mr. gaddafi and mr. assad. those countries are falling apart. in troops had to send and aircraft in order to prop up this regime at the risk of alienating the entire sunni world. so, what was the question? [laughter] president obama: i think it is really interesting to understand -- is not stronger as a consequence of what they have been doing. .hey get attention the sanctions against ukraine are still in place. what i have consistently offered, from position of strength because the united states is not subject to sanctions, and we're not contracting 4% a year, what i've offered as a pathway for they can get back on the path of growth and do right by their people. mr. putin's actions have been successful only in safar as it has boosted his poll ratings inside of russia, which may be why the beltway is so impressed. that tends to be the measure of success. of course, it is easier to do when you have a state-controlled media. not a smart, strategic move on russia's part. russia has now done is not only committed its own troops into a situation in

mr. bashir. we know at one time, gaddafi was charged with genocide, although he was killed before there was a trial. that's one way to convince the prosecutor at the international criminal court to initiate a case. if there's a possibility that any of these potential culprits travels to another country, that country, if there were substantial evidence of genocide would have authority within their jurisdiction to bring a prosecution, as well and there's a requirement under the genocide convention that extradition be granted in any case where an individual is outside a jurisdiction wanting to undertake the trial, and the so-called political exception rule to extradition shall not apply. there's various ways in which the case could be brought into the international arena. the difficulty, i think we have is that this is a political decision, really, more than a legal one, and at present, it's hard to identify a dynamic that's going to cause a country to want to put in the hawk the leaders of myanmar. what's in it for them, the rohingya are not powerful internationally, they don't sit on oil wells or wh

gaddafi. i can pause while you're reading your notes from your staff. ms. clinton: one thing at a time, congressman. mr. roskam: that did not come easy, did it, that leadership role and the public face that i just mentioned? ms. clinton: [inaudible] this is an issue that the committee has raised, and it really boils down to why were we in libya, why did the united states join with our nato and european allies, join with our arab partners to protect the people of libya against the murderous planning of gaddafi, why did we take a role alongside our partners in doing so, there were a number of reasons for that and i think it is important to remind the american people where we were at the time when the people of libya, like people across the region, rose up demanding freedom and democracy, a chance to chart their own futures. and gaddafi threatened them with genocide, with hunting them down like cockroaches, and we were then approached by great intensity. our closest allies in europe, people who felt very strongly, the french and the british, but others as well that they could not stand idly by and permit

gaddafi fell. that's what i'm trying to explain to you. mrs. roby: i want to get to the second part of the email that suggests that we were in lockdown, that you would have been upset to no, yes. heard the first part of your answer. we were in lockdown. you said on numerous occasions, including your opening statement, point number one, america must lead and we must represent in dangerous places, quote, they can't do their jobs for us in bunkers. essentially what we know is that there weren't the required number of security oned ground in order for the individual to even move about the country to provide you with what you have reiterated on numerous occasions as being very important at that time which is political reporting. secretary clinton: could you tell me who is did -- who are the names on this emails you are talking about? mrs. roby: turn to tab 31. you have a book in front of you. yenia lice abdallah, and saterais. secretary clinton: they were not on my staff. i'm not in any way contradicting what they think they heard or what they heard

gaddafi running libya? the consequences of nonintervention are also worth considering. huddleston. >> thank you, mr.aker. constituency is benefiting from infrastructure investments such as the significant improvements of the motorway. does the prime minister agree that the recently announced and independent national commission inl pay -- play a key role improving in securing the nation's long-term economic policy? >> i am delighted we are establishing the national infrastructure commission. i hope it can put some of these questions about infrastructure beyond party politics. i think that would be a thoroughly good thing. i am delighted, he made a great contribution in government, he will be someone who is running it. i know the argument -- the honorable gentleman will make sure the cotswold line is looked after carefully by the infrastructure commission. where do we find a good labor policy? we implement it. you know what we are doing. you know what we are doing tonight. we are implementing what was a week ago a labor policy. hold on. shouting] >> the prime minister may finish his answer. for which

gaddafi, they would have inherited the libyan nuclear program. they went in and took that back to the libyans and that uncovered mr.kann, a pakistani engineer who had a major hand in building nuclear inventory, nuclear-weapons for pakistan and he had gone into business for himself. instead of a black market operation libya was his biggest customer but he also had been involved with north koreans, iranians, if you go back to 1987, in a meeting and hotel in dubai, it was con's people who got $3 million in return for providing the basic design of centrifuges for the iranians, 1987 iranians get their start with something, we shut him down, he went to pakistan and we shut down his black-market operations. those are all examples where we use military or the threat of military operations to halt the proliferation in 2007, in my office and the west wing, he had photographs of israeli intelligence taken inside a nuclear reactor built by the north koreans or syrians in eastern syria. that was in 2007 and the israelis took it out. imagine what would have happened if they hadn't taken it out. the middle of isis territory, part

mrs. clinton's schedule shows that she was in washington d.c. and made three trips to the white house. the former state department official said it was not known what was discussed. but the olive branch from gaddafi's son would need the president's input. >> in all likelihood, anything like this would have been closely coordinated with the white house and national security advisor and president and chief of staff and it was a huge decision on whether or not to act militarily. >> the general did not respond for a request. and mrs. clinton does not address the incident where a entire chapter supporting the libyan revolution. >> thank you. >> there is a shift in schedule for the upcoming house speaker vote and how a delay could shape the race between mccarthy and chaffetz. >> you heard about the twinkie defense. one suspect cited a bad reaction to a vaccination. will his needle defense carry weight in the trial? our legal panel breaks down the case. today, jason is here to volunteer to help those in need. when a twinge of back pain surprises him. morning starts in high spirits but there's a growing pain in his lower back. as lines grow longer, his pain continues to linger. but after a long day of help

gaddafi needed support and what they were provided was air support facilitated by the united states. the united states did not provide any private contractors to assist them. there was an email from mr blumenthal discussing the same situation. do you know who mark tury is. >> no, i don't recall that i know who that is. >> he was a private trafficker in weapons. he was working with mr stephens and attempting to develop an authorisation with the state department so he could, in fact, deliver the weapons into libya. does any of that ring a bell to you? >> no, it does not. >> so you never saw the email from mr stephens to - i think it went to mr sullivan, where he says to mr tury, this is mr stephens says to mr tury "thank you for this information" information about attempts to get authority to ship arms into libya. he says "thank you for this information, i'll keep it in mind and share it with my colleagues in washington" regards chris, actually, regards chris stephens. >> i don't know anything about that specifically. i do know that you're referring to a document. and if you are, could you tell us what tab it's at. >> yes, ma'am. i'm not certain it's in there as a tab. i'm happy to pr

gaddafi's forces were still battling the rebels. ms. clinton: that is right. >> were you personally briefed before you sent mr. stevens into benghazi?nton: i was personally told by the officials who were in the state department who were chris, who above were making the plans for him to go in, that it was going to the expeditionary diplomacy. it was going to require him to make a lot of judgments on the ground about what he could accomplish and including where it would be safer him to be, and how long for him to say. i think the initial decision was up to 30 days and reassess, but it could have been 10 days or 60 days, depending on what he found and reported back to us. >> who were those officials? ms. clinton: there were a number of officials. >> that were advising you on the security specifically. ms. clinton: this was a particular concern of the assistant secretary for the bureau in which chris ware. >> i'm sorry, what was that person's name? ms. clinton: assistant secretary the assistantand secretary for a diplomatic security and other officials within the state department. i think it is fair to say, this was a risky undertaking
