US Lawmakers Respond to Latest NATO Attacks on Libya

Michael Bowman Washington May 01, 2011

U.S. legislators of both parties are affirming support for NATO airstrikes that reportedly killed one of Libyan leader Colonel Moammar Gadhafi’s sons and three of his grandchildren.

In 1986, Moammar Gadhafi survived U.S. airstrikes on Libyan military installations as well as the leader’s residence in Triploi. If current reports from Libya are accurate, Colonel Gadhafi has again survived air attacks that killed several family members.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is applauding NATO’s actions.

"I support what NATO did," he said. "I thought this was a good use of the mandate. This is the way to end this [conflict]. Thousands of people are subject to dying, the longer this takes. No one in the world is going to regret Gadhafi being replaced, however you do it. I want to thank NATO for expanding the scope of these operations."

Graham, who spoke on the Fox News Sunday television program, was an early advocate of international support for Libyan rebels who rose up against Moammar Gadhafi earlier this year.

A Libyan government spokesman has labeled the air strikes as a deliberate assassination attempt. Senator Graham says NATO has nothing for which to apologize.

"Wherever Gadhafi goes is a legitimate military target. He is the command-and-control source [of Libyan forces], he added. "He is not the legitimate leader of Libya. In my view, he is a murderer. He is killing his own people; he is acting outside of international law. He should be brought to justice or killed."

Appearing on CBS’ Face the Nation program, Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona said he regrets any loss of innocent life in Libya, but reaffirmed his support for ousting Colonel Gadhafi.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Democratic Senator Kent Conrad also voiced support for ongoing NATO operations.

"Gadhafi has got to go," he said. "I have said repeatedly I think you go after the pillars of his power. And the pillars of his power are the regiments that are controlled by his sons, the mercenaries he has brought in from other countries, his money, and his tribe. I believe all of those should be targeted and aggressively gone after. You cannot allow him to continue."

Conrad acknowledged his understanding of U.S. law is that individuals are not to be targeted militarily. But he said going after Colonel Gadhafi’s military support structure is entirely legitimate, actions that could result in the death of the Libyan leader himself.

British Prime Minister David Cameron says NATO is targeting Libyan command and control units, not individuals.

it is about time the US has rightfully, been able to express violence against violence.

SUCH AN UPROAR OVER THE DEATH OF OOPNE MAN AND HIS CHILDREN, MEANWHILE HIS FAMILY MEMBERS ARE MURDERING MANY INNOCENT LIBYAN,S WITH OUT A CARE,. IF GHADAFI WANTS TO END THIS SLAUGHTER OF LIBYANS HE CAN DO SO BY SURRENDERING TO NATO AND MANDATING A TROOP WITHDRAWAL AND CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES.

01-05-2011 David Knowles (United Kingdom)
If he so desperate to get rid of Gadaffi perhaps he should go and fight with the rebels then. Also some should ask if him what he would consider a legitimate government and why he does not seem to support the Syrian, Bahrain, Saudi Arabian rables.

tit for tat war crimes, nohing to gloat about

01-05-2011 naksuthin (USA)
I'm not a great supporter of this 3rd war. But I give Obama a lot of credit for turning the heavy lifting over to NATO. instead of sending American planes, pilots and troops to get bogged down in another expensive and protracted war that could drag on for years. Had we gotten NATO involved in Iraq 10 years ago we would have spared 5000 American lives and 1 Trillion dollars.

01-05-2011 It's really hard to believe that a naqtion that claims to have been so heart broken over the events of 9/11 could rain detruction on those who have done them no harm. And do it with such joy. Arabs dancing in a stret are nothing compared to the hearless rejoicing of Americans such as Lindsey Graham. God forbid he should ever suffer what he promotes for others. I hope that God is a close relative.

