effort backed by united states to rid libya of the lethal stock pile of chemical weapons has been completed after expert destroyed last match of gadhafi's arsenal in a remote libyan desert last week, a similar effort to destroy syria's chemical weapons lags schedule. and united states and eopean union reportedly working on a aid package for ukraine. which is realing from two months of massive antigovnment protests, ukraine's president rejecting a trade deal with european uon, back in november, that set off nationwide demonstrations. and instead, he accepted a 15 billion dollar lone package from russia to keep ukraine, if you will in the sphere of russian influence, secretary of state kerry admitted that bomg' obama

administration's policy is failing and needs to change. joining usow, lieutenant colonel ralph peters, let's start with this bizarre dance that the obama administration is conducting on the ukraine. initially threatening sanctions against the ukraine to and their expressiono stap stablelize, now joining with europe to tro to do something to bring ukraine into the e.u. sphere. what is going on? >> first of all, all of your viewers have to understand ukraine a fate truly matters. putin wants it back in the russian fold, you -- if he can grab ukraine again, and wait

until after the olympics he will try, it adds 40 million people, e plaque sea the black sea, pushes russia's borders west toward europe, for putin this is the grand streamg i think priz strategic prize, for obama and the dodge this is an annoyance, they don't want to mess with putin now, meanwhile the people in ukraine have been out subzero temperatures trying to get a grip on freedom, and join europe. lou: and the initial reaction, as i said, by administration the wrong response to that kind of popularric preg of popular will, they have at least adapted to new cirmstaes, syria. that process goes on resuming in two weeks.

what -- what are we likely to see happen? >> when secretary kerry in this closed-door session you referenced, said that syria there -- administration's policy on syria has failed, he committed one of the few unforgive ib septemberunfore givible sins in washington, he told the truth, obama got hit by the bait-and-switch and grabbed it, he went for the -- oh, forget about deaths and massacres we'll just get the chemical weapons out of there, that is a great deal, now the syrians are not giving up the chemical weapons and we're sitting back rubbing our gut ?oos when ars. lou: what are mccain and graham doing this -- in this

chapter? >> they have been strong on interhaven'ttion for a long time, i was at well until ge gee hadis took over. there is problem. massacres. that are ongoing, committed by the jihadis, we just, what do you do about it? if syria does not give up their chemic weapons it time for airstrikes. lou: ralph, you and i agree on most things. but i have to say our adventures in the middle east, have to end at some point. this looks like a very good place to end t there seems to be no good resolution awaiting, airstrikes interventiono our part or any more bluster from this badge, i don't think that world --dministration i don't think that world can put up with any more bravado.

>> myheart is with you, lou. but high head says the obama administration, president specifically made so many halo threats at this point, at some point we need something showing that someone in u.s. is serious. as we knw the end of the day not a bad thing to havure enemies in syria killing each other. >> that a notably attractive strategic option. they would say. >> a shame that people are suffering. lou: it is. a bigger shame that ours would be. >> send in samantha power. lou: as you wish. thank you. >> numrs are in last night's super bowl was a blowoutnd more ways than one, delivering biggest television audience in history, you thought being lopsided would architect the

audience, more than 111 million people tuned in for super bowl xlviii, beating out previous record in 2011. that game between patriots and new york gnts. who won that game? halftime sw starring bruno mars, and red-hot chili peppers seing a record, 115 million viewers, beating out beyonce's performance last year, 114 million, that makes no sense to me either, previous 5 super bowl are new 5 most watched tv programs in american history. >> and as you might expect that record audience on television for super bowl, tore you of the box office for hollywood, universal's ride along took first place for a third weekend. earning only $12.3 million. that brings domestic total box office to $93 million. a good return for a mov that
