the wake of gaddafi's execution in 2011 libya was a mess of rebels armed to the teeth making it one of the the world's most dangerous hot spots. on september 12th they beared the teeth by attacking an american embassy. this attack was only the beginning of a micro battle that would rage on for 13 hours and take the lives of additional two men. >> they are coming in. we are all dropping. tells the tale of the battle of benghazi from the eyes of the then who were there. >> congratulations i find myself getting lost in the film watching it as an action film. it is an action film but you have to slap yourself now and again and say this actually happened. if people look at it as a straight up action film is the doing the guys there a disservice. >> that is an interesting thought. i never thought about that. i hope not. at the end of the day it is our inability to understand what they go through. what they go through is way beyond an action film. maybe my take on that would be that michael was telling the story that was as real as he could get it. in doing so it feels like a full blown actio

international coalition came to protect those people land help people who then got rid of gaddafi and they had an opportunity -- what i am saying is the opportunity wasn't taken. and assistance was offered. i took the libyan prime minister -- for reasons we can go into with the rest of it, it was impossible to deliver that sort of government as a new opportunity with a coming together a libyan national government and the critics of these things, the choice we made in libya is partly at the request of the libyans themselves with the demise of gaddafi was thought to go in heavy-handed with boots on the ground and troops and held them construct their government, they didn't want that, they thought it would be counterproductive and they would be able to put together representative institutions. it was impossible our it prospered. >> i am not saying that. i am saying that humanitarian balance sheet doesn't look good, failure to engage in nation-building created a breeding ground for isis but we were involved in nation-building. we were there to help the libyan people in a way that was more

we toppled gaddafi, we got chaos and there's actually more radical islam and more terrorists. so really, i think there is a good question. we've been beginning to have this in the presidential debate. is it a good idea to topple secular dictators, what comes see right now in syria, rubio, bush, all the others. they want to topple assad, they want to get rid of assad. but then, my point is, well maybe then isis takes over the whole region. >> sabrina: is it the lesser of 2 evils then? >> rand: well, i think there are variations of evil on both sides sometimes. and sometimes it really isn't a u.s. interest to being involved. see, we've been pouring weapons in on the side of the islamic rebels, but they're allied with al-qaeda and isis. and i think it's completely insane to give weapons to the allies of al-qaeda and i've been saying so for a few years now. >> amanda: you mentioned bush and rubio, i want to ask you about trump. he's the front runner and you seem to tip toe less around criticism of trump. why is that? >> rand: no, i think he gets his fair share. if you've been foll

are we better off or worse off with gaddafi gone? sometimes in civil wars there are variations of evil on both sides. i think we have to get away from this utopia notion that thomas jefferson is going to be elected in the middle east. they have known only despotism n one side or the other. democracy is not going to come from the outside. it is going to have to come from them. i do not think we have been successful in trying to create some sort of democracy or utopia. not concern for making or trying to bring democratic perfection to the middle east. it is also very expensive. when people ask me whose fault is it with the debt? it frankly is both parties. on one hand you have republicans who say we want unlimited spending for the military but they can't get it unless they compromise with the democrats. they both get together and that's what just happened. we just had $1.1 trillion spending bill with all of the pending crammed in it. 2042 pages. no one has read it. senior senators knew about it. deals were made in the middle of the nig

they go into libya, they knocked the hell out of gaddafi. they backed rebels who end up killing the ambassador and the other young people. the ambassador was riding in a jeep, one of our jeeps, of course, a military jeep, holding the libyan flag, "freedom, freedom, freedom," and he gets killed by the same people. so we backed people that turned out to be far worse than gaddafi. look what we did in iraq. look at what we did in iraq. what the hell did we get? we spent $2 trillion, we have thousands of deaths, and i'm not even talking other side. you are talking about hundreds of thousands, maybe millions. you have thousands of deaths, wounded warriors, who i love. these guys are the toughest -- these are the greatest people. [applause] mr. trump: these are the greatest people. and then what happens? we leave, and we have a president that announces the date of when we are leaving. so, i said, man, if i'm the enemy, i'm just going to go wait for 18 months. he gave a date, we are leaving iraq, we will be gone by such and such a time. i'm just sit

military intervention helped oust longtime dictator muammar gaddafi. "the new york times" editorial board calls general dunford's announcement of a new military campaign in libya deeply troubling, writing -- "this significant escalation is being planned without a meaningful debate in congress. a new military intervention in libya would represent a significant progression of a war that could easily spread to other countries on the continent." meanwhile, general dunford says he is also preparing to ask for additional u.s.troops to be deployed to iraq. in egypt, human rights activists say hundreds of people have been subjected to "enforced disappearances," as president abdel fattah el-sisi widens his crackdown. have been reportedly held for hundreds months without charges or access to a lawyer in secret prisons run by sisi's security forces. many say they have been tortured. some have died in the secret prisons and their bodies later surfaced in morgues. national council on human rights lawyer nasser amin said -- "this is an unprecedented catastrophe for

end, he may have been on the right side but we are still dealing with the ira who had dealings with gaddafi and i don't think that was a golden era in libyan relations. we have a growing problem with justil franchise in libya as we have isil franchises in many countries around the world. the truth is, we are dealing ideologyxtremist taking hold in all states that are fractured, broken or insufficient in any way and you see that with boko haram and nigeria, al-shabaab in somalia, and i think this point towards a missile can kill a terrorist but good governance is what killed terrorism. to build strong, inclusive governments that can deal with the people. >> you have said that there are lessons to be learned from these earlier interventions. notave to be careful about dismantling states and having plans for reconstruction. that went disastrously wrong in libya as well, didn't it? now we are in a terrible mess. the libyan people were given the opportunity -- qaddafi was threatening to shoot his own people like rats. an international coalition came together to protect his people and help the li

as we know, he traveled to libya and engaged in financial transactions with the gaddafi government and collected $341,000, which were designed to be routed back to his causes in the u.s. without the knowledge of american authorities. all of those activities violate the international emergency onomic powers act, imposes terrorism-related sanctions prohibiting unlicensed travel to and commercial with libya. i want to insert here that it had to be very convenient for mr. al amoudi, this convicted supporter of terrorism, to be working for the state department as he went to different untries and continued to conspire to support terrorism as the state department funded his travel on its behalf. ,ut also found was this article uthor was brian blum qunch uist, june 27, 2003 and it's an ticle about the esteemed senator, chuck schumer, schumer jails and out of armed forces. militant muslim imams are preaching a distorted hateful form of islam to u.s. soldiers and federal prisoners creating a, quote, dangerous situation, unquote. senator charles schumer charged yesterday. schumer said the problem
