the you had gates on the other hand and the pentagon saying look -- >> and mullen. >> and mullen.ld see from the interview with mullen, how much, you know. but they, once the arab league over the weekend sort of swung behind, there have been so many things nobody expected with the libya case. nobody thought the arab league would come and say yes, we want a no-fly zone as well. once the arab league did and the obama administration was faced with the specter of possibly seeing on tv, the slaughter in benghazi. hillary clinton got during a meeting in paris, in the paris hotel room on tuesday, met with the uae leader and he agreed to pledge arab, arab troops and arab fighter pilots to the cause. and at that point she sort of flipped over and that started the switch for obama. but he still doesn't seem to be, his heart doesn't seem to be really in it. >> and i think as helene has reported, clinton was driving this because of what she was hearing from the allies as well. susan rice, did a remarkable job at the u.n. no one could have predicted, even critics of the policy could not predic

i'll be joined here in the studios by chairman mike mullen. to discuss what's being called operation odyssey dawn. >>> but first, the latest headlines in the fast-moving story. a defiant moammar gadhafi is promising a long war, one day after the united states and a broad international coalition launched military strikes on his country. british and american ships and submarines fired 112 cruise missiles on more than 20 targets on the coast. b-2 bombers took out targets. all part of the largest intervention in the muslim world since the start of the iraq war. there are plans to impose a no-fly zone to keep gadhafi from firing on his own people. sunday, tripoli shook with explosions and anti-aircraft fire. libyan state television reported that 48 people were killed. today, on in a phone call to libyan television, gadhafi said they stand strong to fight. fight crusaders. this is a fight that he says they will win. >> translator: you are not capable of a pro longed -- for a prolonged war in libya. we consider ourselves ready for a long war. be awar

night less than forty eight hours before the first two hundred tomahawk missiles were fired it's mullen repeated over and over again there would be no american ground troops there will be no american boots on the ground in libya who is the person on the ground that is directing close air support missions against gadhafi forces there's no one on the ground the recent press reports at least indicate there are cia operatives on the ground so boots on the ground as i would define it and if other sending troops i guess is we'd all read about it in the newspapers the same time i see that's my concern is that we read about things in the newspaper and then we get to come and ask the questions he has formally handed control to nato today and you know operation odyssey dawn and beginning operation unified protector but newspapers quoting vatican sources said that forty civilians were killed in coalition air strikes guaranteeing that there will be plenty of more questions for it's hard american military brass here in washington for an artsy washington d.c. so we've just gotten tough questions pose

secretary gates, admiral mullen and other military leaders have repeatedly and clearly warned us about the dangers of failing to pass a full-year defense funding bill.

where secretary of defense robert gates and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff admiral mike mullen testified before congress was the first time they've done that since the u.s. started its involvement in libya are just how important has more on the model nature of the mission and the anger at spring for some lawmakers. twelve days into the u.s. bombing of libya. u.s. congressman were hoping to finally get some answers but after two hours of questioning the secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff they were still confusion about the u.s. is ending and i think a policy success would be the removal of. the gadhafi regime the military mission is a limited one and does not include regime change. the rebels that we don't have much visibility into into those who have risen against gadhafi each element has its

we'll have an update on talk with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, admiral mike mullen live on "fox news sunday." then two leading senators weigh in on the mix, lindsey graham and jack reed. japan works t work contain a nr disaster. we will get the latest from japan and talk with the secretary of energy steven chu. plus, we ask our sunday panel if the president is taking the lead on these issues or following. all right now on "fox news sunday." hello again from fox news in washington where we are tracking two major stories. we have a reporter in libya where the u.s. and its allies are using military force to protect the antiqaddafi rebels. and in japan, where officials are making progress toward bringing a nuclear plant under control. we'll have more on that later and talk with the secretary of energy. first, libya, u.s. stealth bombers struck a major libyan airfield. and qaddafi called the raids terrorism and said the attackers will be defeated. let's get the latest from steve harrigan in tripoli. >> the strikes overnight targeted not just the air defenses but the command a

you were talking about the arab league with admiral mullen. the arab league is providing critical political support. already today, the arab league is saying, this is not the kind of military operation they signed up for when they called for a no-fly zone. >> schieffer: okay, david. thanks to you too for helping us put this in some perspective. when we come back, the story on japan which still goes on. we'll be right back. [ female announcer ] right now he's not thinking about his future. he can't say social security... much less tell you what it means. he doesn't know that his parents are counting on the money they pay in. or that the hard earned benefits his grandparents receive... are secure. right now he's not thinking about his future. but we are. aarp has been working to preserve social security for more than 50 years. join us in a conversation to strengthen it for years to come. >> schieffer: now to the other story. the story that will not go away. the story in japan. cbs's "60 minutes" correspondent scott pelley is in our tokyo bureau

