But forget even the point that, okay, maybe their argument is they thought he was going to go genocidal and they didn't realize it would be so much worse without him. But I said, okay, Douglas, so riddle me this then. If it was a humanitarian intervention... How come I have four-star General Wesley Clark telling me 10 years prior that we had already made the plans to go overthrow Qaddafi?
