it's general allen's losing thirty three thousand dollars going to be losing but again it was a what we're talking about are you talking about military police or you're talking about you know infantry or special forces are you talking about people who you military construction you're talking about five people i think that was general allen sports. even after these thirty three thousand troops are withdrawn which is going to be at least a year before they are all out you could still have twice as many troops as you have in obama came into office so the idea that somehow you're cutting and running it leaving just is not true and on the other hand you are as i was general allen pointed out you're sending a signal to the afghan government you just can't leave iraq you're going to have to start getting your own security forces or your own act together as general allen kind of getting the short end of the stick general petraeus gets to leave another war well i think it's going to be difficult for general allen like he was difficult which at all is there only if the general petraeus left it

let's start with woody allen. >> okay. good place to start. >> we will talk about what won in a moment. >> i think this is, you know this is very slight movie in some ways. it reminded me of some of his sketches that he wrote and collected bk in the '70s and '80s, stuff where the guy goes and brings madam above ary into manhattan this is, has a very charming premise where owen wson playing the woody allen surrote character as this frustrated, he is a skrin writer, a hack screenwriter. he wantses to be a novellist. he is in p business his kind of pruddish, materialistic fiancee played by rachel mcadams and this magical thing happens which i think is very nicely never explained like in purple rose of cairo. how did the guy get off the screen, you don't know. a car pulls up, an old-fashioned roadster and inside are helda and f scott fitzgerald. and he does this time travel, by day in paris he's in modern day paris kind of moping around and going to tourist sites with his future inlaws. and his unbearably pretentious friend pl

we now have allen pizzey in tripoli.llen, i wonder, are they hearing about this debate in washington? and if so, what's the reaction? >> reporter: indeed, they are hearing it, scott. in fact, they're listening to it with a great deal of interest because they think it plays to their agenda. in fact, the prime minister said today they were watching what congress was doing with interest. i think the libyan agenda is very much to just hang tough, stay in there and hope and wait while the coalition, they think, may run out of ammunition. it certainly appears to be running out of cohesion, and i think they feel as long as they can keep that going they may well wear down nato. >> pelley: we wonder about qaddafi. is there any idea where he is at this point? >> reporter: no, there isn't. they seem to be going through what nato calls command-and- control structures but what he may well be doing is hiding in plain sight. nato is using bunker busters, so why would he live in a bunker? if he's out among the population, they can't get

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 they do next? so far civilian casualties have been minimal but the heavier the bombing, the greater the r

cbs news correspondent allen pizzey reports from tripoli. >> reporter: rebel forces are paying a heavyrice in their battle to break out of the besieged city of misrata and move towards the libyan capital. the rebels complain that nato's air campaign against gadhafi's forces is too timid. but the canadian commander of the operation described conducting air strikes on the front lines as like trying to intervene in a knife fight in a phone booth. and the libyan government is desperate to show that nato hit civilian targets. in this case an oxygen plant that allegedly supplied 97 hospitals. as is always the case at sites like this, the libyans insist the target had absolutely no military value. and say they're at a loss to explain why there might be some tanks parked next door. the factory manager claimed the tanks had already been destroyed elsewhere and were moved so they wouldn't litter the streets. pressed as to why the army might leave them next to his factory, there was a rare moment of unguarded candor. the factory manager said maybe, this is a wrong by our people. allen pizzey, cbs
