"We came, we saw, he died" (from CBS News Website)








Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sits down for six consecutive television interviews in Kabul, Afghanistan October 20, 2011


        "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared a laugh with a television news reporter moments after hearing deposed Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had been killed.

      
      "We came, we saw, he died," she joked when told of news reports of Qaddafi's death by an aide in between formal interviews."


NOTE:  Notwithstanding the fact that few, if any, will lament Muammar Qaddafi's passing, lament isn't a strong enough word for what I feel about Secretary Clinton's unwitty and contemptible remark.  I find it surprising that such an ostentatiously (when the occasion suits her) professed Christian would say this, but it's a strange world we're living in.  


I suppose he had no reasonable expectation of different, more humane, treatment.

But seeing our senior U.S. diplomat adding to the mosh pit madness is repellent.
