(laughter) you're not messing around. you know what you can actually do is hollow that out and keep another book inside there. (laughter) >> jon: let's start... you know what we deal? here's what we'll do. we'll start in present day and work our way back to the point where you and i started. (laughter) so moammar qaddafi is killed. were you aware that he had a strange and, shall i say, creepy fixation on secretary of state condoleezza rice? did you know that? >> i was aware. several of my foreign minister colleagues had told me before i went to visit him back in 2008 that he had this fixation and when i got there i thought "just get through your business. just do diplomacy, just get out of here." and everything was going fine and then all of a sudden he said "i have this video for you." (laughter) and i thought uh-oh, what is this?

with condoleezza rice. we do have a relationship that goes back, as you know, dr. rice was the provost at stanford and is back in stanford now at the woodrow wilson institute. chuck and i spent eight years on campus and stanford. it was not because we couldn't graduate. that's a different story. and we have many mutual friends from our service and government in hamburg and elsewhere. and of course we also had the privilege of service to our country at the consequential times. one of the things that i enjoy thinking about leadership also and i think of dr. rice as the transformational leader. in fact, i think of president shalala and ambassador cobb as transformational leaders. and you might think about and ask what are the common traits? vision, contextual knowledge, understanding the environment, communication and motivational skills. they are challenging, but empowering. rocksolid integrity, unusual determination and perseverance, perseverance and perseverance. as you might guess, in a great admirer of dr. rice. not quite as much as moammar gadhafi. i don't have a

condoleezza rice. dr. rice, i'm getting lots of tweets wile we had the break there saying i wish that she would run for president. >> well, that is very nice, but thanks, i'll pass on that honor. >> is that a total lifetime pass, or could he see yourself tempted back? >> i'm really a policy person. i'm not a politician, and i've been through a campaign. i know what that takes, and i'll leave it to others. >> you're not entirely ruling it out? >> piers, that's a no. >> let me ask you, where were you when you heard that osama bin laden had been killed, because for you personally, never mind professionally, it must have been an extraordinary moment in your life having spent so long trying to catch him after 9/11. >> it was, indeed. i had just come in actually to washington d.c. i had landed that evening from california, and i flipped on the television, and they were getting ready to have the news conference, and i thought the president of the united states doesn't go into the east room this time of night. i th

particular going wall-to-wall with that story. >> bill: our pal brit has been listening to the condoleezza riceerview. he joins us from washington. so you know all of these guys, and dr. rice, a long long time. i assume you are familiar with all their books. >> i am. >> bill: what disturbs me about this whole thing is that i believe that iraq is in trouble. i do. just from the reports that we're getting out of there. i think when the last u.s. soldiers get out in december, bad things are very likely to happen in that country. what do you say to the military men and women, the families who lost and have people back with no arms and legs? what do you say to them? and you know, that's where i'm going with all three, rumsfeld, cheney and dr. rice. and you say? >> well, i say that's one area where you would find those three people who had many disagreements in agreement. i don't think there is any doubt about the fact that they all will be of the view that we should have done everything we could and could have done a much better job of doing it and getting a residual force of americans there to make

this year we hit the jackpot with condoleezza rice. we have a relationship that goes back as you know, i think, dr. rice was provost at stanford and back at stanford at the woodrow wilson institute. chuck and i spent eight years on campus in stanford not because we couldn't graduate but that is a different story. we have many mutual friends from service in government at stanford and elsewhere and we also had the privilege of service to our country and very consequential times. one of the things i enjoy thinking about his leadership also. i think of dr. rice as the transformational leader. i think of ambassador, as transformational leaders. you might think about and ask whether the common traits. vision, contextual knowledgeably original understanding the environment, communication and motivational skills. they are challenging but am powering. rock-solid integrity. unusual determination and perseverance and perseverance. i emigrated mirer of dr. rice. not quite as much as gaddafi. i don't have the scrapbook. [applause] i do have an enorm