01-05-2011 Ask him to keep the same tone if Gaddafi kills obamas daughter ...Just becoz some western forces are carrying out the strikes doesn't legalize them to assasinate a ruler they can take him to International court which takes care of such cases like war crimes for which it punishes all non westerners like sudans bashir and gaddafi as far as Bush and Blair are concerned they are killing terrorist and if civilians are confirmed killed they are concerned (sic).

This is a war crime targeting and killing civilians in disguise of protecting the civilians. World should unite and say "NO" to this - blood for oil- war.

So the American politicians are supporting the killing of children and world leaders and politicians.Is that why the USA is killing innocent children and citizens in Afganistan and Pakistans. keep in mind if it's okay for the USA to do this then it's okay for the rest of the world including Iran, North Korea, etc including buildings where innocent people work.

What crime did the three grandchildren do. we as us citizens should be ashamed .OBAMA should denounce this action !!!!

01-05-2011 Adam (Uk)
Lindsey Graham, your a worthless mouth piece of the UN and those complicit in this war in Libya. This war, just like in Iraq, is based on outright lies. We are supporting a coup against the legitimate Government and it is all to do with Oil. My Government (UK) are complicit in war crimes as are the Americans and all those responsible for this disaster in Libya.

01-05-2011 Julie (USA)
Heavenly Father, please stop the evil bombing violence to Libya people and its country’s sovereign by bully USA, and NATO; may Holy Spirit upon those war maniacs and mongers of USA and NATO and change their stony hearts to flesh ones; may you, heavenly Father grant them grace to stop vanishing their human conscience and morality;(continue)

Does America really care about this country no... let me pose this question.. Everytime there is a state of emergency everyone looks at the us to help but why most of you dispise us. You hate us when its a convient time to do so. When america has a massive emergency we get no help or the vaugue pretenders that send 10 people on a regional size problem. Ps if you don't want America dealing with all of this world would you quit looking at us.

Obama administration has lost credibility in the eyes of his own people. This bloody war is nakedly going beyond the 1973 UN resolution. Obama should return the Nobel Peace Prize. Or else we have to name a new Nobel prize for war crimes.

01-05-2011 OIL, OIL, OIL, ........ WHAT HAVE GADAFI'S GRAND CHILDREN GOT TO DO WITH THIS? OH PLEASE!

01-05-2011 There is many different ways of settling conflicts. People need to realize these 'good guys' are massively cheering and applauding after 3 innocent kids were blown to pieces. Gadhafi is still alive and well. Good job, world police...

No way, Americans supporting murder? What a shock.

01-05-2011 Erin Clarke (US)
I think It was selfish and cruel for gadhafi to keep his family close by instead of insisting they travel to be safely out of harm's way until all threat had passed. what kind of man exposes his children and grandchildren to any sort of danger at all? Gadhafi's failures to protect his family in this regard are very sad.

The Infinite arm of karma, with its iron fist, is catching up with the Qaddaffis. Their lives are not more valuable or sacrosanct, than the lives of any other Libyan, whom the seem to completely disregard.

So typical of uneducated people. Not that USA is innocent of all charges anymore than most countries, but to put the blame of the airstrikes on USA when they were not even part of the NATO air strikes that killed Gaddafi's youngest son and grandchildren. Oh well, good that USA has broad shoulders.

@Janice LOL. you think america is the only country over there? you think america caused the civilians to rebel against the leader, who was considered a friend to america? you think it would be better for countries to not offer aid to the people being raped and murdered by Gadhafi’s and just let it keep going on? and btw. nobody has a soul. there is no god. there is no hell. enjoy your day.

Just like Pontius Pilate, they have deemed it legal and wash their hands over this crime. Shame on them.

01-05-2011 Not sure (Canada)
I'm sorry for deaths wherever. Why is ANY country shooting in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Libya. These countries invaded the U.S.? Or Canada? If Kadaffy wants to kill his own people, that's bad. It's still not American law he's breaking. The rebels are rebelling... I would too! I'm Canadian: the only war I want to fight is the one where bad guys are shooting at Canadians in Canada.

