US: Gadhafi claim protesters on drugs is nonsense

WASHINGTON — The US on Saturday mocked Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi over his claim that anti-government protesters are misguided youths who have been given drugs and money by a "small, sick group."
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley has a new Twitter posting that jabs Gaddafi's "hardly sober claim that protesters are on drugs."
Crowley said "the people of Libya are clear-eyed in their demand for change."
Gaddafi made the comment in a speech Tuesday on state TV when he declared himself "a warrior" and promised to fight on and die a "martyr."
