US says Gaddafi violence denials are 'delusional'
The US ambassador to the United Nations pushed back forcefully Monday against Muammar Gaddafi's assertions that he had not used force against his own people, calling the Libyan leader "delusional."
Speaking at the White House, Ambassador Susan Rice said the fact that Gaddafi could make such comments while he "slaughters" his own people shows how disconnected the longtime leader is. Gadhafi denied using force against protesters during an interview Monday on ABC News. (AP)