Why isn't Russia and china supporting the freedom fighters of the world? I hope that all those who are today fighting for their rights to a free world will remember. As for Russia and China, well, they would gladly stand by and watch the world's dictators slaughter their own people. I think Putin recently made that very clear.

01-05-2011 sal (USA)
The whole family are butchers and murderers. I guess what goes around comes around. So many people have died at the hands of this regime, even before the revolution. The man is insane and does not need to be in power at all. His family is just as insane as he is. The are no more than gangsters and criminals.

Assassination of children in my name as an American is below contempt and truly a crime against humanity ! The target was a home not a military facility !

01-05-2011 (Russia)
Deliberately attacking civilian targets and killing underage children because their grandfather is a head of state is a war crime, according to the Geneva Accord. If the USA is not living up to it's treaties, what better reason for China and Russia to join together to form a superpower greater than the USA, which will happen by the year 2020... It is just a matter of time.

01-05-2011 I do not think the amarican have the right to say anything about libya because as we see it in libya the whole bproblem created by the usa why do not you leave the libya detrmine what is good for them and do not support the minorty in the east part but any way the fire you have lite it will also burn at the end justwait and see

I feel for mothers but it appears that the Gadhafi family will go as for as using their family as a human shield. If this where not the case then his son's and himself would stay far away from the womin and children. I appears that this family has NO RESPECT

i support NATO but not toally because of death of the innocents on both sides. i rather suggest a faster way of concluding the conflict by way of picking out Gaddafi, the commander in chief of Libyan army

01-05-2011 unch (usa)
madness. the biggest bullies in the world. usa, a superpower calling itself nato with a few wimpy countries, using incredible force to pick a winner in a civil war. what liars and thugs. we are warmongers and no one is saying it. who can justify entering the fray to prevent deaths and then kill innocent people they've decided will be the losers? it is a low point in history. a hollow 'i'm sorry' for accidental deaths by morons at nato shows exactly how desensitized these liars are.

Gadaffi admitted tjo the Lockerbie bombing. NATO isdoing it's function. If the same were going on in our own country, you would be pleading for help to get rid of the man killing your neighbors. It's not always pretty the means we have to take to insure our safety but in the end we are grateful for the lives spared as a result of doing nothing. NATO is able to complete operations after the US has done its part to iniate the campaign to end this long over due end of tyranny in Libya.

It seems to me that the U.S. government is the god farther to the U.N. the U.S. says Whatcom Gadaffi so they try to Whatcom twice. but the mafia has principles they only kill their target not the whole family and blow up the neighborhood. guess what country is next ?( iran.) you guessed it . unless they get a bomb first .this is the new world order .

THE WORLD HAVE BECOME SO WICKED. MEMBERS OF THE US PALIMENT CAN MAKE SUCH STATEMENTS. MAY GOD REDEEM OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE FROM THE EVIL. TO LIVE IS A RIGHT FROM GOD NO ONE NOT ANY HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY ANYONES LIVE THIS IS EVIL. NATO KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IS EVIL. AND ALL THAT SUPPORT TAKING AWAY PEOPLE LIVES ARE EVIL. GADHAFI ACTION IS ALSO EVIL KILLING INNOCENT. WAY FORWAR IS NOT FIRE FOR FIRE BUT DIALOGUE.

01-05-2011 Puking my guts out (USA)
Murderers. I think the legislators of both parties and the president should sacrifice their children and grand children. These scum bags represent US. I do not approve. Under no circumstances should we resort to murder. I can not put into words how disgusted I am with every American that allows this, including me. Pull your heads out of your asses. Murders!!! = The American public. I can not even look myself in the mirror. May you all rot in hell with me!

