i even met gaddafi's son here at the capitol before, while president obama has been president. apparently he had meetings here in washington with the administration work people on capitol hill. and yet this administration not only turned on their ally that they had in gaddafi who supposedly had given up his terrorist-supporting ways, and this administration supplied to al qaeda, ibya to other rebels who were not al qaeda, but to al qaeda, to al sharia, to other radical islamists, to take out gaddafi and some have contended if we had not gone in and bombed gaddafi's caravan as he was trying to get away, they would not have caught him and he would have gotten out. so it would appear that the united states contributed mightily to the torturous death of gaddafi. i'm not saying he didn't deserve a rough death after what he had done to so many, mr. speaker, i'm just pointing out that this administration had made agreements and discussions with him as an ally and they turned on him, threw him away and not nly that, helped bring about his personal death and de instruction. but, when yo

lots of allegations of illegal funding in that campaign involving individuals like betancourt and gaddafi. these are allegations they rejected continually, and in fact he was cleared in the betancourt case last year. at the moment nicolas sarkozy is simply being questioned and hasn't been charge. it's unprecedented for a former president to be actually detained in this way. his supporters have come out and said this is part of a politically motivated persecution as they see it of somebody who wants to launch a comeback and go for the presidency in 2017. the socialist government in paris say that's nonsense and there's no pressure applied to the judiciary. he's treated like anybody else would. it certainly has a lot of people talking about nicolas sarkozy, perhaps not in the right way. he's never far from the headlines here in france. >>> still to come here on the program, ukraine brings it's unilateral cease-fire to an end. what does that mean on the battlefield? >>> and prime ministthe prime md be turkey's next president. will he then become even more powerful? continue to increase our s

people remember at that time the libyan army was on the outskirts of benghazi, and we heard words from gaddafi himself and his spokesman, we will hunt them down like rats and exterminate them. words that the world has heard before. i think the united nations took a very bold step in the government of the united states and many others agreed to uphold that u.s. security council resolution and prevent the libyan army from doing what i believe they would have done, killed unknown thousands of people in benghazi. that was the genesis of the intervention. it was not to remove the government of qaddafi. it was to protect civilians. that was the genesis of the effort. i think in that regard the intervention was necessary and certainly successful. >> could we have done a better job post intervention africa doffing -- after qaddafi? >> this is the challenge of these very complex situations that occur in africa and the mideast. is almost theiece easy piece. defined in this case. protect civilians. the military intranet was used. i led the effort initially before transitioning to nato. to lachesis effect
