Merely Tweeted, “Apologists Lied About Libyan Reforms…” Edition

Highlights, lowlights, links, and fecklessness as the Libya bloodbath continues apace, from the Mere Rhetoric Twitter stream:

Lee Smith quotes @PJCrowley refusing to call Qaddafi “dictator.” A’jad, Qaddafi – what IS IT with Obama admin? http://is.gd/zGRQzx

How awesome is it that, as of this very moment, Libya sits in judgment of Israel on the venomous UN Human Rights Council? Answer: very.

Procedural question: as a member, can Libya veto any UN Human Rights Council action against it?

So has Libya condemned itself yet on the UN Human Rights Council, seeing how it’s a sitting member?

Hey Human Rights Watch, any comment re Whitson’s whitewash of him? | RT @michaeljtotten: Everyone who ever described Seif as democrat and reformer should be embarrassed

MT @rebutantiIsrael: Qaddafi’s thugs have now killed 85 Libyans. Same Qaddafi that NYT gave oped to call for end of Israel.

Hezbollah-controlled Lebanese rez got 14/15 UNSC backing to condemn democratic Israel. The “international community” at its best

Crisis averted | RT @politico: White House pursues sanctions on Libya http://is.gd/c0HgCd

Why the rush? | RT @REUTERSFLASH: U.N. Security Council to hold closed-door meeting on Libya on Tuesday

Why the rush? | RT @shawnpowers: Well that should do it, then | U.S. supports expelling Libya from the UN Human Rights Council

In Libya. Wait… no, not there either I guess | RT @Muqata: Gazan rockets hitting Israel. Where’s Goldstone?

Way to stay focused on what matters champs | RT @HRW: US: Lack of Paid Leave Harms Workers, Children http://bit.ly/fSSyS5

Should NYT really be railing against Qaddafi the “butcher” two years after letting that sociopath publish an editorial in paper?

Apologists lied about Libyan reforms so they could open oil markets, and now market integration is killing global econ. Great work guys!
