It’s a Quagmire… Russia, China, Dems Call for Libyan Ceasefire

During Secretary Robert Gates visit this week Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov called for immediate ceasefire in Libya.
National Journal reported:

In a stinging rebuke of U.S. policy in Libya, the Russian defense minister accused the U.S.-led coalition of killing Libyan civilians through errant air strikes and called for an immediate cease-fire on Tuesday. The comments drew a quick rebuke from visiting Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who said the Russian criticism was based on “outright lies.”

Speaking to reporters following an hourlong meeting with Gates, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said Russia continued to support the United Nations resolution authorizing the creation of a no-fly zone over Libya but made clear that Moscow was increasingly uneasy about the escalating campaign.

China called for an immediate ceasefire too.

And, then there’s this… Democrat Dennis Kucinich wants Obama impeached over the Libyan attacks.
