use intervention, war, skirmish, what is it. u.s. interests are not being met if gadhafi stays in power and if we are taking a backseat to the arab league, united nations, nato leadership. while we put our finger up in the air and decide what the political winds are around the world. not necessarily knowing and believing that the u.s. interests must come first in this. greta: in reviewing his speech what he said tonight and rereading it several times. there are a lot of nuances. i thought, if in times of war that you have to explain it in nuances it does mean that you don t have a clear sense of why we are there. what we re doing. what our objective is. when you have to go well it is a little bit this, a little that. that s what i found disconcerting. that s disconcerting. i had a little hope when he mentioned the north star. i mentioned the north star so often. part of the alaska we are
without that being met, i have to again ask why in the world will our military might be used according to the u.n. and arab league desires and nato s leadership in this skirmish or this war or whatever it is that obama calls it or doesn t want to call it. greta: usually on speeches like this, there are two purposes. one substantively to explain to the american people why we are doing the military action, whatever. the other to inspire us to feel proud of what we are doing and this is the right decision. i thought tonight that he felt that he had a flat delivery. that he lost the inspiration part. so it was hard to be convinced of the substantive purpose part. well, he did not articulate what our purpose was. except some inconsistent humanitarian effort in libya. yet, the inconsistency lies with the questions now being asked, why not darfur, north
man. he can t run, because he wasn t born in this country. greta: here s my thought. first of all, i don t know about the article, whether he had to pay for the article or not. as for the birth certificate, i haven t seen mine in years. i have a passport and the president has a passport having traveled at one time, i had to surrender a birth can i. i suspect that when he got his passport he had to provide a valid birth certificate in is the most incredible this doesn t hurt the democratic party. this is how they are raising funds. using all this controversy saying please money because the republican are going after him about his birth certificate. i don t think it is. i disagree with you 100%. i is going on over the internet. i see the questions asked. people have you have to understand, terrible term the word birther. a birther is a person that wants these are great americans in many cases, in
