the goal is to get gadhafi out. get a provisional government by the rebels. all the actions are leading to that. here's where the french. here's where the nato forces, the brits, gutter, some of the arab countries like the united arab em rats they are participa participating. they have to take the lead. i think that's developing as the rebels begin military momentum. >> has anyone asked you to talk to gadhafi and say it's over. >> no, no. just you have. i would be pleased to be helpful. but this is a presidential decision. i believe the state department secretary clinton is doing a very good job of handling this issue.
