took on the case of gaddafi and then issued its indictment of gaddafi without any proper investigation and in due course moreno ocampo put out the most nonsensical propaganda stick statements of the americans such as gaddafi was. torture in which people were killed you know the cia instituted torture first of all the u.s. attorney general announced that so long as you were following the d.o.j. legal guidelines then torture was fine and then he said well ok we'll investigate some of the people who have gone beyond the guidelines and he went on so that he decided there wasn't really enough of a case to answer so no one has been prosecuted for any of the wars in iraq so how likely is it that the americans will one day wake up and say yes yes we will accept i.c.c. jurisdiction over a possible war crimes bill would you like to reply. but i just absolutely agree that the united states and every other country ought to be required to part to participate in the i.c.c. going to and to support it activities and i fully agree. it's home here it's not proper for us to. support. you know indictments

when gaddafi went down they fled. that is a result unintended in the war of libya.tration thought it would happen but now that it has happens and the french stepped in to do something about it, we are standing back and the administration doesn't have a policy. it doesn't know which way to go. it took weeks before they could provide listics for the french. but it has no idea what to do in the places. it denied to go back to the other hearing that there was terror involvement or a way to cover it up and pretend it didn't happen in north africa is an indication how much they have had their head in the sand and how much they lived off the killing of bin laden as a way to tell themselves that the war on terror was over. >> bret: judge, i remember defense secretary rumsfeld saying he didn't mention the word "afghanistan" pre9/11. north africa didn't come up with secretary clinton. mali didn't come up. something tells me, we could deal with this for a long time. >> to follow up on charles, what she said, the clip you ran, revealed gross failures on her part and the part of

back in the 1980's, muammar gaddafi offered them a place in his army and military training camps.ot of them when they're hoping it would be able to further their own cause. they ended up becoming part of his military. when he fell, they came back to mali and niger, some heavily armed and in a very desperate position. and they resumed their struggle which has been going on for decades. i think the fall of gaddafi in libya did act as a catalyst for the conflict we're seeing in mali. another aspect of u.s. involvement in mali, the u.s. government has been supplying mali and niger and other countries with counter- terrorism assistance. it is millions and millions of dollars every year in equipment and training and other ways in order to fight al qaeda and others in the area. i have talked to a lot of people in thwho have told me that the d the u.s. sent supposedly to fight al qaeda was actually diverted to fight the tuareg rebellion in the north, which is kind of continuously simmering and has never fully gone away. i hope when this whole conflict calms down a little bit, there will b

i'm told the last person who received such a welcome was muammar gaddafi.er] uh, it might do said about the lack of fire safety at its suppliers. >> over the recent years, walmart has made the factories in bangladesh and other countries around the world safer, particularly in this area of fire safety. a few years ago, i would say in 2010, we had a very serious focus in bangladesh on fire safety. as a matter of fact, in 2010, we had 94 factories that we stopped doing business with, said we would no longer have products produced in this particular factories. i believe we had 23 other factories that corrected and moved up their standards in the area of fire safety. and made some progress with some other factories. was even moree wer progress made and we worked with other organizations and retells to raise the bar. did a tremendous amount of training across the country. i believe over 3000 factories went through the training developed, including fire safety and the standards even for the associates to know. in 2012, even raising the bar more with additional aud

woman and has to take those positions, i thing she believes that clip talking about the killing of gaddafi, we came and killed him. i thought, that is not the type of message i want my world leaders to be presented. all that being said, i think she is ready for the job. she is a beloved around the world as well. her popularity here, which is well-deserved, there is not a modern political figure who has had more invasive press coverage. i have come away very impressed with her as an individual. >> not the women cannot be hawkish. the iron lady comes to mind, but what do you make of the fact she has done a remarkable job of raising the issue of women and has made it clear the future of the world depends on the way we treat women? she has raised the issue of women as high on the global agenda as anyone, yet she remains more hawkish than mr. obama. is that strange to you? >> she had to it shake off this baggage of the leftist hillary radical, and the easiest way to do this is to take the issues on foreign policy that most of the times the public does not care. i would love to see the speech wh

the brigade was a libya supported militia that had been protecting stevens before gaddafi fell. they'd been reliable, been responsive but they weren't available in the first minutes and hours of the attack on our compound. we also contracted with a private security company that had a permit to operate in lib yasm because you know the united states, unless we go into a country with massive military force, we, you know, go in and we follow the rules of the country. and we had to get a security force that had a permit from the libyan government. so these are all issues that are being looked at so we try to fill the gaps that have been identified. >> thank you. the last thing i would just correct, you said earlier, that we haven't done enough promoting ourselves around the country and the world, i think you have. you have done a fantastic job and other than president kennedy, i don't know anyone who has had a better image in the latin americas. congressman. south carolina. >> madam secretary, let me tell you, americans are frustrated. they're frustrated over the handle of benghazi,

some groups had been in the employ of gaddafi for years. he used them as mercenaries. with his fall, they came out of libya, bringing huge amounts of weapons from the enormous storage of weapons gaddafi had that insurgence liberated, as well as others. they came into northern mali. at the same time, there was a move to establish a base in northern mali. we have been working to try to upgrade security around the northern mali, round a number of countries. algeria is the only one with any real ability to do that. most of these countries do not have the capacity to do that. we are now trying to help put together an african force so that african soldiers can be at the front of the fight. simoleons asked the french to come in. france is one of our oldest allies. we are trying to provide for them. this is going to be a very serious, ongoing threat. if you look at the size of northern mali, you look at the desert and caves, and we are in for a struggle. it is a necessary struggle. we cannot permit northern mali to become a safe haven. people say, aqim has not attacked the uni
