Qadhafi has lost legitimacy, must leave: Obama
2011-03-04
[Dawn] Libyan leader Moamer Qadhafi has lost legitimacy and must leave office, US President Barack B.O. Obama said Thursday.

"The United States and the entire world continues to be outraged by the appalling violence against the Libyan people," Obama told a presser at the White House.

"Going forward, we will continue to send a clear message: The violence must stop. Moamar Qadaffy has lost legitimacy to lead and he must leave."

#12  The translator routine renders it "Qadaffy," which is why headlines and text often read differently.

The correct transliteration isn't "Cudhuffy," but I've seen it rendered just about every other way, with the possible exception of "Chumley."

#11  Per Daniel Pipes:
'the correct spelling of his name is Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhāfi, معمر القذافي‎'

#9  BTW, every news story has a different spelling of Daffy's name. How the hell do you spell his name?

It's a transliteration from the Arabic, Glenmore, so there is no correct way to spell it, only different conventions. How many different ways are there to spell [C]han[n]uk[k]a[h]? ;-)

Daffy is just as good a spelling as any.

#4  I wouldn't be surprised if Qadhafi says Obama has lost his legitmacy, and he must leave.

BTW, every news story has a different spelling of Daffy's name. How the hell do you spell his name?

#3  Obama is certainly less than inspiring. But he is a "politician".

And some fools had such hopes for "Hope and Change".
When you see an "Obama in '08" Bumper Sticker, you know you are driving behind a ( fill in the blank).

Dont you wish you could "go forward" confident in your legitimacy to lead with an unambiguous and clear message?
Why do I get the impression that no matter what the world is like Obama will always be just a "mouth".?

In the Obama presidency he always looks at his moral compass and says to himself, "What would a total punk do?"

#2  So Gaddafi's despotic rule once had legitimacy while for example presidential term limits in the western democratic Honduran constitution were and are illegitimate?

No surprise here, but it is still appalling!
