u.s./libyan council.e know there are people in the group that are former ministers of the libyan government, people that were dissidents in libya who he got rid of politically. there are a number of other prominent clerics and doctors and lawyers, peoples of the general society. and i have heard that is the vast majority of this group. al qaeda always takes advantage of turmoil, so there is no doubt about it that there may be fighters out there, but certainly nato is not taking steps to protect your support what al qaeda is doing. what they're trying to do is protect innocent libyan civilians and hopefully allow for rebel forces, not al qaeda forces, the rebel forces being able to succeed in ousting muammar gaddafi. host: let's go to the next calller. caller: i wanted to make a quick comment about this mess and libya. president obama said operations in iraq, that they will withdraw all of the u.s. forces. you know, we need to get out of afghanistan in set of starting these wars over there in this region w

u.s. as one of the members of the u.n. security council to support a no fly zone in libya and how perhaps it differs from other countries what's going on there say the ivory coast are rain and yemen talk about the difference here. well underway first of all i think that this is deja vu all over i mean i can hardly believe my eyes and ears when i see that they are starting to do again what they did in the balkans that they are threatening now like they've been in close to thirty eight years ago against iraq over alleged weapons of mass destruction that they're not even exist but it did cost one point three million iraqi lives so i think we have to be very careful as to the pursuit decision of the information given by the western mainstream media regarding what is really happening in libya and of course we do not like some of those images but if britain were to fight against the ira or spain against a separatist e.t.a. group and they want to take action would we also correct name later we would be already threatening to intervene in britain
