bed when it got dark and now there are more opportunities and a recent survey by the national sleep foundation found that 90% of people reported using electronics in the hour before bedtime. bill: i m one of them! your advice, then? what do we do, change the schedule? do we operate differently? you make a good point. we weren t built to operate in the dark, were we? no, we re not, and, with all of these other opportunities, we are finding that, probably over the last 50 years, americans are getting between an hour and hour-and-a-half less sleep than they used to and is not a surprise that they are getting sleepier and that that affects performance. the answers to this are simple which is get more sleep, and it s not really simple. it means we have to look at our work schedules and make sure the types of schedules make central banks they are rotating in a direction that works with the body s internal clock and limiting the amount of time you spend on these extended shifts, and nightti
i think there s another part to his message and it might be that zawahiri is trying to protest or at least make the case that al-qaeda is not already there, and frankly, there are indicators and intelligence reports that al-qaeda does currently have a president amongst the rebels a presence amongst the rebels. bill: and i have two specific questions for you: qaddafi doesn t like al-qaeda and al-qaeda doesn t like qaddafi. those are questions those aren t questions, those are statements, and you are correct. bill: when you take that into consideration, this audio recorded recording, this warning or urging to get muslims from the license region to join the fight, that was actually issued before the air war began. should we not have known that? we might have known that, bill, and what happens in many, many cases, is you ve got to validate the authenticity of what you re hearing and what you re seeing, and that takes place. intelligence agencies
he s in the military chain of command, so, he s not going to tell me what he thinks on a thing like that. i m sure he told the president. but, you know, at this point, he s gotten his orders from the commander-in-chief and is going to execute them and, i think there s a feeling, though, let me say, that things can be done in this process. if qaddafi doesn t pull the troops back and, mullen said that as part of protecting the civilians they can take out qaddafi s tank force, they can take out his artillery, that are still ringed around benghazi and no sign they had been pulled back yet you can do a lot of things to weaken the infrastructure and other forces can come in, not the u.s., necessarily, to help the rebels regain the initiative which they had a few weeks ago and, because this international community did not intervene, qaddafi took back the offensive. eric: is there a possibility, as mentioned earlier with ambassador bolton, the british or the french foreign legion or others c
them. a couple of questions for you. first of all, you did call this a war. second of all, you said it s one we ve already lost. how so? air power wins you nothing. president reagan in 1986 went after qaddafi with air power. killed a few people, stopped terrorism for a little bit. ultimately did nothing. if air power could have won anything, we would have won in iraq and afghanistan. it doesn t. it breaks up a lot of concrete. it destroys some equipment. at the end of the day, fighting is about killing, and it means boots on the ground. which the president said he s not going to do. well, then he s defeated because qaddafi will stay. ultimately his position has been from the start regime change. he s changed his tune now a little bit, but if that s his real belief that qaddafi doesn t have to go, he should not have taken us to war on the spur of the moment without using the constitution as it was written. yet another war conducted by one man because he wants to. that s pretty clo
it for us from the breaking news desk. jenna: breaking into our newsroom brand-new video showing libyan opposition fighters trying to shoot down a military plane. rebels taking on proqaddafi forces arming themselves saying if qaddafi doesn t leave they are going to kill him and his sons as well. qaddafi forces so far unable to break up rebels in the territory they hold. it s not that the opposition doesn t have the capability to take on the strongholds in the west including tripoli. we will have a guest later on in the program to talk about who really has the strength here, is qaddafi really going anywhere. so far no movements there. jon: the rebels are trying to shoot down the aircraft because qaddafi has ordered the air force to drop bombs on his own people. some have said including myself that we ought to eupl suppose ay
