in the region, particularly in a place like libya, from president obama famously said that moammar qaddafi must go. >> well, the problem is what we're seeing in libya is a civil war. this isn't truly a democratic movement. we're seeing the tribes fighting each other there. qaddafi's head of one set, and the rebels are the head of another. it's a civil war, and the forces are equally balanced. and if we take a side, why are we taking a side and what are we going to get out of it? what we're really hoping for is that qaddafi himself goes but we're never going to settles that civil war on our terms. >> mitchell: is it too optimistic for people hoping for an arab summer to expect that to happen? >> i think the arab summer we're going to get come ramadan, the holy month, is going to be a very hot summer and it's not going to look anything like an outbreak of democracy. there's going to be continued fighting in yemen, in syria, and probably libya, too. >> mitchell: bob bear, joining us from irvine, california, we thank you so much for your insight. former secretary of state lawrence eagleburger

. >> as many as 6,000 opponents of moammar qaddafi marched through rebelv: held benghazi today. there was increased fighting in other cities. we have the latest. >> heavy shelling by forces loyal to moammar qaddafi halted an attempt by rebels to push forward out of besieged city. the rebels suffered their worst casualties to date. the first fighting since march broke out on the key town on the road to tunisia. the road is qaddafi's supply line and that could cut the libyan capital off to the outside world. the port is useless thanks to the nato blockade which is causing shortages of vital supplies including refined fuel. lines at gas stations stretch for miles. whatever the situation on the battle front, however, the libyan regime never misses a propaganda opportunity. this show was to mark the anniversary of eviction of the u.s. military from what used to be wheelous air base. first used in 1943 it served as a is it a teagueic air command base and nato training center until 1970, the year after qaddafi took power. the thought was simple qaddafi forced them out and now they are

this time, zuma brought moammar qaddafi a clear offer step down and we'll find you and your family a safe haven somewhere in africa. a senior south african government official told cbs news that zuma also promised qaddafi protection from prosecution by the international criminal court. qaddafi's response: libya is under attack by western imperialists who want its oil and if he leaves there will be chaos. zuma reportedly left qaddafi with a cautionary note, that if he does not respond positively within a few days, nato will come after him with a vengeance, which the announcement of the extension of its mission backs up. >> this decision sends a clear message to the qaddafi regime. we are determined to continue our operation to protect the people of libya. >> reporter: a well-placed source within nato said the alliance is planning and budgeting to keep the air campaign going for up to a year if necessary. and even qaddafi's old ally russia has joined the west in calling for him to step down. qaddafi was described by one of the south african delegation as giving the impression of not be

reporter: a second bill would have cut off most of the funding of the mission aimed at forcing moammar qaddafi i believe it is a good thing to get rid of qaddafi. but does america have to do everything? >> i will not be satisfied until all funds are cut off for this operation, no exception. >> reporter: friday's vote which were largely symbolic are seen as a split decision for the president and will have no immediate effect on u.s. involvement in libya. officials in the obama administration are concerned that congress is playing politics with national security and sending mixed messages to qaddafi by not supporting the president. but secretary of state hillary clinton is happy the measure to stop funding the mission did not pass. >> a very important statement was made today that recognizes the need for us to continue this important mission. >> reporter: the president insists he does not need congressional approval since the situation in libya is not a full-scale conflict. but some on capitol hill argue that the war powers act requires him to ask for their approval of military action within 60

> sreenivasan: nato bombers stepped up their air campaign over libya today, hitting close to moammar qaddafi's compound. the air strike hit tripoli in the early morning, and a plume of smoke could be seen above the area around qaddafi's home. the u.s. role in the operation was called into question today by house speaker john boehner. he sent a letter to president obama telling him, by sunday, the administration will be in violation of the war powers resolution, which requires congressional consent for military action beyond 90 days. attackers carried out a well- coordinated raid on an iraqi government compound northeast of baghdad today. a suicide bomber first detonated a car bomb at the entrance to the compound in baqouba. then, gunmen stormed the building's perimeter. nine people, including at least three of the assailants, were killed. also today, the u.s. military announced two american soldiers were killed in operations in southern iraq on monday. the cia is set to begin drone strikes over yemen soon. "the wall street journal" and others reported that today, citing unnamed u.s. officials.

