have been saying they know she has to be above the fray. leave it to others is the advice to point out the political motivations pro or con of this committee. as you know, the republicans have damaged themselves in recent days and weeks and let democrats on the committee pick up the kuj ul on that. shes supposed to be the secretary of state, but a cabinet secretary aggrieved by the loss but also arguing today that we cannot pull back our diplomats from the front lines, that chris steve...

Us 0en 9/11 and trying to defee at the same time supporting them with arms to overthrow the syrian government. >> you dont want the u.s. government to provide arms to the rebels. >> i dont want the u.s. government to provide weapons to al qaeda, to islamic extremists, our enemy. its a simple concept in my mind you cant defeat your enemy if youre arming them and helping them at the same time. makes so neense. >> have you told this to officials. >> its important for the american people to stand up...

Many different regions. >> does it not concern you al assads regime has been brutal killing at least 200,000, 300,000 people with barrel bombs and reports of hundreds of thousands of people who have been left homeless, billions in fact, refugees, and the u.s. is obviously, so many other international powers upset about that and want to get rid of him as a result of what hes been doing to his own people over the past four years? >> yeah, wolf it concerns me deeply to see this tremendous and tragi...

Would never have used military force in libya and that the attack on the u.s. kons late in benghazi was inevitable. >> lets remember what was going on. we had a murderous dictator who had american blood on his hands as im sure you remember, threatening to massacre large numbers of the libyan people. we had our closest allies in europe burning up the phone lines begging us to help them try to prevent when they saw as a mass genocide in their words and we had the arabs standing by our side saying,...

Our sides saying, we want you to help us deal with gadhafi. our response, which i think was smart power at its best, is that the united states will not leave this. we will provide essential unique capabilities that we have, but the europeans and the arabs had to be first over the line. we did not put one single american soldier on the ground in libya. and ill say this for the libyan people -- >> american citizens did lose their lives in benghazi. >> ill get to that. but i think its important, si...

That maybe they should come home, maybe they should start working with the united states to rectify the situation. >> secretary clinton, on the campaign trail, governor webb said he wouldnt have used force in libya and the attack was inevitable. should you have seen that coming? >> lets remember what was going on. we had a murderous dictator, ka gaddy with american blood on his hands threatening to massacre large numbers of the libyan people. we had our closest allies in europe burning up the ph...

Take over what they started. >> good question. i think if we just look back over the last ten years, there are some really good instances of how taking out the leadership has worked. if you look at dictatorships, how did it work with gadhafi? how did it work with saddam hussein? probably not very well. how did it work with insurgent leaders like osama bin laden? al qaeda is still thriving on the arabian peninsula. so all i say is mullah omar is a good example of where an organization might fract...

Make sure an accident doesnt happen, make sure we have open lines of communication. make sure that russia knows what our position is on this. we communicate our displeasure and we try to say, this is not something we feel. is there a military solution do this? there isnt a military solution. >> laura? >> i think its interesting to listen to senator paul. because hes reflecting what donald trump said with you last night in the interview when he talked about foreign policy. gadhafi. he said that b...

>> i think he was a disaster. and i think it was one of the worst decisions ever made. he has totally destabilized the middle east. had saddam hussein still been in charge, you wouldnt have the problems that you have right now. i mean if you had gadhafi, if you had saddam hussein, look at the migration. now theyre talking about taking 200,000 people -- you know what thats costing? billions of dollars, over a ten-year period. youre talking about billions and billions of dollars, talking about tak...

Saddam hussein and we saw the chaos that ensued thereafter. we saw the result now today which is islamic extremists have overrun that country. fast forward to president obama and secretary of state hillary clinton who made a decision not to pursue islamic extremists, but attacked and over threw gadhafi in libya. the result, a country overrun with islamic extremists today. so my point about whats happening in syria. my point about the mistaken focus of the administration on removing assad, rather...
