Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:
It’s a little perplexing looking at the White House today. There was a
statement on the horrible earthquake in New Zealand, and certainly our
hearts go out to all those affected by this horrible natural disaster.
But nothing on the slaughter in Libya? The protests in many places in
the Middle East affect regimes that have cooperated with the U.S. on
issues from peace with Israel, fighting al Qaeda, hosting our military
forces, or cooperating against Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Gaddafi’s Libya
is different. For four decades, this tyrant has held power. Gaddafi was
Osama before Osama hit the scene. He ordered the bombing of a disco in
Germany to kill Americans. When he paid the price for that – after
President Reagan rightly ordered retaliation – he directed his agents to
blow up Pan Am Flight 103. They did, and more than 250 innocent people
died. Gaddafi tried to come in from the cold in 2003 – scared by the
demonstration effect of Iraq. But we should have no illusions. Gaddafi
is a brutal killer and Libya – not to mention the world – would be
better off if he were out of power. Now is the time to speak out. Speak
out for the long-suffering Libyan people. Speak out for the victims of
Gaddafi’s terror. NATO and our allies should look at establishing a
no-fly zone so Libyan air forces cannot continue slaughtering the Libyan
people. We should not be afraid of freedom, especially when it comes to
people suffering under a brutal enemy of America. Here’s to freedom
from Gaddafi for the people of Libya.
