Its becoming an idealogical battle, and its becoming a battle that has nothing to do with who is going to do a good job, and its a very important position because this is a very important moment for u.s. foreign policy. i think obama has done a great job at setting a stage for a new kind of multi-lateralism for the u.s. as a partner in the world, and who he picks really matters. >> it matters what the public thinks of that person. susan rice is probably someone nobody knew who she was. >> some p...

Appropriate way, which is to have broad american power to bear, up-front, in order to help have the minimal risk to pilots and to our armed forces, to put the no-fly zone into place, to show american power and capacity, but then, why wouldnt we want the allies with whom we worked so hard to develop this thing called nato and to keep it alive, why wouldnt we want it to show its ability to be able to lead? and i think this represents a new set of possibilities for multi-lateralism, for engagement....

The burdens with other countries, they spent a lot of time today talking about how were sharing the costs, but i think as a practical matter, if were going to have nato involved, the united states needs to step up a little bit more and take a leadership role. i think we can get the turks in the end, but it has been wrangling with the french and british. multi lateralism is not only not easy to say, it is not easy to do, but has great advantages, but it is not as smooth and simple as the united s...

Harder. one of the problems is they want the advantages of burden sharing, in other words, sharing the burdens with other countries, they spent a lot of time today talking about how were sharing the costs, but i think as a practical matter, if were going to have nato involved, the united states needs to step up a little bit more and take a leadership role. i think we can get the turks in the end, but it has been wrangling with the french and british. multi lateralism is not only not easy to say,...

You may recall liberals were quick to criticize president george w. bushs actions in afghanistan and iraq. by comparison not only did bush acquire the necessary congressional approval before attacking either nation. he also had several dozen more international allies in his corner. here with reaction the host of varney and company on the -- fox business network and dana perino. he went to congress. he got approval. how many nations did he have by his side and we were told we with going it alone?...

Public will follow the presidents lead initially in this overseas action against gadhafi. editorial pages and those who dictate public opinion on these matters all agree gadhafi should be deposed. the larger problem the president has is the one that senator luger alluded to, perhaps not as much in the clip that you showed right there, which is the lack of definition to the purpose of this mission. the real purpose is to get rid of gadhafi. president obama must get rid of gadhafi if hes going to ...

You get the impression and in general the entire world has coalesced around this objective of getting rid of gadhafi. the down side is that you give up the mrajts to leadership. president obama should want to lead this, but he keeps pulling back. and i think that tension between multi lateralism and our desire to be in the lead is causing not only confusion militarily, but confusion in the eye of the public and i think that does not help the president. he has not spoken to the public with what y...
