Benghazi and what happened in i was saying for many months before we actually saw the use of force in libya that this was beyond the extremes of a presidential, unilateral exercise of power from anything we had seen just to begin with. youre going to have problems when you have this very vague -- >> we helped in kind of an international effort -- >> when the president, on his own initiative, without coming to the congress, there were no treaties, we were not under attack, we were not under immin...

Want to just read a quote from the book. it also struck me this was very prescient with the establishment of the benghazi select committee which just happened to happen. in the book she says, "a regrettable amount of misinformation, speculation and flat-out deceit by some in politician and the media. but new information from a number of reputable sources continues to expand our understanding of these events." strikes me that that is a good prebuttal, thats good information to have out there base...

This, an 8% job approval rating. gadhafi had a 15% job approval rating and those are among the people who killed him. >> well, i mean, thats a damning comparison. im wondering when they have such low opinions of congress, they lump republicans in with that or are they now of a mindset that you keep saying everything is hunky-dory and were tired of it because its not hunky-dory. so at the very least were open to change. >> owning thing the public dislikes more than republicans are democrats. make...

On top of secret tunnels and underground facilities. gadhafis enormous compound. and on august 23rd, 2011, it fell to the rebels. gadhafi and his family having fled. ♪ >> this is whats left of gadhafis palace. ♪ >> so whens the last time you were here? >> last time, the revolution. revolution is finished. the people always have their guns. after then, listening about

Someone chipped off all their dicks, not that i was looking. anywhere else in the world, this place would be overrun with tourists. but look, no one. youre free to wander as you wish. quite a backdrop, you know? youre seeing a little dinner theater production of "our town" a couple of thousand years ago. not bad. the only other visitors today are a troop of libyan boy scouts. bizarrely enough, gadhafi himself was once a scout and this was one of the only organizations allowed to remain independe...

Captured the entire incident. >> he filmed it from the very start. and he said do you want to -- >> [ yelling in foreign language ]. >> the footage, graphic and disturbing, shows gadhafi, wounded, bleeding, and being beaten by an angry mob. rebels cry "god is great." >> allahu akbar! >> stumbling and disoriented the libyan leader appears to ask for mercy as he is dragged, punched, and stabbed repeatedly. rebels hold guns to gadhafis head. >> they call him a dog and an animal, and theyre saying h...

United states needs to have a strong response but cant lose sight of the rest of the world. >> lets talk about the long-term implications, the topic, nuclear disarmament, its interesting of course that ukraine was something of a poster child for nuclear disarmament and agreed to surrender its arsenal in a promise for protection, the u.s. and uk and russia were supposed to protect its territorial sovereignty. do you think the recent events and inability of the international community to live up t...
