ladies and gentlemen
we got on
other happy de beers down those adopted so right now hollow we have not gotten
qaddafi captured yet
but it appears that he has lost control tripoli
two older sons are gone meetings i've all islam
and two other sons uh... are actually been captured
then we've got companies spend tustin awards still apparently fighting
so couples sons up their and couples on the chain while the sun mccain said
meet know i've been with the libyan people all-time one is a warning that i
didn't know that
not are not always been for freedom
the five hundred pauline birthday
his prime minister is already prime minister
has already flooded tunisia
and that people in danger like we don't know why he showed up here leticia you
know why it because he had to give a lot of triplet bouquet prisons over
over the eight qaddafi's dot
who is a man who supported libya policy
well was no one else it
faces keogh money when i was just a quick look here
the leader of the senses the position of the no-fly zone
bios in congress with
voted for it
examine the limited scope of it yes but i would agree to it
is very concerned usually
become part of our most people watch this show no
and a lot of heat from progresses well not really progresses but from democrats
but it looks like the only pick and choose really supporting it
fairly wholeheartedly on the substance of this state
uh... supports that story wild overspending i'm sure other people
support of my did as well
but ad with a lot of people in this coming out and say that is good policy
ballerina
ice world mama
on libya you know why
not because i like go bomb or i don't like a woman out there like democrats or
republicans it's because i'd pose the right policy now at the time you
remember a lot of liberals and although we can't do it is not the right way to
go to concern is that all we've got to go in harder john mccain et cetera say
we've got to be leading et-cetera and i said look it's a balanced approach is
that actually a middle-of-the-road approach but it depends on what the
situation is and in this case amid all the road approach make sense
i didn't want ground troops in there because they don't work they become
counterproductive
on the other hand
i hope i thought it was a good idea to send a message to dictators out more
oppressor on people
that'd be going to go to crush 'em and kill them
that we will come for you and we did and i thought it made sense to do it
with a group of allies
all of that turned out to be correct bilateral qaddafi said
he said that he was going to have no mercy and nobody
for any of the rebels in the city would go quote
thestreet industry allie allie
house to house own room to room
basically meaning telling everybody
that was a postal
well we had to do something i thought we did something smart maybe we were right
now why was i convince that we could knock out qaddafi would just airpower
and by helping the rebels
well i also explained that many months ago watch this
qaddafi at our world of trouble
summer saying
that his resources that is military is down twenty percent but what it used to
be
you know what that means
he's running out of
money
i pull your from the beginning
the war is about supplies
and that means
you know whether its military supplies but most importantly
in today's then age
financial supplies
you have enough our finances to be able to carry through the war remember
qaddafi's army is makes mainly emerson a rearm
so here's what the birthday stop doing once you're out of money
they stop fighting
i gotta be honest with you is obnoxious as it is
mac and a lot of
you know why
because
you couldn't tell he doesn't have a base of support so for example even saddam he
had this soon-yi's and so it was much harder taking saddam out
and we went in there of course with a great number of ground troops
tedium out in the beginning was easy desirable or
firepower overwhelms them
but remember how long the insurgency took
because there was a sizable group of iraqis
who didn't wanna lose that power
that qaddafi was relying on mercenaries all along that means he has no decent
internal base of support
in fact that was proven what's the rebels got the trampoline this qaddafi
and others should be saying the so-called as we said to say
although qaddafi's got a real basin troubling
but it turns out he didn't at all
seems like there's a story out today about how dentist came out of the rivals
i'm going to get him youth apprentice enjoy the fight now but you see the
people in tripoli are celebrating their work never on qaddafi sign
that's why he had to use mercenaries and as soon as you start running out of my
amani and it looks like you're about to lose you hated tipping point
does mercenaries one for the elves
and that's exactly what's happened that's why qaddafi lost that's why ano
balmy administration position on this was correct
actually vindicated today
other of all of this that's fine with that
sucked dot com
of course not of course not ito wrote victory with no ground troops
but the fact is that i was not enough
john mccain and now lindsey graham have sent out a letter
and here's what it says quote
and then this can be proud of the role our country has played in helping to
defeat qaddafi okay good
but
we regret that this success was so long in coming
knew the failure of the united states employ the full weight
of our her power
in other words
no matter how right no bombing got it
it doesn't matter had that and on the day that he's proven right we're gonna
blame then anyway
stopped
yet he won but he kind of one so much
you know that he could've won
but earlier if you just listen to us
we did that the republicans want him credit on that i didn't see that coming
look at my intend i wanna emphasizes cuz i think this is really important
this is an about
personalities this isn't about a cult of personality
is known about
that team play for me okay
it's not about whether i like or who don't like a bomb or the parties
you've got to end i'm saying this offer my supper for all of you you've got to
analyze every issue on its own merits
you can go in there blinded by who you think you like or what do you think your
honor
uh... it was a tough call obviously on libya given that
it was a lot of internal support in the bowling
show that as well immediately to police on ur fifty percent within the first
week of our efforts there but if it makes sense you support it doesn't
matter who's in power
