ambassador john bolton. the former u.n. ambassador for the united states. he made the point that the united states should be in lead although it is our intention apparently to turn it over to our command over to a nonu.s. official and the second point you were about to make, mr. ambassador, just prior to the commercial break? >> the point the president, our president has been making is that this mission is to protect innocent libyan civilians but also making the point for the last month that the principal threat to innocent libyan civilians is moammar qaddafi. what is it that says the military mission should result in him staying in power? there may be a political objective to change the machine. i think this is the prescription for real confusion in the near future. >> geraldo: it may be the prescription, mr. ambassador, i believe with what little i know that it could be the prescription for mission creep. today we want to protect the civilians injuries tomorrow we want to kill qaddafi or get him
