don't want the lib -- i think the key is you don't want the libyan thing to turn into something like algeria where you have a huge insurrection. you want it to be about libyan i understand pen and freedom and dem creation -- independence and freedom and democracy. if you're an american you don't want it to become about islamic extremism. that's really the critical foreign policy question for this administration. >> alan, do you think it's important for the united states to make gadhafi look like a non- presidential leader? senator lindsey graham said today on fox news sunday he believes he's a legitimate legal target because he is the head of the military. >> i think again that's a very difficult disputed question, but i think the key point is here is we've got to keep our -- point here is we've got to keep our involvement strictly limited. we don't want to to be a five to eight year war like we've seen -- want it to be a five to eight year war like we've seen in afghanistan. what gadhafi is doing to his people, hiring money that he stole from the libyan people to kill his own people. we've

of counter-terror if you will ok on french soil because of all that in the name of friendship in algeria. somebody people in a sense not combat. torture in prisons. now in recent times with friends french management of. close relationship with again natural resources and commodities being produced from north africa and subsaharan africa. and french compliance with dictatorial regimes that have ward against protest elements in those countries there. reasonably. elements from those rebel groups would want to come on french soil and strike here more importantly i think truly does is again the french manner. of saying it. and it teligent state surveilling its own people is necessary when you see why we have to have automatic weapon gun toting soldiers the image is so stark that it's easy to believe it's easy to persuade people that there could be a terrorist in this metro station it's easy for people in france to believe well then they have a right to listen to my phone calls which they do they do do it they have a right to monitor my emails and facebook because they're only protecting us fr

they include governments that seek similar upheaval at home, i places like algeria and syria.addafi also has support from governments that do business with him. russia, for instance, has made millions and lucrative energy deals. russia is also libya's biggest arms supplier. but gaddafi's trump card is his fortune. he has raked in billions, selling libya's oil and gas, and hit in that money in accounts and investments across the globe. separating what he controls and what belongs to the libyan state is almost impossible. in austria, for instance, some 1.2 billion euros were frozen, a fraction of the estimated 22 billion euros his family is believed to control. more than enough money to wager long and bloody war against his own people. the rebels in libya, for their part, are poorly funded. so the provisional government in benghazi has been lobbying for emergency financing from western governments, especially the u.s., britain, and france. they have been getting a to help to improve their organizational fighting abilities and say they're committed to continuing their battles wit

turned out the president of algeria decided he didn't want to go. latched on to general jim jones who was willing to go. and in fact provided three aircraft that hauled the morrocans across the borderse ad out of algeria. i thank you for that but also for your service over so many years. it's great to have you here with us this morning. pakistan is one of the largest muslim countries in the world. with a sizable nuclear arsenal. it's in a permanent state of hostility toward india, which is united states has close relations with. it's expanding ties with china borders iran, and all of the united states signed a first mutual defense agreement with pakistan in 1954, we have had great difficulty in the ensuing decades conforming a consistent partnership. one of the main problems is the government is not in monolith, but a collection of power centers that interact in complex ways. there's the elected civilian government, over the years, it's not been always strong or stable. uniformed military, which has seized power at various junctures. and we're told

in the islamic magreb the self-styled al qaeda group is worrying the regional countries of mali in algeria mauritania this is completely spiraled out of control that's why i think presumably the prime minister here was so hysterical and we have from moscow people like the head of the foreign relations committee again the house. going well we know that the u.s. is going to send ground troops because they're sending in drones normally to send ground troops into libya meanwhile in bahrain in saudi arabia the big allies the big dollars saudi arabia sending thousands of troops to pull people out of hospital beds after being wounded by their troops those sold to them by western governments the real news is happening under under the under the line and we won't see much of that international corporate media pressure times it could have coming from you as always journalist and author joining us from london tonight on out thank you. france fears its leading role in nato as libyan campaign makes it vulnerable to attacks on its soil in response new security measures including searching emails about pe

kennedy as a senator can offer the independence of algeria in 1957 that infuriated the democratic establishment because they thought the trade our allies. he does not have a skeptical mind and accept things as they are. when khrushchev decides to put offensive nuclear missiles in cuba and the instincts and the fear of being labeled soft on communism means the men in the room are much more inclined to believe a surgical strike will work in fact, the majority in 1962 favored the strike it was the 11th 13 data-processing to work their way through the there was no john kennedy and robert kennedy has taken the senate seat in massachusetts teddy was too young and then in that era the kennedy is much more cold war type of guy then he came to be. nobody is pushing for the other way out which means that the results of the cuban missile crisis are really different from the ones that we live through. that is one. the second story for its obvious personal connections is another attempt on another life june 4th 1968 robert kennedy has finished his victory speech and because of a last-minute flight on the wa

