he joins us now. ambassador john bolton. tough news we are reporting. and as you look at it. and the money going in. it feels that this effort has become disjoint. we are not hearing it from the president or joint chiefs of staff. our policy is incoherent. the fighting in misrata is intense, house to house, very difficult for air power alone to have a real impact on. we have seen this announcement of the non-lethal aid. we have seen announcements the british and french will put trainers or cord nay towards on the ground which suggests people understand that the opposition is not making headway against moammar qaddafi. at best we are in a stalemate. and the rebel position is so precarious. that would be a strategic
innocent civilians. we need to go after him. we need to end that regime. and equally or more important we have to identify pro american, pro western leaders in this rag tag opposition so in a post-moammar qaddafi libya we don t turn it over to al qaeda or other enemies of the united states and go from bad to worse. martha: he said we must go in there. this is a humanitarian disaster. 20-some children were killed in misrata. you ask yourself where is the humanitarian defense of these people, the reason we tbhents there in the first place. and you are talking about what many would call nation building. the humanitarian mission by definition can only be accomplished by removing moammar qaddafi. if he remains in power, they remain at risk.
martha: we are reporting the death of one u.s. working journalist in that sphere. misrata goes back and forth every day. i think misrata is going to fall in the near future. i m surprised it s held out this long. does the country divide into two pieces where moammar qaddafi is so strong he can go after benghazi. martha: who is he listening to on all this stuff? there is a lot of speculation he s rinsing to people who advocated the so-called responsibility to protect. what he needs to listen to where the people hoch assess for him the damage he will personally suffer and the u.s. will suffer if we cannot recover qaddafi. martha: thank you very much. it could be the source of energy, a new source of energy for our country. it s right here on american
yemen. jon: in jordan today, hundreds protesting islamic hundreds of protesting islamic hardliners, i shall say, clashing are supporters of jordan s king, dozens wounded outside of capitol of amman in these battle, the crowd facing off with a group loyal to king abdullah, the extremist movement is trying to assert itself, at times beating government supporters with clubs and fists, and both sides, throwing rocks at each other. in libya, a defiant message from moammar qaddafi s daughter, aisha, addressing crowds from her father s compound in tripoli, saying nato forces will not drive him out. that compound, badly damaged, exactly 25 years ago today, when u.s. war planes bombed it. and now, forces loyal to qaddafi reportedly opening fire on rebels outside ajdabiya while nato air strikes continue. conor powell is live in benghazi. what s the latest on the
smoke throughout tripoli, including areas near the port. it s been a place where nato has focused some of its firepower in the last few weeks. now as you also said, there were state tv showed video of moammar qaddafi in the streets of tripoli today. one thing we heard, and it s not confirmed, but there are reports that some of the strikes happened near moammar qaddafi s house. that might be one of the reasons why they were showing this video, to prove that moammar qaddafi is alive, martha? martha: we ve seen that happen time to time. thank you, conor. now we have to go to breaking news. this is in towson, maryland. it s unfolding live in front of you. we have a window washer who is dangling from the side of the building and they re attempting to rescue him. this is at 800 southerly road. trace is here with us.
