the british foreign office has just told all uk citizens to leave benghazi, libya's second largest cityernment, such as it is, has denied any basis for such drastic action. a lone cherry bomb now and again, an awkward flurry of roman candles. the buzz of last night's chaotic partying harshed big time. whether or not this is a result of the larger geopolitical situation, the vibe towards this western film crew seems apprehensive, uncertain. the following day feels better, somewhat. fresh produce is for sale on tripoli streets. if you were a small restaurant or shopping for a big family, you'd bring cash, a wheelbarrow, and load up with what you need, but the revolution has brought changed tastes. libyans, especially young libyans, hunger for more than just freedom. ♪ they hunger for places like this. kentucky fried chicken. uncle kentucky fried chicken. >> uncle kentucky. >> okay. the colonel and his buddies, the king and the clown, have not quite made it here, given the uncertainty of the situation. so, in the meantime, places like this have been popping up. uncle kentucky. awesome. ♪ >

the situation in libya has been characaterized frequently by benghazi by what happened in benghazi, but the real story on libya -- and i was talking about this well before benghazi was when can a president unilaterally use military force in a situation where there were no treaties in place that compelled us to do so, no americans at risk, and no clearly defined threat to the united states? tried to get to the airport at tripoli today. they lost thousands of weaps from karachi's weapons storage areas that have spread through the region. and the doctrine of when we use military force has become extremely vague. this notion of responsibility to protect or humanitarian intervention. it's not clear. we could -- the president would use that in ireland tomorrow for all we know. it's a very loose doctrine and it's not healthy for the country. host: a recent national journal piece, which is available on line, here comes trouble. do you think -- do you consider yourself trouble? guest: i read the piece. but my participation in the electoral process -- i spent a lot of time as a writer. when you w

chaotic state in libya and uncertain governance, to put it kindly, what is the relationship you have been able to divine between that and the 2012 terrorist attacks on our facilities in benghazi well if you don't have an overthrow of the government in libya, you don't get to benghazi. benghazi ended up becoming a flashpoint specifically because the united states had determined that it would intervene violently in libya. so you know, this story in the "washington times" gives the back story on how we got to libya, and we got to libya by misstatement of facts, that frankly, needs to be answered. >> why is it that congress has not pursued this line because there was a sudden shift on the part of the administration, almost without explanation public explanation and at the same time, we understand that intelligence, pentagon officials decrying the prospect of intervention even though it was a negligible obstacle to overcome that is the defenses of moammar gadhafi, what washington as best you can divine it, the intent and where are we now in libya as a result? >> well first of all, congress there were members of congress on both sides of the aisle who were very alarmed when the adm

libya. not too long ago. benghazi. we haven't been thinking about libya.oo recently in terms of the news discussion or in terms of the administration. the administration wants the world to think things are going okay. we don't need to rethink our policies. the trouble you are expecting is about what you can expect from circumstances like this. blood on the front page of 23 christians is the sort of thing to say whoa whoa. this is not succeeding. >> let me u.s. is. >> writers of the "new york times" are saying we don't want to put a big story on the front page. >> let me -- another winter blast getting ready to slanel the northeast. live team coverage coming up. you total your brand new car. nobody's hurt,but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do, drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty

libya find the world has rejected them. many complain they can't get visas because they are libyan. most of the displaced we saw were from benghaziis libya's second largest city, the birthplace of the revolution and is now really the epicenter of the disaster. people describe completely bombed out neighborhoods. they say it looks like aleppo. there's a neighborhood youth who are armed manning checkpoints all over the city. just the simple truth of where you are from can determine your fate. just overall dysfunction has become a way of life in libya. libyans are forced to bear the burden of the conflict as it pairs away the last vestiges of normalcy. traveling across the country is arduous. delays at airports can literally take days. if you want to take or go by car, you're going to risk checkpoints and kidnapping a different malicious, which you have to negotiate. in the eased, there is very bad motricity shortages. there are fuel shortages. we were in the seat of the internationally record highs government. and they're expecting a huge influx of refugees there of displaced. this has caused rents to go up, food prices to go up. t

libya, right? is it reasonable to say it's a tough situation, okay, moving on, we have other priorities? >> well, i mean, again, the attack in benghazi. it did force this retreat. and you know, i went to libya five times since the resolution. each visit i saw the u.s. you know, presidents and, you know talking to libyans. said we never get visited by the americans anymore. go to the embassy and say, look we have these programs to help civil society, train media and do advice on the constitutional level. but we can't execute these programs because we don't have the staff, it was a skeleton crew and they couldn't get out in the country. the same thing with helping the security sector. i mean, we make a lot about should we have helped early on? there were plans on the books to do that. you know, i think part of it was some u.s. reluctance to get involved. we were waiting for the libyans to pay up front to write the check, and they never did that. we can get into that. the question also was where would this training occur? it would have to occur you know, overseas. so again, i think the question was probably -- the problem was one of dis

benghazi attack. what do we make of what libya is now? when we think about how the obama administration has managed the arab spring? >> the short answer to both of those comparisons is they have one thing in common, they're both failed states. the under lying message is the approach in the early stages of the engagement, how long and how committed do they stay in that process to make sure that the state does not collapse. what we saw in libya was yes, there was a central government that was a dictatorship that controlled the territory and the people underneath it. in the wake of the uprising and the nato liberation and campaign, to help the rebels, there was a disengagement following that and the benghazi attack. they want today see the central government kind of exert itself. >> do critics of the intervention to begin with, who said that is a bad idea. part of the criticism was, you have not proven yourself, particularly committed or adept at any kind of nation building or sustained commitment. don't blow things up if you don't have foll
