>> one final question. its a question i asked nicholas kristof as well. would it be in the u.s. national interest to simply take out gadhafi right now, have him killed, for example? >> i think it would be in our interest. i think weve shown in the past that is a much more difficult proposition than it initially appears. i would focus my attention on trying to change the battle equation in whatever ways that i could so that the people of libya are not continuing to be massacred. i want to emphasi...

Situation already unfolding. enexplore, as the secretary of state has said, all other options. >> including arming the rebels? >> i think we have to assess that situation. there is a provisional government thats being formed up in benghazi now. the first step would be recognition of the government. and then i think we would have to assess how quickly we could get the weapons, what they need. i dont think theres any doubt right now that theyre being outgunned, wolf. >> so you would recognize the ...

Propositions, very courteous and didnt get any special treatment, as it, as a female journalist but its interesting how much pros imwe can get to colonel gadhafi. went out in green square and waved to the crowd and all the time just a few centimeters away from him and climbing up on this wall in green square and with him when he got in the car and the security levels were quite interesting, actually, not what you would expect from a head of state or not from a leader in his position at the momen...

What, what didnt happen in tunisia, what didnt happen in egypt, the militaries in those two countries basically refusing to kill fellow countrymen. >> right. >> in libya thats not necessarily the case and maybe other leaders will learn that lesson, as well. >> well, and other people who want to revolt for their freedom will probably learn if you cant win for sure, you better be careful. >> yeah, all right, jack see you tomorrow. thanks very, very much.

No-fly zone? remember, years after no-phone line zones operations in iraq, the u.s. still had to go to war to get saddam hussein out of power. >> a lot of us remember the 1986 air strike against libya. one fighter jet, two crew members were lost. >> absolutely. u.s. air force, f1-11 plane was shot down. he said bob gates is right. this will be combat. dont think it will be easy. dont think its just flying over libya and telling them not to launch the fighter jets. there be a price to pay. >> wel...

Sending him not only to portugal, but to greece and malta as well. they want him to go to other countries. this is this libyans making outreach to try to get their message heard. so its clear the international heat is having an effect. they want to get their voice heard in the international community again, wolf. >> nic robertson on the scene for us as he has been for the several weeks. thanks very much. nick is in tripoli. there are other signs pro-gadhafi forces are gain on the battlefield. an...

Times in the interview with me. he said these are al qaeda. al qaeda sleeper cell operating in the country which he hadnt been aware of and he actually called for the west to show more support and solidarity with him, with libya in fight is these al qaeda fighters, and that was quite a surreal experience but that was the line he was sticking to and not budging from that. >> nick kristof wrote about that last week in the "new york times" when he invited female journalists back in the 80s and 90s ...

>> reporter: post says gadhafi is getting more isolated, and in those circumstances he says gadhafis visceral response is to strike out against superior force and show his bravery which is why hes saying america and the european powers are interfering in libya. wolf, we can expect more of this in the coming days. >> i assume your wife. thanks very much. pentagon chiefs are warning allied forces would have to attack libya to impose a no-fly zone. well hear about it from someone who has been the...

Gadhafi has given the world good reason to believe hes unstable, that hes brutal, possibly delusional. we asked our own brian todd to take a closer look into his mind. i know youre speaking with experts. what are you learning? >> well, wolf, moammar gadhafi gave a speech that was aired today in libya where he again tried to rally supporters and get those who have defected to come back into the fold. he played into their fears, made threats and talked of conspiracies and the rants reflect a man a...