As for the comments of bongani (south africa), yes we will all meet our match before God but not at the hand of a Dictator from a foreign country

Well if it is now legal to murder heads of state or there children contrary to what the mandate UN 1973 says the world is getting to be a very bloody place ,come to think of it is there not a UN law that says no one may do that ? Or is it now OK for the Real IRA Freedom fighters to target London again ? Or any other groups to target there governments in the name of freedom ?

Qadhafi: I have the perfect right to kill my own people. NATO: No, you don't. You are incapable of doing that. We Can do that in a much better way.

01-05-2011 its hard to believe that all these supporters of NATO attacking Libya actually believe it is all about altruistic reasons and not just an excuse. i am under no delusion of Gadhafi past atrocities but do you all really think this would be happening if A. Libya was large enough to fight back. B. there was no oil in Libya?

This is in my opion a war crime when you exceed the un mandate and target children. Gen bouchard and the colation leaders should face the war crimes tribrunal in the hague.

01-05-2011 America (USA)
Killing children, no matter the reason, is ALWAYS wrong! American's do not support this war nor that type of action. It is Obama's doing that we are involved at all, not America's. He did this without our appoval and we had no vote on it. It is American military policy never to harm children. Our soldiers have shed their lives defending this policy.

01-05-2011 There isn't any justification to assassinate innocent children in their home and to do so invites the Wrath of GOD. But here its called a War Crime. When you lower yourself to the inhumanity of your enemy you are no better than they are.

01-05-2011 Every nation should vote it's leaders in. Everyone knows this.

Since Gadhafi and his regime are legitimate military target, i guess in reversal US law makers and other officials will be targets one day too. The chickens will come home to roost .

01-05-2011 J. Hart (New Zealand)
"He is not the legitimate leader of [country]. In my view, he is a murderer. He is killing his own people; he is acting outside of international law. He should be brought to justice or killed." - isn't this exactly what people have been saying about Bush and certain other Republican leaders?

01-05-2011 Ray Thompson (Great Britain)
I feel saddened that a so-called major power has to resort to assassination attempts to solve a situation in Libya that was OK while the oil flowed the right way. Shame on you USA, show some leadership rather than using your military muscle to (try and) get your own way. One day, the roles will be reversed.

01-05-2011 doyle Jones (U.S.A.)
I think both sides in this war in Libya, need to get serious about a cease fire. Ultimately, what happens in Libya will affect the other middle-eastern countries seeking freedoms and basic human rights. War should be a very last result, not the first solution. Ultimately, children get caught up in war, unfortunately. I hate, that. I offer my condolences.

01-05-2011 dabaw1 (USA)
Those who sympathize with Gadaffy should go and live in Libya under Gadaffy's control and find out how it is over there. They may also tell Gadaffy that they like him so much and they are willing to fight for him. You can say all you want now because the US guarantees your freedom of speech. Try doing that whenmyou are under Gadaffy.Good luck to you guys.

01-05-2011 remembers (U.S.A)
Perhaps it has taken too long for the Gadhafis to pay for the blood on Moammars hands, so long that it no longer feels like justice?

01-05-2011 Human (UK)
The biggest war criminal in history - USA. Killing and maiming women, children and elderly in Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kosovo, Libya, and supporting similar acts in the West Bank, Iran Iraq war, Indo Pak war through their Military-Commercial setup. Surprising how they keep moving the goalposts - Airstrikes to help rebels, umm... no, to attack Qaddafi forces, ummm...no, to attack Qaddafi himself, and the world looks on and does nothing... SHAMEFUL!

01-05-2011 TiredoftheBS (U.S)
I guess the U.S. has officially become a country that oversees, mandates, and willfully initiate, and participate in assassinations of leaders. It’s amazing how U.S. officials glorify it, but none of them are on the front line! Our children are on the frontlines! Wait a minute, I forgot! We just trimmed billions off a government, and public debt; thought we were broke! That’s okay; just use it to kill someone!