i'll ask the bush administration secretary of state condoleezza rice. and, buckle up, we'll take you on one of the world's most dangerous and deadly drives. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." we didn't hear from herman cain's accuser herself, but her lawyer says she still believes she was the victim of sexual harassment by the republican presidential candidate back in the 1990s, when he was the head of the national restaurant association. the lawyer, joel bennett, responding skeptically to herman cain's denials. >> there's an expression, where there's smoke, there's fire. the fact that there are multiple complaints tells me that it's more likely than not that there was some sexual harassment activity by this man at that time. all of that is subject to proof. he would be allowed to rebut all of them be and i -- but the fact that there's more than one complainant is meaningful. >> let's assess what's going on right now with our chief analyst gloria borger. if no other

take a look. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> condoleezza rice is fluent in russian.an in-depth conversation. >> i thought you were speaking in gibberish for a minute. >> what she told me, i can never tell. just between us. >> really? >> yeah. it was quite revealing. >> all right. >> you can watch my full interview in english, with condoleezza rice on our home page, goodmorningamerica.com. >>> now, to something else i do not understand at all. a travel snafu that i defy you to match. we've all been stuck at the airport. but this is a story about a woman who got stuck for eight days. let me say that again. eight days. the weather was fine. there were no mechanic problems. so, what trapped her? baggage fees. here's abc's neal karlinsky. >> reporter: unfortunately, getting stuck in the airport isn't unusual. lots of us have slept on those uncomfortable seats or on the floor. but how about eight days of that? >> you are not to enter through those doors. you are not to leave this building. >> reporter: tom hanks' character lived in the airport in the movie "the terminal."

we knew gadhafi had a thing for condoleezza rice and we knew condoleezza rice was going to have quite a story here. pictures of the former secretary of state were actually found in the libyan leaders personal affects and now, we know a little bit more of what was going on there after she went, condoleezza rice, on "the daily show," to talk about it. listen. >> were you aware that he had a strange and shall i say creepy fixation on secretary of state condoleezza rice? >> i was aware. several of my foreign minister colleagues had told me before i went to visit him back in 2008, that he had this fixation and when i got there, i thought, just get through your business. do a diplomacy, just get out of here and everything was going fine, then he said, i have this video for you. and i thought, what is this? but it was actually just pictures of me with hue jintao, vladimir putin, set to a song he had written called black flower in a white house. >> how's the song go? >> hilarious. >> i know. i've actually called her a few times trying to get her to talk about it, but she wouldn't because she

. >>> now, to my one-on-one with former national security adviser and secretary of state, condoleezza riceshe had plenty to say about working under president george w. bush in our new book "no higher honor." we began talking about one of the men who was critical about her since leaving office, former secretary donald rumsfeld. >> we had strong disagreements. i don't think they were ever personal. they were strong personalities. >> reporter: and those strong personalities have been taking their shots at condoleezza rice since leaving office. this was donald rumsfeld's less-than-complementary assessment of her work. >> she never served in a senior administration position. she had been an academic. you know, a lot of academics like to have meetings. >> reporter: and the strong personalities, one in particular, don rumsfeld. you helped bring him in to the president's inner circle. do you regret doing that? >> oh, no. i think don did a fine job in many ways. he was a good secretary of defense. and we've been friends for years. and we remain friends. but he's a little bit of a grumpy guy. there'

condoleezza rice hasn't forgotten either.ter of fact, she's talking about the late libyan's dictator's crush on her. zain, you and have talked about this in the past. you used to work there at the state department and you kind of wondered if she was going to reveal details about this, considering how awkward it was. >> well, now she has. and, yeah, it's kind of juicy. you know, moammar gadhafi had a big crush on her and he once expressed his admiration by saying the way condoleezza rice leaned back and gave orders to leaders. he said, leza, leza, this is something pretty interesting. condoleezza rice in her new book said essentially when she went to libya and got to the meeting that she was having with moammar gadhafi she hoped it was all business and all diplomacy and all of a sudden he said, i want to show you something. she thought, it was a videotape montage of her full of pictures of her with different world leaders. here's what she had to say. >> quite extraordinary. >> yes, quite extraordinary. and weird and a bit cree