i will address my first question to admiral mullen. before i start, i want to thank all of our panel today for your wonderful service and deep caring about our military and it's equipment and resources. admiral mullen, you have mentioned previously that diplomatic and foreign aide are just as vital as the military role in our overall success wordwide, in particular in afghanistan and pakistan. can you help and comment more specifically on the importance of diplomacy and foreign assistance in addressing the channels -- challenges worldwide? : the shoulder to shoulder commute and to work the use issues together. and it really is a piece of this that has huge not just near-term but long-term implications. in the end, it's relatively inexpensive if you get it right and you don't end up in any kind of conflict. i mean, wages compared the kind of resources we've extended in these wars, the investments that we've made on the military side, for instance, in egypt. $1.3 billion a year is not a small amount of money. when you look over 30 years

perspective on yet another war but on capitol hill congress held meetings on libya without parole mike mullen and robert gates today so have details on what was discussed and we'll find out if a clear mission with clear goals has finally been created and we'll have details on the latest court of appeals ruling which justifies keeping a good mo detainee without any proof that he was actually involved with al qaeda so we'll bring you details on this ruling and will determine if it's just another glaring example of obama going back on his promise about closing guantanamo bay next we'll look into how the mainstream media is covering libya when i guess n.b.c. host made a very strong statements on the show last night which leads us to ask if the mainstream media is choosing partisanship over analysis and then could there really be a silver lining to the budget big growing in congress the democrats and republicans may have finally reached an agreement about probably won't make the tea party very happy considering that they took their anger to d.c. to protest today so what's going to happen next we'l

and on nbc's "meet the press," joint chiefs chairman admiral mike mullen declared that moammar gadhafi's air force has been grounded. >> he hasn't had had any aircraft or helicopters flying the last couple days, so effectively that no-fly zone has been put in place. >> reporter: but a trail of burned out tanks, trucks and cars provided dramatic evidence that the u.s. military operation has escalated well beyond the no-fly zone. for the first time today, u.s. air force f-15s and 16s along with british and french fighters attacked libyan ground troops on the road to benghazi. the attack reportedly killed dozens of libyan military. [ gunfire ] as armed rebels celebrated, u.s. military officials denied the attack was to support anti-gadhafi forces but aimed, instead, at protecting civilians. >> actually, they were mechanized positions and they were advancing on benghazi. and so to protect the libyan people, we took them under attack. >> reporter: critics claim whatever you call it the u.s. is already in too deep, caught up in another war. >> we can say this is for humanitarian purposes, we c

>> reporter: well, you know, admiral mullen said today it is possible that gadhafi could remain in power and it could be mission accomplished but the only way that would happen would be for him to really truly honor the cease-fire and all those other commands in the u.n. resolution, and frankly, not many people expect that to happen. so, for now, if gadhafi does not back down, this truly seems like an open-ended commitment to a no-fly zone, david. >> martha raddatz, thank you. >>> as we heard martha report there, the bombings have taken out fixed targets. so, the question now, what's next? i spoke to a former marine pilot who has enforced no-fly zones. we talked just moments ago. colonel, good to have you with us again tonight. you are the map there with you. show us where coalition forces have already hit. >> david, the red dots on the map indicate the fixed surface to air missile sites that have been the focus of efforts in the past 24 hours. >> and you were telling me the next major challenge are the libyan mobile units? >> the mobile units are going to be very difficult. by their ver

this morning, admiral mike mullen said the operation against libya has made significant progress andthan gadhafi's forces have been haled in benghazi. with us now is retired u.s. army general barry mccaffrey. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> i know you've been listening to the coverage. mick was describing the cruise missile attacks against air defense targets and also b-2 attacks against airfields and f-15 attacks on ground troops. this seems to be going far beyond what we were told a no-fly zone. is it clear to you what the military objectives are here? >> i find it very encouraging to put the power of the u.s. air force against gadhafi's ground combat capability, artillery under the u.n. resolution, they are authorized to protect civilian life. they're interpreting this broadly. this will finally make a difference. the air cap was nonsensical. >> the air cap meaning denying libyan airplanes from getting in the air. what's left for the military if that objective is done? >> we'll have to see what gadhafi's next moves are. he's smart and he is, he'll move

