Hilary Clinton Reacts to News of Muammar Gaddafi's Death

US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton was handed a BlackBerry which showed a message regarding the capture of Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi. Hillary Clinto's initial reaction was simply to say, "Wow."

Clinton then said to those around her, "Unconfirmed. Unconfirmed reports about Gaddafi being captured. Unconfirmed. Yeah, we've had a bunch of those before. We've 'had him captured' a couple of times."

It turned out that the message was indeed inaccurate, and then some: Gaddafi was killed by NTC forces in Sirte. You can see the Hilary Clinton reaction video below.

Also, recall the now-iconic photo taken in the White House when President Obama and his staff watched the Navy SEALs storm Osama bin Laden's compound: Hilary Clinton's reaction alone made the news several times.
