US: Libya Troops Issued Viagra, Raping Victims

The United States on Thursday raised allegations that Moammar Gadhafi's regime gives Viagra to troops to carry out rapes as the U.N. Security Council wrangled over coalition attacks in Libya, diplomats said.

Russia and other nations have argued that France, Britain, the United States and their allies patrolling a no-fly zone over Libya are going beyond the mandate given by U.N. Security Council resolutions.

But the United States insisted that coalition actions were within the resolutions. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice highlighted the use of Viagra in the closed-door meeting as the debate intensified, according to diplomats present.

Rice said Gadhafi's forces were "issuing Viagra to soldiers so that they go out and rape," said one diplomat at the meeting.

The ambassador did not give sources for the allegations. But another diplomat at the meeting said she made the comment as part of a debate with another envoy to highlight that "the coalition is confronting an adversary doing reprehensible things."

The U.S. mission did not immediately comment on the claims.

Allegations of Viagra being given to Gadhafi forces have been aired in British tabloid newspapers. A doctor in the Libyan city of Ajdabiya said last month that Gadhafi troops had been given Viagra and condoms as part of a campaign of sexual violence.

Margot Wallstrom, the U.N. special representative on sexual violence in conflict, issued a statement last week highlighting that reports of rapes in the Libya war have been "brutally silenced".

The Security Council is increasingly divided over the Libya conflict, with Russia in particular criticizing the western coalition.

Vitaly Churkin, Russian ambassador to the U.N., said Resolutions 1970 and 1973 allowing the military action in Libya to protect civilians "must be implemented strictly and accurately."

"We are concerned about a kind of tendency of escalation in the military conflict which is bringing about more civilian casualties," Churkin told reporters.

I'm with Harbin on this one :bullshit:

While I'm sure Gadhafi's troops aren't angels. I seriously doubt they are making an active effort to get and distribute Viagra so they can rape people.

This story may be bullshit, but where was the outcry when US troops were paying Afghan warlords with Viagra for information during the "war on terror"? What did they honestly think they were going to do with that Viagra, pleasure their consenting adult wife?

at the beginning of world war 2,in an effort to sway public opinion in america,the u.s.gov't put out propaganda stating that the nazi's were impaling babies with swords and bayonets.
all false.
this is nothing new.
