embargo. i want to play a brief snippet of an interview i had with paul wolfowitz, take a listen. what can we do to assist the opposition? they have stood up with unbelievable bravery, just issued a statement of principles which if it were a constitution would probably be the best constitution in the arab world and we have yet to recognize them, we have yet to send emissaries to sit with them in benghazi and find out more about who they are. we have yet to give them assistance in broadcasting or for that matter in shutting down the noxious stuff coming out of libyan state tv. there s a lot we can do that doesn t require military action. you know, at a certain point i think before these military reversals everybody was talking so much about nonmilitary means, does any of this weigh in the balance at this point? well, it has been the hope of the administration that nonmilitary means would work over time. they didn t expect instant success from that but i do think they re trying t
