Insuch matters, it is not uncommon for the U.S. ambassador tothe U.N. to take a leadership role informulating such a response to theviolence and destruction in a country in bloodyturmoil.divdivHowever, as time goes by, more and more Americans are realizing that a secondstringer is in charge at least at the United Nations building in New York City, aka The Beast on the East River the title of Nathan Tabors provocative book.divOn Saturday, during reports about Middle East unrest not only in Libya but also in Bahrain and other Arab nations, Americas top U.N. representative was as silent as she was absent.Many observers were shocked to discover that theU.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Ms.Susan Rice, was 8,000 miles away from New YorksU.N. headquarters.Amb. Rice is visiting South Africathis weekend discussingissues close to the heart of her President Carbon emissions and green jobsin the Third World.One can only wonder if she isbeing briefed on the troubled Middle East.For example, aU.S.intelligence source told theLaw Enforcement Examiner that armed African mercenaries inLibyan neighborhoods are firing on anyone theyseein the streets of Tripoli.The mercenaries arereportedly being supported by machine gunmounted, rocketfiring helicopters. Reports many of them unsubstantiated describe mercenaries butchering, raping and killing Libyan men, women and children and the Libyan soldiersfear interfering with the activities of Khadhafis hired guns. Libyas hired guns were recruited from Chad, Niger, and the Sudan and are considered battlehardened and ruthless, said the source.According to the Huffington Post hardly a rightwing, Obamahating publication missing the Security Council meeting on the Libyanrevolution was not Rices first absence from high profile U.N. business. Rice was absent when the U.N. held an emergency Security Council meeting on Israels raid of a ship headed to Gaza and when Iran was elected to the U.N. Womens Commission. Rice also failed to speak out when Libya was elected to the U.N. Human Rights Council in May 2010.In asurprising development reported by Fox News Channels Jennifer Griffin, Libyas deputy ambassador to the United Nations called for Khadhafi to resign immediately.Did Rice know this Why didnt Rice immediately meet with Libyas U.N. representativeLibyan Ambassador DabbashiaccusedKhadhafi of genocide andtold members of the U.N. press corp thatKhadhafi shouldbe tried as awar criminal.He has to leave as soon as possible. He has to stop killing the Libyan people, Dabbashi told news reportersat the United Nations. What was the United States response to such a major developmentdivReportedly, Ambassador Rice was enjoying a formal tea with politicians and environmentalists in South Africa, who see the socalled Green movement as a means to taking more money from Americans and giving it to depots and thugs such as... well, present and future Moamer Khadhafis, quipped political strategistMike Baker.divdiv
