    Polite words after someone kicks the bucket, whoever they may be, is politics, understandable

    What did US politicians say when Gaddafi was murdered? Honest question

    Edit: I looked up what Obama had to say when Gaddafi was murdered:

    "Today, the government of Libya announced the death of Muammar Qaddafi. This marks the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of Libya, who now have the opportunity to determine their own destiny in a new and democratic Libya.

    For four decades, the Qaddafi regime ruled the Libyan people with an iron fist. Basic human rights were denied. Innocent civilians were detained, beaten and killed. And Libya’s wealth was squandered. The enormous potential of the Libyan people was held back, and terror was used as a political weapon"

    Not so “just politics” back then huh?