president obama told reporters it's just a matter of time now before moammar qaddafi goes. but in tripoli tonight, allen pizzey tells us the dictator is refusing to give in. >> reporter: dozens of air strikes rocked the libyan capital, sending shock we have as from thunderous blasts across the city. the smoke hanging like a this rod. the raids targeted colonel qaddafi's headquarters, and where the most sustained daytime bombardments the libyan capital has suffered yet. a nato spokesman said the raids were a message to qaddafi that nato means business. in an obvious effort to prove qaddafi is still here and in charge, libyan television showed him with tribal leaders watching a program with today's date on it. earlier, the libyan leader phoned a t.v. show to rail against the bombing. "you cowards will not terrorize the libyan people" qaddafi ranted at nato and he vowed "we shall not surrender, we have only one option, this is our country and we shall not leave it." the problem for nato is that if this doesn't work and qaddafi and his inner circle refuse to give up, what do th

the neighborhood known as souk al-juma has been a focal point of protests against the regime of moammar qaddafi, but for once politics took second place to a rescue effort conducted with little organization and the lot of brute force. this was said to be the body of a woman who lived in the house. the libyan officials who brought us here insist this is a civilian area that was bombed by nato and it certainly has every appearance of being just that. but a man has just sided up to me and murmured another version in my ear. i'm afraid but i'm going to tell you something secret there were anti-aircraft guns behind this building. qaddafi spokesman denied the site had any military connections. >> reporter: the casualty toll was put at 9 dead and 18 injured. journalists were shown five bodies including a baby and toddler. hours later much of the debris had been cleared and the libyans carefully arranged the material that wasn't there initially including these baby items. in a statement nato said its planes targeted what was described as a missile site operated by pro qaddafi forces in tripoli. >> it a

and nato forces began the air campaign against libya's moammar qaddafi, and there's no end in sight.any in congress are running out of patience. chip reid has been working on this at the white house today. >> well, scott, near the end of the vietnam war, congress passed a law known as the "war powers resolution," which essentially says that when a president sends troops overseas into battle, he's got to bring them home within 90 days unless he gets congressional authorization. and sunday is the 90-day deadline for libya. but now the white house has come out with a new report that says the war powers resolution doesn't even apply to libya because the level of hostilities is not high enough to trigger the law. well, some members of congress say that argument is absurd. here's republican speaker john boehner. >> we're spending $10 million a day in part of an effort to drop bombs on qaddafi's compounds. i don't know... it doesn't pass a straight face test in my view. that we're not in the midst of hostilities. >> reporter: scott, while there's plenty of debate in the u.s. congress, over

the international criminal court today ordered the arrest of libyan leader moammar qaddafi on charges of crimes against humanity. we have a report from martin geissler of independent television news. >> reporter: just minutes before the international criminal court served notice on colonel qaddafi, nato forces sent him a message of their own. the pressure on the libyan leader is unremitting. legally and militarily. 1500 miles from the hague here in tripoli the nato air campaign continues. we heard two loud strikes here today. now we've been brought to qaddafi's compound in the center of the city. we've been shown this. the government claims it's the target of the attacks. it is we were told qaddafi's win bag owe and looked like a precision strike despite nato denial they're targeting him directly. qaddafi's options are increasingly limited. the international criminal court warrant makes it extremely difficult for him to leave libya. it is bunkered in. his government claimed to have armed more than a million civilians in the west of the country. near his hometown, we were shown women b

it came about because, in fairness to the president, he was fearful that moammar qaddafi would kill a lot of civilians in libya. of course, a civil war was going on in libya. the qaddafi government was being attacked by so-called rebels. people tt we don't know very much about. some of which apparently were fighting against united states in iraq recently. so these rebels are not exactly democracy builders, although some have reputations internationally for trying to work things out. my point, however, is that this clearly, belve, was an overreach and the a costly one, it's going to cost a billion dollars through september is one that already has led to dilemmas with our nato allies who say that they are running out of budget and we're providing 80% now of the refueling. a greadeal of the infrastructure behind the scenes but are being calledupon now to provide aid to help out in a humatarian way. and who knows what suggests will be made in the event that the qaddafi vernment falls, things are general chaos and we're left with a nation-building predicament in lya. i think we need to def
