sarkozy ironically would look the beater on this he was the one who kept us from over flying the planes when we lost two. there are french special operation guys and british air ground patrollers that they talk about. it would be very ironic if it turns out moammar qaddafi goes on the very anniversary the 14th of april the day we attacked them 25 years ago. the 8th anniversary in iraq. are you worried about what follows? i am a bit concerned. we don t know who the rebels are. geraldo my time at the national security council like oliver north with reagan mine with clinton. a major lesson i learned was the military often can stop a
here is a sound byte of what he told the nation that night. today we have done what we had to do. if necessary we shall do it again. it gives me no pleasure to say that and i wish it were otherwise. when our citizens are abused or attacked anywhere in the world on the direct orders of a hostile regime we will respond so long as i m in this oval office, despite our repeated warnings moammar gadhafi continued his reckless policy of inch tiintimidation, his relents pursuit of terror. he counted on america to be passive. he counted wrong. he did count wrong. interestingly enough, when you think about the left, the left is so against us drilling for oil in the united states of america. would we be in this mess right now in the middle east where we are trying to defend the people there against those regimes, would we be in this situation today if indeed we could drill
my real issue is it appears the administration was undecided indecisive of whether to do this or not. it indicates to me how i felt. this was not any this was not a national security interest worth the cost of this type of intervention. in my mind early decisive action would have meant a naval blockade. i think their own coming to this position indicates they weren t so sure we should even do it. therefore i think we have got an end to something we don t know what the next step is as qaddafi survives. you want to weigh in on why did he survive? i think every military order that is issued as a situation is issued logistics say five very
the second steve meyer ceas declared qaddafi the first one was a total sham. are you hearing anything about the second one being legit? we heard that second cease fire. we heard the anti aircraft going off here. it doesn t make much sense to us at all. we have been talking about the mood change. there is a huge mood change in the east among those rebels. it is dra traumatic from the we criticizing them to thanking them. a week ago people were saying qaddafi won it is over. it is outside of benghazi. what is in their way? this is 600 mile desert strip desert road. if you have air power the rebels you have at their back what is
viewers can relate to that. he put a hit out on you. this is the man who was behind the bombing in 1998 of pan am flight 103 over lockerbie, scotland. the list of terrorist acts that this man is behind goes on and on. in particular he targeted americans. he s not afraid to do it. as recently as friday he came out and said he s going to do it again. if we do the no-fly zone and go after him and libya civilians will be the targets and american civilians in particular will be the targets. should we take him at his words? absolutely you take him at his word therefore we go back to barack obama and this press conference he s about ready to have. is the press conference going to be we re protecting the citizens of libya that we don t really want to take moammar gadhafi out? you know, this whole situation, the end game ends up, you either take him out and kill him, there in libya or you in fact have him move to a country he can live the rest of his life in without