this morning we welcome secretary gates, chairman admiral mullen, undersecretaryir mr. hale for what should prove to be an interesting hearing.st we come to you, to each other iw a little different type of time than we have had in theth past. there seems to be more there seems to be more pressure to reduce spending on defense, which is something we're not really used to. we are in a different era now. we are in an era of starting the process for the fy 12 defense appropriations bill, but we're still not finished with the fy 11 appropriations bill, despite the fact that the election is halfway over. it is not that we can lay any blame on the chairman mr. dicks because he and i am a subcommittee worked very hard to prepare this bill last year and if we had our way, we would have been on the floor and pass before christmas, before thanksgiving actually. anyway, we do have the issue of trying to find money from the defense budget that is not needed. we will do that as we did we did make sure that we did not adversely affect readiness for our troops. and i would make this pr

before taking questions and turning it over to the admiral mullen, i would like to note the passing of the corporal frank buckles, the last living veteran from world war i. i had the honor of meeting mr. thank etd to buckles three years ago at the pentagon honoring world war i generation. as i said then, we will always be grateful for these veterans did for their country, and in mr. buckles's case, we are all glad that he had the longevity that he had enjoyed on this earth. admiral? >> thank you, mr. secretary. with me start by saying i fully concur with a senior leader recommendations he made. i know each of these officers very well and i watch them work and lead and fight in some very difficult times, and i know each of them will perform their duties with the same energy and innovation with which they have served their entire career. all of the great leaders in their own right and all of them are ready for the challenges you proposed and they now take on. the chiefs and i look forward to working with them and will give them our full support should the president see fit to nominate th

i will address my first question to admiral mullen. before i start, i want to thank all of our panel today for your wonderful service and deep caring about our military and it's equipment and resources. admiral mullen, you have mentioned previously that diplomatic and foreign aide are just as vital as the military role in our overall success wordwide, in particular in

admiral mullen's guidance for 2011 which states that the department of defense would, quote, continue to plan for a prod range of military options -- broad range of military options should the president decide to use force to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear arms needs to be reiterated. while not the preferred option, it is important that iran understand that military actions remain on the table. i am concerned about the fraying of our special operations forces as you have put it, admiral olson, while our special operations forces have seen rapid growth over the past decade, the demand for such forces and their unique skills will continue to outpace supply for the foreseeable future. this committee stands prepared to support socom's efforts to provide the best trained and best equipped special operators to our combatant commands, and we look forward to hearing from you on this matter. thank you again, both of you, for your testimony today, and let me now turn this over to senator mccain. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and let me thank our witnesses for joining us this morning. admiral

gates and admiral mike mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff appeared before congress to discuss the u.s. involvement in libya. one new development: reports quoting u.s. officials that cia teams are now operating in rebel-hel today, gates declined to comment on any c.i.a. activity, but did respond to questions about the president's promise of no american military forces, so- called "boots on the ground." >> are there any boots on the ground? >> not that i'm aware of? >> so we're saying we're not going to put any boots on the ground but neither have our allies? >> that's my understanding and the opposition has said they don't want any. >> so is there any time on the future that there might be allies boots on ground in libya? >> not as long as i'm in this job. >> brown: questions about the strength libyan rebel forces came up as well and secretary gates acknowledged that the opposition appeared to have no coherent leadership. he was asked whether terrorist groups were likely to use that situation to their advantage. >> if we're not dealing with cohesive group, are you concerned al

along with defense secretary gates, the national intelligence director, james clapper, and michael mullen. when congress reconvenes next week. we are expecting shortly hillary clinton on the latest on libya. >> we are expecting to hear from secretary clinton at about 6:15. obviously delayed a little bit. in the meantime we will take you to the pentagon to a briefing held this afternoon by vice admiral william gorfy -- gortney. this is about 25 minutes. >> good afternoon, everyone. thank you for being with me. let's get to it. on the slide to my left, you will see a quick snapshot of what we've been doing the last day or so. i would like to point out, ships at sea have launched another 14 tomahawk missiles. and scud missile garrisons near tripoli. we had a total of 140, 49 of which were strike-related. meaning they were designed to hit a designated target. of those totals, roughly have were flown by partner nations, and nearly all or 75% of those in support of the no-fly zone are being passed by coalition partners. next slide, please. this is a good depiction of what the no-fly zone looks

