Missiles fired overnight at critical defense systems in libya. and president obama s decision to take military action seemed to come only after secretary of state hillary clinton decided it was the the right step. not everybody in the administration was all on board. and at this time chris wallace joins us right now from our nation s capital. hi, guys. steve: what do you think? i think that s with all due respect simplifying it a little bit. i think there were a variety of actions. first of all, the arab league last weekend decided they were going to call for a u.n. action. i think that was enormously important that this president did not want to be seen in engaging in another western war against arab nations. the arab league support made a big difference. i think also they were surprised how fast gaddafi was moving and the brutality he was showing in taking on the rebels and yes, there was a split within the administration. in fact, the pentagon and ....

Secretary gates on one side. you have susan rice, the u.n. ambassador and hillary clinton on the other and there was a split, but i think the president decided that, one, with the arab league action, international action and also with what looked like it was going to be a humanitarian blood bath, he didn t want to stay on the sidelines. ali: chris, does it show how persuasive hillary clinton and she came around and susan rice, the arab league weighed in, did she convince president obama? again, i don t know that i would put it that simply. it s certainly the case that after she was in paris and she met with the libyan representatives there, the representative of the rebel forces, she changed her mind on the idea that she was against it as well and weighed in, but i don t think it was simply she said, she had to weigh in and the president said yes, sir. i think there were a lot of changing events that persuaded here and the president. ....
