something else. i dealt with gadhafi. what did you do? you u)ied the lead. excuse me. i rented him a piece of land. he paid me more for one night than the land was worth for the whole year or for two years and then didn t let him use the land.ç was that over in new jersey. i don t want to use the word screwed, but i screwed him. that s what we should be doing. well it happened during a 2009 visit to the united nations. gadhafi pitched his tent on property owned by donald trump after a lot of noise about it trump had the tent removed. to hear him tell it he kept gadhafi s money. on a separate note, trump has expressed doubts that president obama was born in the u.s. and is therefore eligible to serve as president. he s an unusual member of the group who declare themselves with such doubts. but a bit more he s in the birther crowd now. next sharron angle makes a comeback. she s looking to restart her career with a run for congress. her first 2012 press conference came wit
our rockets killed gadhafi. extremely lucky. is that good? very good. bull s eye. better that we win this fight. always better that we win the fight. great to have you on. coming up, was president obama right to go into libya. what s the mission and end game encongressional approval? can one president make these kinds of decisions without even asking anybody at all in the congress? you re watching hardball only on msnbc. hey. what are you doing up? i thought i d take a drive before work. want to come? [ female announcer ] or make his day. yeah. [ female announcer ] maxwell house gives you a rich, full-flavored cup of coffee, so you can be good to the last drop.
he had allowed i think howard too, if he allowed the slaughter of people right there in benghazi as we watched as he promised to kill every germ in that country, disinfect the germs, if he did actually gone in and did what he s@yd he would do and we stood by, you would have been morally ashamed of that and would have said so. so you re not just fickle like these others out there who go the way with the political movement on their side. your thoughts, howard. my thought is according to our military correspondent at the huffington post a lot of people in that area of benghazi, benghazi is the area of eastern libya on a statistical basis has provided more people for al qaeda, more volunteers than any other place. do we want gadhafi going down? no that s my point. it s a better expression of our concern for the humanitarian aspect of it that we want to save them regardless. very nuanced.
this is an interesting cnn poll. 50% of the country approves of the president s handling of the situation, 40% disapprove. 70% support the no fly zone for libya, 54% support the united states and other countries using planes and missiles to attack gadhafi s troops. 43% oppose. that s pretty close. 70% oppose using any ground troops to attack gadhafi s troops. and 77% say gadhafi s removal for the u.s. but questions continue to fly about what the u.s. goal is and whether the president has authority to commit u.s. troops to this mission. pat buchanan and jenny back is a political analyst. the people cannot decide. they don t know what they are thinking. the last questions, answer questions. they say they want to get rid of the guy, they don t want to use
you say they are despondent because they need the necessary things to get this thingç done. do they say the united states or anybody else taking down gadhafi, killing him, whatever? what do they see or think is happening to the leader of the country? reporter: they want gadhafi to go. but not just gadhafi, also his son. a lot of the focus has been on moammar gadhafi himself. but really it s his son, the bald headed son who is on television aot who has been running libya for the last several years. so they think it s important to get rid of gadhafi and his son and other members of gadhafi s family that run military units. they would love it here in benghazi if gadhafi were suddenly to be taken out. if not and the rebels have to do it themselves they want the air strikes to continue, the missile strikes to continue and if they can get it they want advisors on the ground from any country that