>> reporter: well, admiral mullen was asked that. he says that gadhafi is more isolated than ever. but he says that gadhafi would be able to remain in power, if he adheres to the standards and the requirements of the u.n. resolutions. and also, if he honors the demands of the cease-fire. at this point, that is considered to be a big if. rob and peggy? >> see all this continues to play out. emily schmidt, live in washington this morning. thanks. >>> libya's rebel fighters, meanwhile, say the allied intervention is putting them on a more playing field. >> they were almost down and out after a week of pounding by gadhafi's forces. alex marquardt reports from the rebel front lines in eastern libya. >> reporter: gadhafi's ammunition supplies, used against rebels. the burned-out carcasses of a convoy, apparently taken out by european and u.s. bombs on the edge of the rebel capital. the rebels celebrated. >> it's over. >> reporter: in fact, it's far from over. in the west, the rebel-held city of misratah, continues to be attacked by gadhafi forces. >> they are destroying everything here.

interested in democracy in the middle east or north africa unless it suits their purposes as admiral mullen said a few days ago the big difference between libya and bahrain is that libya is an enemy and bahrain is an ally we don't have any consistent principles when it comes to intervention or the united states doesn't islam what do you think about that no principles yeah i disagree with this is statement i think this is not really the united states this is about libya. so what we have here is i agree with you even to only agree. and the issue here is that you have the libyan opposition is asking for intervention. there if you want to point out the situation is very different well i mean there's lots of people asking for intervention and i mean just because some group asks the u.s. to intervene doesn't mean that we should do it and in fact the united states has such a bad record of military intervention over the last fifty years i think we should just stay out of all of these countries but this is trade with all you know we have and let me i'm determine their own futures. is what you want t

example, particularly between our military, between secretary gates, the field marshal, between admiral mullen and his counterpart was only possible because of 30 years of close cooperation. so we have to look at each situation as we find it. we don't have that kind of relationship with a country like syria. we just sent back an ambassador for the first time after some years. and as you recall, you know, the administration decided we needed to do that because we wanted somebody on the inside. the congress was not so convinced that it would make a difference. each of these, we are looking at and analyzing carefully, but we can't draw some general sweeping conclusions about the entire region. >> schieffer: let's talk about libya a little, then. we have the u.n. resolution is in place. it's established a no-fly zone. nato is going take over the operations there. but it does not call for regime change. and the president has said that mr. qaddafi has to go. that seems a bit contradictory. >> i don't think so. i think what you're seeing is the difference between a military mission and a policy objec

not only has secretary clinton made the point, so has secretary gates, admiral mullen, general o'reilly, vice president biden and president obama. and i have said it before and i'm going to say it again, we will continue to develop and deploy effective missile defenses and to develop a budget even in these difficult times to implement our missile defense strategy. now, let me turn to europe and russia since our plans for a european missile defense architecture have gotten so much attention there. the united states has no more important security relationship than we do with our nato allies in europe. that relationship continues to grow. when i first started working on missile defense issues around 1997, our nato and european allies were very skeptical, to say the least. but there's been a huge change in europe's attitude. and particularly nato's attitude toward missile defense. i've been impressed with my counterparts and the discussions with them in my european and nato meetings by how much and how quickly they have embraced territorial mission defense as a mission there are more key co

and her guest will be admiral mike mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. >>> the attack by the u.s. and coalition partners will degrade gadhafi's conventional forces, but the libyan leader has threatened not only defiance, but to retaliate, even bringing down passenger jets. his regime did that once before, so how serious is the recent threat? david muir joins us now. >> i asked that question about the planes, the risks, and could gadhafi seek revenge in other ways? i sat down with a 25-year veteran of the fbi, a former special agent who worked counterterrorism just a short time ago here. the libyan leader made the threat, any military threat against libya and consider any air and maritime activity reason for a counter attack. namely, planes. going into this, we knew what gadhafi's threat was, but can he carry out on that threat? >> he has the will to do so. the question is his capabilities. he doesn't have the capabilities he used to have. militarily, they're limited. large scale, bio chem attack, i don't think so. >> when he talks about taking out planes? >> i think his abili

the views of secretary state clinton, secretary defense gates, chairman of joint chiefs, admiral mullen, former chairman general powell, general petraeus, president obama, former president's george hw bush and george w. bush and every national security adviser, they all made clear these investments do protect u.s. security. the investments the house say are not prior to security interests. every one of these people i named say it directly affects our national security interests, not only in the front lines, but around the world. president reagan, former homeland security ridge also recognizes the connection between international assistance and our security. president reagan said security assistance programs, the essential complement to our protection enhances the united states. secretary reid said the programmings supported by the international affairs budget are essential to national security as defense programs. secretary gates says i never miss an opportunity to call for more funding on diplomacy and development. there's a whole lot of other examples, both republicans and democratic
