| U.S. official: Offer to Gbagbo to come to U.S. 'rapidly closing' |
| 2011-01-04 |
| (CNN) -- A senior administration official says an offer for self-declared Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo to step down and come to the United States still is open but Gbagbo is "digging in." Well, that'll save some time...later. The official, who spoke on background because of the diplomatic sensitivity of the issue, said "If President Gbagbo is looking for a dignified exit we remain open to help him with that, but there's no indication that he's prepared to leave at this point." The official said Gbagbo, who was defeated in an election but refuses to cede power, has ignored efforts by the U.S. to communicate. "He has declined to see our ambassador," the official said, "He has declined to accept phone calls. But we have provided written communication. He is aware." Gbagbo, he said, owns a number of properties both in the region and elsewhere "so he's got no shortage of possible destinations." |

| #4 Gbagbo was "defeated" by the "votes" of illegal immigrants... What would you say if it is proven that jerry Brown was elected by mexican illegals? In Cote d'Ivoire it is a fact that France have actively assisted in the invasion of the country by neighboring muslims... Remember Biafra...a Christian nation exterminated by neighboring muslims with the assistance of England, Canada, Russia AND America. Next Californian governor will be a Mexican illegal, you can bet on it, and in two years, there will be no christian left in Cote d'ivoire. |

| #3 Gbagbo, he said, owns a number of properties both in the region and elsewhere Perhaps THIS will help him decide. |
