Question. one sfa commander told your team the rebels would not be able to win without american intervention. is that a widely held view among the rebels? reporter: of course, it is. the opposition in libya wouldn t have won without a ntao intervention. revolutions are great and people came and they work well to upset things, but when you have a determined dictator, using his entire organized army, they generally don t win. the uprising against saddam hussein didn t work. the uprising against gadhafi didn t work. the uprising against assad hasn t been working the past 2 1/2 years. they don t think without some sort of game-changing military intervention, they won t seed. richard engel in turkey, thank you very much. david gregory s guest will be secretary of state john kerry this morning on meet the ....
I happen to agree with mccain particularly in this. when the president criticizes the idea of using military force, unilaterally, what he is saying is i m not going to lead. he is not leading. what mccain is proposing is somebody to produce where the protected by the american or nato airplanes where the syrians can t go. the rebels don t have an organized army. you could do one and only so much in turkey. in a part of syria, you could build an army, organize it. civilians could go there. a lot of the slaughtering that is done by the assad regime would stop. but it would take an american president to act unilaterally or other people. u.n. is not going to back it. arab league is probably not going to back it. i would save thousands of lives. bret: next topic, james rosen did a piece looking back four years ago to the democratic primary between senator obama and senator ....

Was, that failed and where that radiation went we don t know either. it s going into the atmosphere and the wind is blowing most of it out to sea. we can only hope that that lasts a long time. but the weather patterns change and i don t see it lasting more than three more days before the wind starts to blow it back on japan. you and i aren t finished talking about this. we ll get to soledad o brien in a moment. i ve learned that nic robertson has just called in, on the phone for me. nic, i believe you re in eastern libya. and story is really escalating today as you have these gadhafi forces moving eastward toward the rebel stronghold of benghazi. were you in ajdabiya today? tell me what you saw. reporter: brooke, we ve seen the biggest sort of demonstration, if you will, or the biggest amount of moammar gadhafi s military might here. we ve seen his army spread out on the outskirts of ajdabiya, getting ready to advance into ....