about your scheme which is basically you get a bundle of taxpayer money and then you can take that algeria to any school you want in schools compete in the theory is that schools are supposed to get better from this which is why the free market here in the libertarians are going to develop their schemes so have you know i mean they've been doing this for at least twenty years you know in various cities and states and experiments and there's one even here in d.c. have any of these demonstrated that schools actually get better as a result about your programs well here's the funny thing is that it seems like the free market actually failed in this circumstance this see is that it's not the appropriate way to improve public education the longest running dr scheme is in milwaukee and wisconsin and it's been running since one thousand nine hundred eight that states that he and the university of arkansas studied it this state study found that students who were in the private schools they were receiving doctors actually got worse results on stated i thought the math and reading and the university

but algeria had not neither had morocco but very much the bush doctrine says you are with us or against us. if you are with tripoli than you are against us. it takes a while but eventually they do. let's move on to banking. what with the founders say? we know what hamilton does come he creates a bank of the united states. i don't believe the founders interpreted the right to coin money in the constitution as strictly been gold and silver coins. they interpreted broadly, there was plenty of paper money and i think that is how they interpreted paper money to give the bank of the nine states the authority to issue notes. if any private bank issue money back in the early 1800's if you were a bank you could print your own money. that would be cool today but it had to be backed by gold silver but the adr was the bank of the united states which was created by the federal government should compete with all other idea that anybody can print their own money it should be backed by gold or silver. if forced the federal government to be honest and discipline itself to issue these things from the uni

john kennedy as a senator came after the independence of algeria in 1957 infuriated the democratic establishment because they thought it was betraying our allies. he doesn't have a skeptical mind. he accept things as they are. so when khrushchev decides to do what he did, put a fence of nuclear missiles in cuba johnson's instincts and fear of communism means the men in the room at the white house are much more inclined to believe a surgical strike on those missiles will work. the majority in 1962 favored that strike and it was 11 or 13 day process where they work for. robert kennedy in my alternate history has taken john kennedy's senate seat in massachusetts and teddy would have been too yet. in that year of the robert kennedy of 1960 was more of a cold war kind of guy than he later came to be. there is nobody pushing for the other way out which means not to give away too much the result of the cuban missile crisis are really different from the one that some of us lived through and read about. that is one. the second story, obvious personal connections, another attempt on a life of another kenn

in addition the insurgency in somalia and algeria has been rekindled and the insurgents spreading into west africa. similar insurgencies of varying but building vitality are underway in yemen, southern thailand, and the north caucuses. the major cities of hindu india have been attacked by islamist fighters and the islamist movement in western europe is growing and in britain, has driven the traditionally stoic security services to the point of public despair. as for the united states, bin laden long ago delineated al-qaeda's war aims for defeating america in three concise phrases. first, to take advantage of economic situations internationally to help bleed america to bankruptcy, second, to spread out u.s. and intelligence sources and flexibilities and third to strip away america's allies and to disrupt domestic political unity in america as much as possible. i will leave it to the audience to decide, using these three war aims, as a metric whether there's any reason for bin laden and al-qaeda to be discouraged about the progress they have made in the war they began in 1996. now, let m

later on, i was asked by the state department and the president of algeria the of the commission to go to the desert to free 250 mark and prisoners. as it turned out, the president decided he did not want to go, and i asked general james jones, who was willing to go, and he provided the aircraft to take the moroccans out of algeria. i thank you for those adventures, general jones, but even more for your service to the white house and this country for over the years. it is great have you here this morning. the reason for this hearing underscored the number of security goals. pakistan is one of the largest muslim countries in the world with a sizable nuclear arsenal. it is in a permanent state of hostility toward india, which the united states has close relations with. it is expanding ties with china, borders iran, a state sponsor of terrorism with nuclear ambitions, can the united states signed its mutual agreement in 1954, we have had great difficulty during the ensuing decades in forming a consistent partnership. one of the main problems in dealing with pakistan is its government is n

from algeria in january, to the iconic demonstrations in cairo's tahrir square to yemen, gaza, lebanon jordan. in february, pro-democracy groups began an uprising against moammar qaddafi in libya and protests also sprang up in morocco and bahrain. by march, demonstrators had hit the streets of saudi arabia and syria too. president obama has faced criticism that his response to the revolts is uneven, taking military action, for example in libya, but not in yemen, syria or bahrain. and while he issued sanctions yesterday against syria's president bashar al assad, mr. obama today offered assad one more chance. >> the syrian people have shown their courage in demanding a transition to democracy. president assad now has a choice: he can lead that transition, or get out of the way. >> woodruff: the president also had words for bahrain-- a strategic partner and home of the u.s. fifth fleet. he urged the gulf nation's leaders to end their mass arrests and violent crackdown on demonstrators. >> the only way forward is for the government and opposition to engage in a dialogue, and you cant have

that was the act of war but tunis had not, algeria had not, morocco had not and jefferson sends the military and it's very much the brush doctrine. he said you're either with us or against us. and if you're with tripoli, you're against us and he said take them all out. and it takes a while but eventually they do. okay. let's move on to banking. what would the founders say about banking. we know what hamilton does about banking. he creates a bank of the united states. i don't believe the founders interpreted the right to coin money in the constitution as strictly being gold and silver coins. i think they interpreted it broadly. there were -- there was plenty of paper money around. they were familiar with paper money. and i think that's how they interpreted paper money. they give the bank of the united states the authority to issue notes. now, back then, i should add, any private bank could issue money. did you know that? back in the early 1800s, if you were a bank, you could print your own money. that'd be kind of cool today. unfortunately, it had to be backed by gold or silver. that would be

