Washington, March 12: Libyan ruler Muammar Al Gaddafi has more firepower than the opposition, but he is on the “wrong side of the history” and should leave immediately, US President Barack Obama said today.
“I don’t think anybody disputes that Gadhafi has more firepower than the opposition,” Obama said at a White House news conference.
“I believe that Gadhafi is on the wrong side of history. I believe that the Libyan people are anxious for freedom and the removal of somebody who has suppressed them for decades now.
“We are going to be in contact with the opposition, as well as in consultation with the international community, to try to achieve the goal of Mr Gadhafi being removed from power,” Obama said.
