Arab street. the potential for civilian deaths and the strain on our military. georgia state representative bobby franklin posted on facebook this is nothing but pure evil. how would we like it if other countries launched attacks upon these united states because of our regime war? on our unborn? then there was florida congressman alan west. >> i dont know why were shooting $567,000 in cruz missiles at libya. back two or three weeks ago we could have taken care of this situation. if we had done t...

Its not too late to let us know what you think. tonights text question is do you support military action against libya? text a for yes. text b for no. to 622639. or go to our new blog at ed.msnbc.com. well get results coming up. the longer the u.s. participates in air strikes in libya the more the united states will spend on the attacks. some estimates already put a billion dollar price tag on this mission. ill share my thoughts with you when we come back on the cost and where do we go in here? ...

He actually had a coalition? im with the president on this one and i think if it is defined the way he says it is, limited in scope, this actually could be a situation where we dont hear from gadhafi for a long, long time. so what i think is going to happen is that were going to have a libya with gadhafi. he might survive this. and then were going to have a country with rebels who want democracy. this is all about democracy, people wanting freedom. im with the president on this one. as i said, i...

Sense on principle. while republicans tend to hew much more to some kind of weird party line. i think what were seeing here is a desperate need for an assessment of u.s. policy. its not just the hypocrisy within the parties but this kind of bigger bipartisan hypocrisy that sees us right now intervening in libya but not in bahrain but not in yemen where u.s. backed regimes are firing on their own people with u.s. weapons. what about the morality there? >> what about congressman kucinich? he and o...

Decade in afghanistan, go supplemental war funding after supplemental war funding and the republicans are all there but all of a sudden we have a democrat in the white house who goes through the diplomatic channels, who goes through the ill give it to you this way, the dog and pony show of getting a coalition, a real coalition, even lets the french go in first and take the first shot at the libyans but, you see, no. its just too expensive. the republicans have no credibility when it comes to mon...

Screwed gadhafi over a piece of land in a deal. turns out trump isnt telling us the whole truth. my commentary on this off the top. tonight this country is in its third conflict. were going to get in double figures before this is over with. congress is asking questions. the american people are confused. i think some americans are. and theres no end game in sight. thats what is so ominous about all of this. coalition air strikes pounded libya for the third straight night as rebels advanced on pro...

Why? because he didnt do it your way? he didnt go far enough? he actually had a coalition? im with the president on this one and i think if it is defined the way he says it is, limited in scope, this actually could be a situation where we dont hear from gadhafi for a long, long time. so what i think is going to happen is that were going to have a libya with gadhafi. he might survive this. and then were going to have a country with rebels who want democracy. this is all about democracy, people wa...

People in egypt were able to resolve it without our military intervention. the people of other countries have done so. i think weve got to be very careful about u.s. military intervention, humanitarian wars, whatever you want to call it. we cant afford it and its also very dangerous. people have the ability to strive to create democracies. we can support that morally but when we start doing it militarily, things start to change very quickly and we are going to see that the libya that we think we...

The world here and it is a very important one. >> great to have you with us tonight. great discussion. appreciate your input. thank you. remember to answer tonights question at the bottom of your screen. i want to know what you think. the al qaeda connection. what does the war in libya mean for terrorism here? at what price? every tomahawk we fire costs nearly $1.5 million. ill tell you what i think of the economic impact of going into libya. and questions of constitutionality. the white house i...

I think the terrorism fears such as it is right now is that if gadhafi can consolidate authority, can regain control over his country, he may pick a time and place of his choosing to respond to what the international community and the west has done. if thats the long-term threat, thats what the administration needs to worry about. >> that is what president obama is saying is that the policy of the united states is to remove gadhafi, that he has to go. that was the comment. it figures. thank you....
