, when we got rid of gaddafi, when we attacked al-qaeda in afghanistan, and we would have been doing so if we had attacked assad's chemical installations last year. it is no good going back. i supported two of those -- libya and syria last year. i was dubious about one of the others and i opposed iraq. that is not the point. what happened in all those cases was that the military deployment produced a situation at least as bad as it had been before and actually largely worse. i have no time, i am sorry. we did not create extremist jihadism. we did not create these fanatical, fundamentalist pressures, but we made things worse and made it easier for them to spread by some of our interventions. so we all agree that we must not repeat that. we need to be reassured, and i congratulate my right honorable friend the prime minister on his speech, where he spent a very great deal of his time trying to reassure. i am left with the feeling that certainly i shall support the motion, because some of our best allies are taking part in this intervention, but i still think that we are at the early st

the goal to get rid of gaddafi, you did it. >> let me note, of course, not with standing being roughly within the same region, these are two sets of countries with different circumstances. what is key is national institutions, national actors, taking ownership of the stability of their countries. and that's, again, why this investment in the moderate opposition in syria is so important. in addition to their fight against isil and fend off regime attacks with our support, this is an investment in the future of syria and in the stability of those institutions that are going to be needed. >> more dysfunctional, the united nations or the u.s. congress? >> no comment. i'm a diplomat. >> thank you. in the studio with me now are two members of the senate foreign relations committee who are on opposite sides of the president's request. welcome to both of you to "meet the press." why did you vote against the president's request to arm these rebels? >> i'm broadly supportive of the president's strategy. there's no doubt we need to have a strong response to isil. the question is whether getting i

it's almost three years since the death of muammar gaddafi, but those fighting muammar gaddafi turned on one another. a really desperate situation. the worst that this country has seen in the three years now. there are two parties, two governments -- two parliament, two governments. there's widespread violence, and the civilians are caught up in this. a lack of food, water, electricity, and a lot of people displaced, 100,000 displaced from tripoli. 20,000 displaced from the east. there are other statistics in this report about those that are fleeing libya, it's been a route for migrants coming from other parts of africa. this report shows so far this year, until july, 77,000 people arrived in italy from libya. that's double the number in 2013. it also says that fleeing libya - there were 1,000 refugees who didn't make it, they drowned at sea. >> president obama says he will not act on immigration by the end of the summer. today he is facing a lot of criticism for that decision and explained why he is holding off on n.b.c.'s "meet the press." . >> not only do i want to make sure the ts

that wanted gaddafi gone. was gaddafi a good man? nope. his enemies were the same as our enemies. and he had really turned over chemical arms, his weapons, stocked with his nuclear enhancement and turned over his chemical weapons, and yet we saw it fit that we would help the rebels because humanitarian reasons on what was going on. . you know, different sides get blamed for different things saying, oh, we didn't do that, somebody else did that. it was interesting that after gaddafi was gone, all of a sudden it becomes a wild west in libya. as a result of that, we had four brave americans lose their life in benghazi because we were trying to play nice and be friends. some people don't want to be our friend. in fact, as the gentleman from texas was talking about, the eal ambition of these jihadist groups, these radical islamic groups is really to have shahrya law control the world. they want all of us to be under the shahrya law. that's what their goal is. in fact, if you look at isil, the islamic state of iraq and levant, they want to go ba
