"It may very well be that one of the reasons he [Obama] didn't go to Congress was that he didn't know what his goals were or what the mission would be. And you can't go to Congress and ask for support if you don't have some reasonable precision as to what it is you plan to do. And we've heard varying views as to what the goal is. One person says it's to have Gadhafi eliminated and taken out of office other people say, ‘no, that's not the mission.' So there's so much confusion about it and it struck me that maybe the reason they haven't gone to Congress is that."