NATO(Read USA) has not learnt from 9/11 that you don't go messing into other countries's affairs. What sort of a catastrophe will it take for nations to mind their own business? But why should the politicians bother, they are not the ones to die in terrorist attacks...how many senators died in 9/11..NONE.

01-05-2011 Mike (Malaysia)
West has learnt nothing from their past mistakes.Let me remind all NATO supporters that it was US and its allies that armed Taliban to fight against Russians during cold war(google Charlie Wilson).Though necessary for US's fight against commies, what was the end result - 9/11.Now the west is talking about arming the Libyan rebel.Stop creating Frankenstein monster.Popular opinion (democracy) may not be the best thing in all situations, especially in Mid East countries.

01-05-2011 Mike (USA)
People act like this is the first time that there were casualties of war. There's nothing glamorous about war. So unless you've been a part of one, stfu. Maybe its because of oil, maybe its because Gadhafi's a murderer, maybe both. Doesn't matter. It's so easy sitting there drinking your latte, whinning about it. America doesn't target civilians. It's war, people get killed. Get over it. When its over, let God sort it out.

Will Obama allow his own children be murdered in this cowardly manner ? The blood of those kids are on the leaders of NATO, and God in his own time will bring about vengeance and retribution

To understand what is going on in Libya and Syria and sufferings of people you must live there after make up you comment if the dictator did not cut off your hands to write and your tongue to speak.

I remember the Obama who campaigned against the war in 2001 and against Bush's lack of moral authority. I liked Obama then but also saw what I feared to be a consummate politician. Of course politics can be so seductive and corrupts many. As for Libya, we all have these childrens' blood on our hands.

The nato wash their hands in oil and the blood of the many is used as a excuse to obtain oil for are cars.Shame on us for are greed and hunger for wealth.

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is applauding while civilians are wiped out, i think civilization just reached an all time low in the west. We are governed by monsters. The attack on Libya has been a lie from the beginning, the west have their own agenda and no amount of insurgent or civilian deaths will detract from that.

Gadhafi andf his son commanded the his military so bombing them as a military control central is correct. Also, NATO bombed TV station when he was giving speech there so NATO could kill him if they would want to but he continued his murderous work. If he was sleeping in the building when NATO bombed his son, they could bomb him too. Does he not get the hints? He should just give up and run.

That SOB should have been killed 30 years ago. I neither feel sorry for him or for his family. They know what he is. Moreover, if they were all stupid enough to remain at the compound: then, they only have themselves to blame. If you follow a tyrant you will most likely die right along with him. Expect no mercy.

This is not The world we use to know, it's getting ever so sick killing babies and all that...

01-05-2011 Emeka (Nigeria)
if gadhafi and his family member command the killing of armless protesters, he to deservr to die. why is it an issue because NATO bombed his compound? what about those innocent citizens that have been killed because of this protest. i consider it right that gadhafi should be killed and even his family members

if north africa had vast deposits of pumkins in the ground instead of oil does anyone believe that the US or Nato would be fighting wars over there to spread democracy and protect the rebels from autocratic puppet regimes

01-05-2011 John Rogers (USA)
Gadhafi is a terrorist. These Gadhafi events remind me more and more of the story of the little gingerbread man....starring Nato as the FOX! Now that we have him into the deep we have but one thing left to do! Lybia used to rely a lot on tourism prior to this little Nato incursion. We just have to remember like Cuban/Russia he has a good friend in China.

01-05-2011 If Libyans want to get rid of Moammar Gadhafi, they should purchase weapons that will enable them to defeat him. In other words, Gadhafi should be defeated by the Libyan people not the United States (NATO), Britain, and France. The US, Britain, and France want Gadhafi out of power but for their own political, economic and monetary reasons. Look at Sudan (Darfur), Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. Watch out for the US and NATO.

Killing children to protect civilians ! This can not the better way to do it. Why did not NATO attak Mouaamar guadafi s army? Its not fair to kill children under any cicumstances.
