the arguments always benefit the administration because they can always change the narrative. nobody watched the libya war, horrible ratings. he didn t even get a second station. tom: shuli, i agree with my panel here, probably even at jessica. it was ridiculous for the press to talk about the crowd size, this wasn t one person tweeting it out, all of the news organizations devoted time to talking about comparing these photos. when i saw the turnout at, the empty white spaces were people were standing for obama in that photo, my first thought was he has my agent. tom: use all this picture and you felt bad for trump. i m a comic. i know what it s like when you have a big show and nobody turns out, it s depressing. what s even more depressing is still having to do that show for those few that turned out and on
should be removed for the greater benefit of the country, eventually, after a solution can be figured out. in another part of the middle east, richard, more honesty about the post-gadhafi reality. reporter: he talked about libya and he brought us back to that benghazi moment. if you remember, and a lot of people don t exactly remember how and what the rationale given at the time for launching the libya war, the libya war had been going on for sometime and rebels primarily in the benghazi area were fighting against the gadhafi government and the gadhafi government making a massive counter offensive with advancing toward benghazi. gadhafi threatening to flatten the city and kill the people inside he was calling rock coaches and when will a nato participation the u.s. got involved, bombing gadhafi s
administration. i think the, look, she s she did. right. i think it s not going to be that credible. she has she s going to have to run the campaign being linked to the iraq war and the libya war. both wars that have turned out very badly. i think that s going to be tough. and obama s foreign policy let paul paul, i want to remind viewers, you support a pro-hillary clinton super pac. i m for i d be for hillary if nobody paid me. okay? i m for hillary. i love her. i think she d be a terrific president. with the debate will go in the general, peter, is the next iraq war. a lot of republicans want, as they say, boots on the ground. martin o malley had a good moment where he talked about a mom of a soldier saying don t call my kid a pair of boots on the ground. that s the phrase republicans like. they want to reinvade iraq. the general election debate could well be on national security. a much a much bigger debate about should the united states invade iraq yet again.
e-mail. she gave 55,000 pages worth. is it security accountability? what is it for you? the politics of it is interesting to me. it s beside the point. i m a national security guy. i have been worried about benghazi from the start. i think it s a bipartisan scandal that goes back to the libya war, which was not just an obama initiative. he was pushed into it by high ranking republicans who wanted it as well. this was a policy decision that was made to abandon a counterterrorism alliance we had with the gadhafi regime that went back a number of years and basically switched sides knowing a lot of people on the other side were jihadists and for that reason, i have been worried from the start that it s not just the democrats who have an interest in obstructing the inquiry into benghazi. walter, we were talking about this before. look at libya.
losing the focus of our system and becoming less formal. we went from presidential orders to memorandau. and the president has been very blunt, if you don t do what i want, i will act unilaterally. with the new majority, they should be able to use that, in my opinion too, stop a lot of what the president wants to do. right? many of the changes that he ordered were ordered by him unilaterally. he did not get appropriations or approval. the libya war was funded entirely out of discretionary fund. so that s what makes this so
