muammar qaddafi appears to be, as hillary clinton said, out of the picture. waiting for confirmation from the u.s. government on that and our intelligence sources as was she. we ll be right back with more. gun gun. ten of em. perfect. add blind spot monitor. 43 mpg, nice. dependability. yeah. activate dog. a bigger dog. [ male announcer ] introducing the reinvented 2012 toyota camry. it s ready. are you?
reporter: it s an excellent question, and we asked the defense secretary about this two days ago, and in particular the, what are referred to as man pads. they are shoulder-held missiles that can bring down commercial airplanes. and he said he was very concerned about reports that some of those missiles had ended up in the sinai desert, had crossed into egypt. that, obviously, worries officials in israel, and now pentagon officials have sent people out to actually try and locate those missiles. but there were 20,000 of them at the height of when gadhafi was, had these stores under his control. martha: yeah. obviously, that is a huge concern. the man pads which were mentioned by john bolton earlier and securing them will become one of the most important follow-up missions as we watch this process unfold. jennifer griffin, thank you very much. bill: my next guest has been invaluable in helping us understand is significance of
series of details. it means that the transitional national council gave or didn t give instructions to keep him alive for the trial. that is going to be very important, the fact that he was shot in the leg, then shot in the head after having confirmed that he was captured means that the decision was that there will be no qaddafi in the courts and here the question is why. maybe because qaddafi knows a lot of things, including about the insurgency, including about the international involvement everywhere. many in libya would have liked to have seen qaddafi tried for the crimes he committed but it seems that now the decision was that he would not see a tribunal. martha: that s very interesting. and i don t know if we re ever going to know the answer to that question, as to whether or not these people who actually killed him in the end, and we also have the reports of the nato strike on two vehicles, so we don t know if there s a connection between those two events yet. i would imagine th

remains how qaddafi s followers in libya will respond now some might say he has been made a martyr. bill: that from john bolton last hour. pentagon, department of state, white house is all lined up now. when that breaks here we ll bring it to you. meantime martha has more on all that. martha: for more on this let s talk a little bit about the political ramifications here at home. chris stirewalt, joins me, fox news digital editor. good morning. martha: i touched on this with ed henry and we are going to hear from president obama around 4:00 this afternoon when he comes out. no doubt he will get questions on this. one of the big issues we need to mention we don t know who has real responsibility for the killing of muammar qaddafi if indeed he is dead. could have been forces on the ground, libyan revolutionaris. they are taking credit for it. we also know there was a nato operation. talk to me a little bit how president obama comes out in all this. here s the thing. this war, there h
