President Will Publicly Address the Violent Unrest in Libya

Source: The Hill

President Obama is expected to address the violent unrest in Libya either Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning.  

White House press secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday defended the White House's silence on the matter in recent days, noting that Obama released a statement condemning the violence last Friday.

Carney also said that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been "forceful" in her condemnation of the violence Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has employed against his people in an attempt to suppress the uprising there.  

"I don't think that there's been any mystery here about" the U.S. position on the violence in Libya, Carney said.
