it is a message to muammar gaddafi and the world and our allies. we are engaged in this endeavor, at the same time, i think i raised this issue initially in one of the hearings, and we put in legislation with respect to the use of muammar gaddafi frozen assets and a long-term payment. i think one of the benefits of successful outcomes in libya, when it happens, is that this is a country of 6 million people. it is actually smaller and population the of the population my state, massachusetts, but it is an enormous country with vast assets, in particular revenues from oil. i think therefore there is a huge ability to have a manageable post-muammar gaddafi effort, but at the same time our expenses are important. i think senator isaacson wanted to encompass and this resolution some reflection of our need to deal with those expenses. i think they have done a good job of doing that. we have embraced that. so i personally will support this amendment. i think it is a good one. senator lugar, i think he wanted to comment. >> mr. chairman, i am doubtful about

muammar gaddafi is a terrible guy. the reality is, since 2003, he has turned over his weapons- grade material to us and does not allowed al-qaeda to operate within his territory. if you are going to decide to take him out because he is a bad guy -- why we got into this is a mystery i think to everybody. the reality is we just decided weant to be on the side of the arab street or the uprising. we thought muammar gaddafi was going to fall pretty quickly. it turned out he has an army at even after we pounded it is willing to fight at some level. he has a measure of popular support. the rebels that we have aligned with are not strong enough to bring this to a successful conclusion. i do not think it has been well thought through. it is true that there is a nato operation under way, but again, the alliance was not created simply to police the world. it was created to protect its members. the united states was attacked from afghanistan. it does not make a lot of sense r us to be in libya unless you e going to intervene polit

do we at this particular moment, when muammar gaddafi is bunkered down in tripoli, when yesterday the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for him for crimes against humanity, where there was a nato mission aimed at stopping such atrocities. do we really want to stop that operation? that is what it comes down to. there have been some very good amendments, that we can work through, that can help to refine some of the arguments and some of the limits. i think that is healthy, and i look forward to that. so i personal believe that the passage of this resolution can be an important step and will certainly be heard by the rest of the world. i want to emphasize that to the members of the committee. what we are doing here today is not of small consequence, and i have always said to the members, and i think you know this, that we are strongest as a country, and we advance our interests most effectively when we can find the common ground. i hope we can find that common ground in the course of our deliberations now. so the joint resolution has three critical elements. first it

in the face of the atrocities committed by muammar gaddafi this year, the united states did have an obligation to protect the libyan people from the very real threat of massacre. i supported and applauded 1973 to protect libyan civilians and was encouraged by the strong international consensus surrounding the issue and have supported u.s. military gateman as one per punt -- one component of the project led by nato. i have real and growing concerns about the approach to the role -- the war powers issue in the president the president has said here. i have always found to enable and compelling advocate i'm reminded -- i'm reminded of the old saw -- when the facts are on your -- today, you have argued the facts. yet argued as ably as one possibly could and explained a very narrow reading of hostilities. a number of the senators to have spoken before me reflected the fact our constituents are finding very real tension between a common sense understanding of hostilities in the exercise of statutory construction in which you are engaged in your role to define these narrowing factors of mission, expos

they are concerned about muammar gaddafi getting away.hey told the president, we are putting you on notice. you may have to be clearer about what we are doing and how long we will be there, or we will stop the funding. it costs a lot of money for this operation. there has been no supplemental for the department of defense, which means in the middle of two other wars in afghanistan and iraq, you are taking equipment away from the troops that have to fight those wars. it is not being supplemented. host: time for one more call, raleigh, north carolina, republican line. caller: i believe we should pull out of libya, bring our warships over and protect afghanistan with them. what we are talking about in congress yesterday is far worse than what nixon did. not going through congress is just as bad if not worse as what mr. nixon did. host: we will take a look at the state of the auto industry coming up. the pages of most of the paper this morning reflects economic news by the labor purer -- bureau. bureau. the unemployment rate changed to 9.1%.

