rich North African country.

The Libyan leader's son, Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, earlier told Al-Arabiya television that the crisis had "opened the doors to a civil war."

As the impasse deepened, thousands of foreign workers were trying to flee the country and embassies closed their doors. The United Nations estimates that more than 1,000 civilians have been killed so far.

The White House said Obama and Merkel "discussed appropriate and effective ways for the international community to respond."

"The president welcomed ongoing efforts by our allies and partners, including at the United Nations and by the European Union, to develop and implement strong measures," the statement read.

On Friday, Obama announced unilateral sanctions targeting Kadhafi and his inner circle in a move intended to encourage defections and peel away loyalists defending the Libyan's 42-year rule.

These included orders to seize Kadhafi family assets in the United States, suspend military sales, and travel restrictions targeting regime officials.

Clinton said she had signed an order revoking the US visas of Libyan officials and others linked to the violence against civilians. She said new visas would be denied as a matter of policy.

The US intelligence agencies, meanwhile, were ordered to gather information on atrocities that could be used as evidence, and the US financial system was told to watch out for movements of funds from Libya.

"We are moving quickly on a series of steps to hold the Libyan government accountable for its violation of human rights and to mobilize a strong response from the international community," Clinton said.

"Consistent with the president's guidance, we will continue to look at the full range of options to hold the Libyan government accountable and support the Libyan people," she said.

A leading Republican, Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the sanctions announced Friday were "a positive first step."

But she said stronger penalties were needed to hold the Kadhafi regime accountable for "its heinous crimes and to prevent further violence against the Libyan people."

The Florida congresswoman said additional US and international measures should include a no-fly zone, a comprehensive arms embargo, a travel ban, suspension of all contract and assistance that benefit the regime, and restrictions on foreign investment.

The US embassy in Tripoli, which opened in 2006, was closed on Friday for security reasons and all diplomatic personnel withdrawn from the country.

But this exchange provides a crude but vivid reminder of the virtual impossibility of penetrating deeply held beliefs. As reader Skippy noted, The WBC is a prime example of how hard it is to engage in any reasonable discussion with BELIEVERS of any stripe, mental heroin methinks. I wonder how many realize the fight is just starting, warming up, and unprepared for the acts that may be used against them.

The USSA Empire ends now:

" This matters because, following the second convulsive blow, America’s global interests are under threat on a scale never before seen. Since 1956, when Secretary of State John Foster Dulles pulled the plug on Britain and France over Suez, the Arab world has been a US domain. At first, there were promises that it would tolerate independence and self-determination. But this did not last long; America chose to govern through brutal and corrupt dictators, supplied with arms, military training and advice from Washington.

The momentous importance of the last few weeks is that this profitable, though morally bankrupt, arrangement appears to be coming to an end. One of the choicest ironies of the bloody and macabre death throes of the regime in Libya is that Colonel Gaddafi would have been wiser to have stayed out of the US sphere of influence. When he joined forces with George Bush and Tony Blair five years ago, the ageing dictator was leaping on to a bandwagon that was about to grind to a halt. In Washington, President Obama has not been stressing this aspect of affairs. Instead, after hesitation, he has presented the recent uprisings as democratic and even pro-American, indeed a triumph for the latest methods of Western communication such as Twitter and Facebook. Many sympathetic commentators have therefore claimed that the Arab revolutions bear comparison with the 1989 uprising of the peoples of Eastern Europe against Soviet tyranny."

It was never on 'course'. Note the 5/6's human clause and the fight for monarchy type rule and the fight against including the Bill of Rights.

During the Revolution 1770 -1785, there was also an all out war of Public v Private Banking.

Public won barely and we've been in a running battle since. Every POTUS shot/shot at, and Aaron Burr by Hamilton-a monarchist- was against Private Banking.

And Private Banking MUST have a Slave Caste for their Rentier Economy. Which is why Strikes are feared like the devil fears the truth. ;}

The discovery of oil merely raised the stakes and delayed the inevitable.

Here it comes:

" But really: 20 people mowed down in protests, and this is a "professional and restrained" response? Recall the cries of condemnation that rightly greeted the attack on protestors during the December elections in Belarus. There, government thugs charged unarmed demonstrators and beat them. For this, and for repressions that in no way surpassed anything seen in Iraq daily, Belarus was hit with new sanctions. Yet in Iraq, a corrupt regime shoots down 20 citizens in a blood-and-iron crackdown; and they are praised by the imperial progressives along the Potomac for their restraint.

One of who. Describe who you think I am, or does that limit you?

Here let me help on who 'one of those' is.

We live on Planet Hell. The Top 50 000 control the wealth. Corporations to further the wealth/power are killing the planet.

Religions are used to keep the masses in stupor.

See? Try that...as one of those...cause yes, looking to stop your masters...I am one of those. 8D

"this intriguing historical document recently posted at Armagideon Time:

"We demand the guarantee of collective bargaining for labor. We demand a just, efficient, impartial administration of the National Labor Relations Act. We demand the guarantee of a floor under wages and a ceiling over hours for all who labor, skilled and unskilled, organized and unorganized.

"Likewise, we demand the guarantee of unemployment insurance. We demand social security, old-age pensions, care of the aged, the blind, the sick and dependent children.

"We demand the guarantee of Federal work relief for all those not employed by private industry; but we want a rapid reconstruction of our system of free private enterprise to the end that every American shall have a full share of our good life through the secure tenure of a real American job.

And who is the socialist Muslim Commie radical freeloader making these terroristic demands from our God-given free-market paradise?

It is, of course, the Republican nominee for president in 1940..."=chris floyd

Your lack of History ed limits you, A K. But you will learn history. I promise. ;}

O NONNONONO no.

Stop now. Stop consuming.

That will bring down this hellatious system faster than you can say 'Mubarak'.

Which brings us full circle. The Top 50 000 desperate to keep the worker bees from getting together to demand their rights and...wait for it...

STRIKE
