U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke to reporters today about the latest developments in Libya, calling for an end to the violence and pledging the support of the United Nations to “assist in all vital areas” by coordinating with “Libya’s neighbors and the international community.”

Ban intends to meet with leaders of the African Union, European Union, and Arab League to discuss the Libyan crisis, and insisted that “[t]he international community has a duty, all the member states of the United Nations… to fully comply with the decisions of the ICC.” The International Criminal Court has already issued arrest warrants for Moammar Gaddafi, his son Saif, and the dictator’s intelligence chief, but the rebels have expressed support for trying members of the Gaddafi regime in-country.

Ban said today the United Nations would support a peaceful transition of power after the violence subsides.

We must ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance to all those in need. This is a hopeful moment, but also there are risks ahead. Now is the time for all Libyans to focus on national unity, reconciliation and inclusiveness. I am determined to show that the United Nations does everything it can to promote an orderly transition.

A smooth transition to what, numbnuts? Iranian rule I would imagine.

Just because the Gadfly is gone means absolutely NOTHING. Now the real trouble ( for the United States of America ) starts.

You’ll know every word I’m stating here is true because the grifter in our White House will not claim, nor will the MSM assign victory to Barack Hussein Obama ll.

Just as has been the case with America, everything this guy ( Obama ) , or his wife touches, immediately turns to ____, ( rhymes with ship ).

Is there a reason why every UN secretary-general is worse than his predecessor? Was there anyone worse than Ban Ki-Moon who could have been selected for the job? Why does the US continue to belong to this organization?

UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY GENERAL BAN KI-MOON,
When a leader of a sovereign nation, such as Libya, is overthrown by Obama and the U.N., you are not allowed to dictate the terms of his departure. You and Obama dictated to Mubarak, the leader of Egypt. He is now in court in a cage, with Muslim Brotherhood calling for his beheading and the chopping off of his hands. It is called Sharia Law. GADDAFI, you can call the shots. Get someone to identify the rebels. If they are MB, you decide how to handle the end game. SYRIA, you are a sovereign nation. Don’t let anyne overthrow you.
Check the protesters to see how many are Muslim Brotherhood. Toss MB out of your country on their ears.
Obama invited Muslim Brotherhood to his speech in Cairo, and they attended. WHY?
