and libya's national transitional council is handing over power to a newly elected assembly of two hundred members it's been ten months since the country's uprising led to the killing of moammar gadhafi and the water nation still flooded with weapons and struggling to control outbreaks of violence milton alomari the editor in chief of black star news believes the widespread divisions in libya will be a difficult hurdle towards democracy and the country is flooded with weapons the country is split into almost four of five different it's almost not a semi autonomous zones let's be very realistic and in order for things to start improving on libya i still believe they need an exercise in national reconciliation and national dialogue let's just be honest about it it's one thing to pretend that you want to see something existing and it's another thing to create that existence this is one of the most costly is a lecture that up ever see it anywhere in the world in terms of human life lost and destruction because let's remember colonel gadhafi had actually agreed to foreign supervised elections in which all parties in libya would be free to contest but nato washington paris and london decid

in the case of libya this is one of the most costly selections that i've ever seen anywhere in the world in terms of human life loss and destruction because let's remember colonel gadhafi had actually agreed to foreign supervised elections in which all parties in libya would be free to contest and this is after he had met with the south african president jacob zuma but nato washington paris and london decided to ignore that and instead impose the m.t.c. in power after virtually destroying libya and in fact the bombardment and the destruction by nato has not yet been investigated even though the i.c.c. the international criminal court had mentioned at one point that it should be investigated. editor in chief of black star and you in the end i mean truths i would honest i'm so sorry you i mean you're right there should be inconvenient truth swept under the rug but there are many that say that that perhaps permeates centuries of history of around the world that mr alomari i wish we had more time to thank you indeed for coming on the program today without saying. right. now the syrian regime and rebels say the government army has dealt a serious blow to the opposition forc

if you happen to agree with the execution of gadhafi in libya, you saw that under obama, not bush.of troops from iraq, under obama, not bush. you begin to see a dialdown in afghanistan, under obama, not bush. it seems to me even if you don't agree with all this positive, it's sort of difficult for me to imagine that this wasn't a successful presidency. >> well, what's success? you can go to school and get 59% on a test, you still fail. you need to get above a certain mark. that number-one mark when it comes to america in the last four years was supposed to be economy. we had the lowest amount of workforce participation since the 1980s. unemployment is going down because people are jumping out of the workforce. that's not an encouraging sign. now we're talking abanother recession on the horizon. that's going to be the marker he's going to be measured by. although there have been successes, don't ask, done tell i believe was a good mark for him to put into place, i concur with that. but when you look at number-one thing he'll be measured by, it's the economy and he gets a failing mar

only a few years ago missed out of the ground was literally hugging president assad and mama gadhafi of libya and now we know what the hug was all about without the chit to check out into the office back to stab it so really we can it's very disconcerting why tookie is taking this. course because there's no benefits to it whatsoever and the only benefit of turkey's action that we can see is for is for nato and it's and his and his western allies so the question really has to be honest is really where is the dignity and self-respect of the turkish state current now you mentioned libya and lead the you can france and said they're not ruling out any options in syria including a military force a no fly zone are we going to see the same sort of scenario that we saw in libya. well it's a lot more complex obviously in syria because syria has a stronger military has stronger regional allies than libya did. obviously the looking for some way to overthrow the regime in syria nothing nothing so far has what are the gun was the great muslim hope for nato is to push on the people of the region and their d

those things were some of the things that really put a strangle hold on gadhafi in libya. with libya, we had a stronger sanctions regime, passed by the u.n. security council. and all member countries were required to follow it. >> does the united states have a strategy to deal with the new alliance between russia and china that bolsters rogue states like syria? >> i think there's not much we can do. we're doing better now. we can impose sanctions on iran and syria -- we have to put more pressure on russia and china. the question, how bad do things have to get before the russians finally throw the towel in? >> thank you both. >>> our fourth story "outfront," suicide or police cover-up? a 21-year-old javis cartis died while handcuffed in the back of a police car in jonesboro, arkansas. authorities say he shot himself after being arrested for marijuana possession. his family says the police killed him and they're trying to cover it up. arkansas police have issued a video showing how they believe carter killed himself. in the video you can see the officer pull out a fake gun a

make sure we do it better this time. >> i would argue that we moved pretty quickly in libya, as soon as the gadhafiegime was in trouble, and we had people in benghazi, people on the ground, working districtly with libyans as the regime was on the run, so we did move relatively quickly in libya, and if necessary, we're prepared to move quickly in syria, with our partners, as the situation develops. so we were developing those contingency plans to avoid the dangers that proliferation of both conventional weapons would pose. >> do you think at some point, there would have to be foreign, or non-syrian personnel on the ground? >> it's too early to speculate about that. the situation on the ground in syria is fluid, it's changing day by day, and we're trying to prepare for all sorts of contingencies, to make sure these weapons don't proliferate outside of syria. >> let's go to expert controls and expert reform. in including arms exports also to u.s. allies, there have been a number of initiatives that you guys have launched. now three and a half, almost four years into this, what have been the concrete a

you i appreciate it look i think it's rather astonishing that we're talking about libya without any mention of gadhafi i mean you mean to say that gadhafi was a realistic democratic proponent of jeffersonian principles or if you're looking at assad the killings in syria i just applied because after all there might be chaos after or a civil war in syria even though there are killings that are going on proposed to put in the promoted by the government i mean her i think it's just a lot of people would be saying playing a lot of people would say in all fairness it's a very selective you know these are dictators and countries the u.s. doesn't like and you know it has a geo political interest i mean we can look at bahrain look at saudi arabia these are not my you know there's oppression of brain in saudi arabia state and i surrounded me ok syria i mean can i jump in here just go right ahead and i want to hear obviously the united states is selective ok john go ahead jump in i thought i'd like to say something about yes. first of all the libyan case there was something extremely wrong about our action in li
