already know. there is no resolution. the action has been taken. it's in stone, taken. >> correct. >> bill: so, barack obama has to live with the results i say this is much more upside for the president than downside. >> it is. if it doesn't go well, he may find himself challenge from antiwar left and primary challenge which could definitely hurt him by the democratic vote. if this drags on that could happen. >> bill, when i laid out that scenario that's a gigantic if. this is a very, very precarious rolling of the dice here. >> i disagree with that. >> there are two outstanding questions, bill. number one, who exactly are these libyan rebels? >> bill: nobody knows who they are. >> let me give you a downside. >> bill: no. no let me challenge her. >> the people defending could be as loathe some bill women a terrorist in there killed 1 0
he needs to explain what the end game is. >> bill: there is no end game right now. >> send people into harm's way. we have to know that. >> there isn't any definition, colmes. >> i agree with you. we need to have that definition. we need to have definition. the minute you take military action. >> bill: you want him to make it up? >> we can't answer the question about whether it's going to effect him politically as you pointed you out. we don't know how it's going to end up crowley says. >> i actually agreed with her a little bit. >> bill: this could help president obama if it turns out well. >> that's correct. displu say you don't know? >> if it turns out the problem is we don't know how it's going to turn out. we don't know when it's time for us to leave. >> bill: this isn't "hannity & colmes." this is the factor. >> thanks for the clarification. >> bill: i shouldn't have insulted "hannity & colmes." it was a great show. you are telling people what they
>> bill: once they find out where this came from. >> right. >> bill: and there are hundreds involved, right? >> hundreds of girls names and boys. >> hundreds. this is huge. >> started on blackberry and spread out on facebook. >> huge. >> bill: hundreds of schools and federal offense if it goes across state lines. whoever did this is in huge trouble, right? >> but, criminally, it would be a big long stretch to charge this criminally because the cyber bullying laws, you know are very, very weak. new york -- connecticut doesn't even have one. new york says if it's on school property, well then it can be cyber bullying, come on, cyber bullying never happens. >> bill: it doesn't cross state line. >> interstate. what are you going to do? international -- >> bill: i don't know, you tell me. did they break the law by posting names and posting descriptions next to the names, you know, demeaning denigrating these kids? did they break the law? >> not criminally. it is a big stretch.
why do you believe they were in danger? some people don't. >> well, we have been monitoring human rights conditions in libya for many, many years. i think we have issued more publications, more research, nor analysis on the human rights conditions on libya than just about anyone else. we are aware of the very, very serious situation on the ground. libyans government is one of the most repressive in the world. there are no freedoms whatsoever really. and we have seen the government use a very harsh hand against those who come up against it or criticize it. they are disappearances, torture, execution, arbitrary arrest. prolonged detentions without trial. sham trials. and, of course, as we seen very recently in february. shooting at point blank against those who are peacefulfully protesting. >> bill: so is he a monster, you know it and i know it i hope people watching will be convinced of that. now, there is also a terror component here. you know the 190 americans who
>> as they say in mel brook's movie the producers be brutal. we hope you consider premium membership because it is fun and you get inside stuff on the no-spin news segment. this friday we will be doing the factor from palm beach, florida. the party is at trump's place mar-a-lago. he will be there. you can be too. very good cause. we hope to see you in florida friday. >> now the mail: >> bill: correct, i didn't claim it was the reason. i said i support the removal of qadhafi by military means because he is a terrorist.
president nixon's veto to get this passed. they can say to the president you have to get authorization. and if you don't you just have to go bomb libya. come back to us and get authorization. otherwise, have you got to get the troops out within 60 days. so now barack obama has to withdraw the troops no matter what the situation on the ground because of the war powers act. sorry, everyone. >> bill: that's not going to happen. >> bill: i think the president would be wise when he gets back from el salvador where he is now, i have a very fond memories of that i will tell you about them some day. >> i can tell by the flare. >> bill: i almost was buried in el salvador. pretty vicious war down there. it is an interesting league quell it will be interesting to see when he comes back if he does go to congress and say look, we had to do it. it was urgent. people going to get slaughtered. i think congress probably would give him authority to do it? >> authorizations for the iraq and afghanistan war. >> bill: we know how that turned out. whoa. megyn kelly, everybody. there she is. plenty more as the factor moves along this evening. the far left hates the libyan
obama, is operating under their authority not american authority. >> right. but he. >> bill: any validity to. >> that authors under the united nations. and the answer to that is no. >> bill: no. >> again, is he not the president to do this. >> bill: can't hide behind the u.n. >> no. harry truman did this too. can i go into korea even though i don't have congressional authorization because the u.n. says i can and that is how -- >> bill: who ruled harry was wrong? >> nobody. that's my point. is that presidents have gotten away with this for decades. >> bill: you, megyn kelly just said you can't hide behind the u.n. >> how does the united nations square up with the u.s. congress? they are not the u.s. congress. >> bill: because the united nations is an international body and we are a member of that body. >> we are jumping forward to 1973 and thereafter, we have a law in this country that says our president has to get authorization from our congress. our congress is not synonymous with the united nations. >> bill: the court may have to litigate this at some time because barack obama is going to
died on board panam jet over lockerbie. traced back to libyan terrorists. one man was convicted as you know. does human rights watch get involved with this terrorism stuff? because i say to my audience, the reason i support this action on behalf of the united states, and it is costing us a tremendous amount of money, is because qaddafi is a terrorist. and he needs to be taken into custody and held accountable for what he did on that panam incident. does human rights watch measure that? >> we absolutely measure terrorism. and counter terrorism. and we judge both by the standards of international law, international humanitarian law. terrorism is any attack against civilians, typically politically motivated. and it is something we condemn in the strongest terms. there is never any justification to attack a civilian for any reasons whatsoever. politically motivated or otherwise. >> bill: when you see somebody
americans. i don't see the big downside here. i don't see it as all. if it doesn't go well in the sense that the worst thing that could happen is qaddafi sits on his butt in tripoli and he doesn't get out of there that's the worst case scenario. >> stalemate. >> bill: then you just say all right. we will go up once in a while. we will have the qatar planes go up. french planes go up. not do much. sit off the coast. >> o'reilly, you would have the united states of america stake its credibility on this action and cut and run. >> bill: not running anywhere. keeping them on the carrier. >> two bad options here. if this turns out badly, number one you have impasse and stalemate. >> bill: not good but not a disaster. >> pass it off to the arab league and they do nothing. number two, he seems to be setting a precedent, obama moo here we are going to intervene at the hands of a dictator.
>> bill: you can go to iraq and walk around. you couldn't do that. >> you can't walk around very much right now. >> bill: let's back to -- >> -- it's hard to engineer another country's liberation. people have to liberate themselves. unfortunately many people get killed in history in liberating themselves. >> bill: would you have been willing to stand by with ralph nader and michael moore and watch those libyans be slaughtered? would you have been willing to do that. >> i have not been standing by. i personally was arrested in the libyan industry for taking down qaddafi's picture. i have been with the people of libya. but i think it's wrong to send in bombs. i don't think it's going to help. i don't think we're going to see a liberated libya if it's not done by the people itself. >> bill: i hope you are wrong. i hope we get qaddafi out thereof and that country has a nice better future. >> i hope libyans do it themselves. thank you. >> bill: rich new york suburb a smut list posted on the net branding hundreds of boys and girls as promiscuous.
