honore joining us from new orleans. ed henry traveling with the u.s. president, what do you have for us, new information? >> reporter: well, i've been pressing various senior u.s. officials for some sort of confirmation that they were either targeting gadhafi's compound or have, in fact, hit it. obviously nic can see what he can see with his own eyes. senior u.s. officials are sort of hedging on whether they were directly targeting the compound, et cetera. but one senior u.s. official when i asked, are more bombs coming, this official stressed to me, it's ongoing, this official said, quote, we are hitting him very hard. the bottom line is various senior u.s. officials close to the administration are saying that they're stepping this up here in these next couple of days because, as we've been hearing separately from other officials on the record, the president wants u.s.'s lead role to be out in days, not weeks.

mission or the fact that we're letting the french and the british take the lead? >> the definition of the mission, we used to relish leading the free world. now it's almost like leading the free world is an inconvenience. i want to be a good partner. i want the arab world, the young arabs and young iranians see us as a strong effective partner in their hope and dreams for being free and i think the president has caveated this almost way too much. it's almost like it's a nuisance. one of the reasons there will be congressional support here is that the president has taken the time to put the world community together, to get the world community to say to gadhafi, this slaughter must stop. that is not true in those other countries, and it's a very important fact. >> did president obama wait too long on the u.n. to wait? >> he waited too long, there is no doubt in my mind about it. but now it is what it is, and we need now to support him and efforts that our military are

heritage foundation, brian darling. >> good morning. >> brian, start with you. military action i know it's an international coalition pretty much led by the united states, but the president of the united states is in brazil. should he be in washington? >> oh, he should be in washington. he should not be in brazil. this may be an important trip, but this is not the time to be going to brazil and doing this latin american tour. he's got this use of force in libya. and it's one of the most important decisions a president will ever make. we still have an emerging crisis in japan, he should be here looking over that and seeing how we can help the japanese, but also, he still hasn't solved our continuing resolutions problem, our budget problems the remainder of this year. with all of these undone issues, he should be in washington. >> there are a lot of people who think that way, but doug, you don't. you think it's okay he's gone right now. >> i think the issue is leadership not where he is. we live in interdependent world, we have important

libya, reporters included who said, he just needed a -- he was just ready to go. and then there was this two-week delay while we waited for the u.n. to do something. did president obama wait too long on the u.n. to act? >> he waited too long. there is no doubt in my mind about it. but now it is what it is. we need now to support him and the efforts that our military are going to make and i regret that we didn't act much more quickly and we could have. but that's not the point now. the point now is let's get behind this effort and do everything we can to support it. i say to my friends in the congress who are nervous about another intervention, i'm confident we can prevail. and i'm confident that if we hadn't have taken this action that the consequences of failure would have reverberated for years. >> up next, we'll get reaction from two former top officials, former centcom commander admiral william fallon and former joint chiefs chairman.