necessary measures to protect libyan civilians attempting to overthrow the oppressive regime of muammar gaddafi. the gaddafi government's response to the uprising waso use force against civilians in opposition forces and the brutal measures prompted the international outcry and the u.n. action. at the time the president stated clearly our leadership of the nato effort would last a matter of days not weeks. while the direct u.s. leadership of this effort lasted a brief time, u.s. forces remain engaged in the nato operation and at this point it is clear that members of congress are not comftable with the extent of information they have beeniven about the direction, duration, or cost of the operation. under the war powers act the president has an obligation to report to congress and to seek concurrence if our military involvement extends longer than 60 days. and clearly such consultation has not been effectively accomplished. we are encouraged by statements from the obama administration that u.s. ground forces will not be used in libya. last week, 416 members of congress supported the conyers amen

muammar gaddafi who before osama bin laden was responsible for more american deaths than just about anybody on the planet was threatening to massacre his people. and as part of an international coalition under a u.n. mandate that is almost unprecedented, we went in and took out air defense systems so that an international coalition could provide a no fly zone and protect and provide humanitarian protection to people on the ground. i spoke to the american people about what we would do. i said there would be no troops on the ground. i said that we would not be carrying the lion's share of this operation. but as members of nato, we would be supportive of it, because it's been our national security interest and also because it's the right thing to do. we have done exactly what i said we would do. we have not put any boots on the ground, and our allies who historically we have complained aren't willing to carry enough of the load when it comes to nato operations, have carried a big load when it comes to these nato operations, and as a consequence, we've perfected thousands of people in lib yea.

have tried to justify the ends or the means for the end -- and die have talked about libya and muammar gaddafi in your handling of this. those are two very, very separate issues. people have very differing opinions about what is happening in libya but still have strong concerns about the way the administration has handled the process itself. i do not think it is helpful to meld the two together and i think of waters downhe issue at hand. i find a humorous, sitting here on the foreign relations committee, the most deliberative body in the world, some say. basically you guys have not provided witnesses from the department of justice or the pentagon. we seem to take that as a humorous thing. the administration has basically said there's no reason for us to get any better resolution from congress, and yet the senate today in this urge to be relevant is rushing to give the administration irresolution even though it is basically saying in this case that the senate is irrelevant. i want to ask this one question -- now you have taken this argument and seen the response you got from both sides of the a

the president should do it will really give added weight to those within the inner circle of muammar gaddafi and think it will accelerate the process. i think it is important that a statement like this be made. >> i am not the caboose on this particular amendment. if it runs into trouble, i want to reserve the right to offer my standing. >> you always have this right. we can deal with a division or a separate amendment. i anderson appeared you are not -- i understand. you're not exhibiting some traditional about this, are you? >> i have learned that being insecure is the best way to act. >> will then you are now secure. >> i think there are tedious separate issues. one is the recognition of the transitional national council. the other is the reimbursement of the funds for the cost of operations. i support senator isaacson is position on the reimbursement of funds for the costs. let me explain why oppose the resolution on recognition. this resolution is one where congress is exercising its constitutional authority. when we have troops that are in this delay. that is what -- we should be invol

i think we have a much better idea of who the forces in libya fighting against muammar gaddafi are thanas been said and we know this because they control roughly half the country right now. what our mission was able to do is stop muammar gaddafi from ing able to crush the folks who are rising up against him and retake the territory that they have. so in benghazi and in most of i think it's eastern libya, it is controlled by these opposition forces. and by all accounts they a running a very sensible government. it is not an islamic state, it does not have al qaeda influence, it has a bunch of people who are simply trying to exercise free expression tt they have been denied for nearly 40 years by muammar gaddafi. we have a very good ea who these people are. they are precisely the type of people that the united states of america should be supporting. and as i mentioned before, in our great struggle against al qaeda, one of the centerpieces of it is ideological. the ideology that bin laden and many others advance is very antiwestern and their biggest government is that the west has consiste