he provided three aircraft that hauled the moroccans out of algeria. there were -- there was a waiting groups across the border. so i thank you for those, mr. jones, but i'm even more for your remarkable service in the white house and to our country over some many years and it is great to have you here this morning. our recent hearings have underscored the importance of pakistan to our goals. it is one of the largest muslim countries in the world with a sizable nuclear arsenal. it is a -- isn't a permanent state of hostility toward india. -- it is in a furnace that hostility toward india which united states at close ties with. the united states signed its first mutual defense agreement with pakistan in 1954. we've had great difficulty during the ensuing decades in forming a consistent partnership. one of the many problems is that this government is not a monolith but rather a collection of different power centers that interact in a complex way. there is the elected civilian government which over the years has not always been strong or stable. the unifo

one slight problem with one of the african leaders invited was the president of algeria.t is a country that is not reforming and has cracked down on protesters. a slight contradiction there to the arab spring. host: talk about the imf and the bid to hedge its. a big discussion about whether or not there would be an official way in. how does that play out? guest: there are private discussions that we do not kit to hear about. the g-8 came at the end of a one week where they are trying to determine if dominique strauss-kahn should be replaced by a european. i am sure there was stress on the importance of appointing someone else. i am sure people in beijing were watching this suspiciously trying to figure out what is going on. the reality remains that the likeliest candidate to replace him is the french finance minister. she is in india this last week campaigning for her post. that was on her schedule. this would have been one of the key background points of political gossip. host: the financial times talks about her support moving up a notch. the russian president acknowled

in october of 2007, 27 people were killed in a bombing in algeria. june of 2008, several people killed in a car bomb attack against a danish embassy in pakistan. al qaeda issued a statement saying it was a response to the 2000 publication of the mohammed cartoons. december, 2009, an attempted bombing of northwest airlines flight 253 be to detroit by omar farouk. in maye, 2010, an attempted car bomb in times square, new york. a 30-year-old pakistani born resident of bridge port, connecticut, admitted to the attempted bombing, saying he trained in a terror camp in 2010. a car bomb were found on separate cargo planes. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula took responsibility for that plot. april of 2011, 16 killed in a bomb attack on a market in her kesh, morocco. april 29, 2011, an attempted attack in germany. police arrested three alleged members of al qaeda who had been planning attacks in the country. this is the legacy that osama bin laden leaves behind. blood, murder, maiming, all across the world, because he had radical views that he did not believe

algeria and morocco combined by 2025 will be 92 million people, while libya in 2025 will be 8.1 million. the sudan and our south will be 73 billion people. africa as a continent will be 1 billion to 158 million people, so it's a must. it's inescapable that there will be an african march coming from the south, going to europe, you know, looking for a better life. that's where we try to develop that libya could be the link, this developmental model. not serving only the libyan people through finding an alternative economy, but also serving the continent by making this transformation and the process of skills of africans to serve the needs of the european economy. and we pin also the type of skills are needed. europe by 2025 will be needing 110 million extra skilled laborers just to sustain their current living of productivity. so the equation is there. it's ready, you know. all it needs is the real world. we sustain the cost and we can meet it. this is the first type of a challenge. the second type is the depletion of oil resources, and the third type of challenge is the scarcity of water

algeria and morocco combined by 2025, ninety-two million people. why libya in 2025 will be 8.1. the sudan, seventy billion people. pafford as a continent will be 1 billion to 1 fifty-eight million people. so it is a must that there will be -- looking for a better life. that is where we tried to develop the developmental model not only serving libya but serving the continent making this transformation to serve the needs of the european economy and also at times of need, beautiful by 2025 meeting 1 ten million extra laborers to sustain productivity. the equation is there, we sustained the course, this is the first type of challenge. the second type is the depletion of resources and the third type of challenge, libya and the eminence of the world in terms of the share of each individual resources. the fourth type of challenge is the diminishing -- in the minds of the people. the state of chaos taking place with constitution and lack of rule in the last 42 years. that is where corruption was spreading in the country. do whatever it can do. nobody will tell you it is applied in a sel

'em emby property while in algeria. although we've accomplished a great deal using our existing laws, meja leaves significant gaps in our enportion ifment -- enforcement capability. the criminal statutes with clear extraterritorial application make up only a subset of the federal criminal laws, and the special maritime and extraterritorial jurisdiction of the united states is limited. consequently, a u.s. government employee who rapes a foreign national in the employee's diplomatic residence may be prosecuted for his crime while the very same person might not be able to be prosecuted if he commits the exact same crime in the victim's apartment. additionally, meja applies only when the defendant's employment relates to supporting the mission of the department of defense overseas. therefore, a civilian government contractor whose employment is unrelated to the mission of the department of defense but is related to another agency's mission cannot currently be prosecuted under meja even if he or she clearly committed a seri
