It cost us a lot of money, the high estimate is $2 billion, the low estimate is a couple of million dollars. but -- >> starts adding up to real money. >> tofor a nation 13 trillion i debt yeah, it stated the one goal that president obama made in his speech was to prevent a g genocide in libya. we did it to save those people who gadhafi had threatened to kill. that establishes a principle throughout the middle east that nato and the u.s. has established this humanitarian right to protect people n...
