elizabeth wenger is at sfo where the president arrives on air force one in a few hours. she joins us now live. good morning. >> reporter: that's right. good morning, frank. good morning, sydnie. that's right. he's scheduled to arrive around 1:00. this is the second visit to the bay area if you are counting in the last three months. you know, the last time he was here, he held a very exclusive dinner with those silicon valley billionaires down in woodside. well, this time he is doing some of that, too, we understand but he is also doing things a little differently. he's taking his message out to the public. i know we have some video of facebook. that's right, he is going to facebook this time. he is going to be holding a town hall style meeting all broadcast live over the internet over facebook from their palo alto headquarters. mark zuckerberg will be the moderator of the public webcast and the questions are preselected from facebook users and we just checked this morning and so far 31,000 people, more than 31,000, have already rsvp'ed. so the president will talk about t

the us military is developing what the air force in particular has called global strike that is basically currently we have nuclear missiles that could strike anywhere on earth within thirty minutes. what the military is talking about is a similar conventional capability that could be used to knock out say a chinese anti-satellite weapons launcher in a matter of minutes. a number of concepts are being studied with this notion of prompt strike. in two thousand and eight fifty million dollars was allocated to project a supersonic plane capable of reaching any point on the globe in only a few minutes and drop up to six times the bombs. orbiting space satellite that would actually have missiles on it that could be fired from space and reach a target in literally five to ten minutes as opposed to the current thirty minutes . military doctrine also for seize deploying batteries of missiles that orbit the planet striking at over seven thousand miles an hour these projectiles with capable of wiping out simultaneously to one hundred targets on the ground with a destructive power of a nuclear devic

blue air force, green army. you can see how we're controlled. as i said in groups in phase zero and one, there's targets. that's not bread and butter for us, but all the rest of it belongs to someone else. we're using these as a joint asset, and it's easier to be joint if i'm net centric and got the communications, if everybody knows what i can do and pump out what i do to everyone else. the army keeps theirs within the battalion level. not good or bat again, just different. you can see the next slide over that we do different things. for example, this is how many weapons we've dropped as of 12th january -- sorry. we're doing more kinetic effects. the army supports the battalion and lets them do the effects. we are split evenly between the small and large uas's in the air force where the army is mostly small with small sliver of the medium aircraft. again, not good or bad, just different, and the customer that you're serving. the mediums you can see the air force has the large share of the medium aircraft in the inventory, and that's the reason

by the opposition forces are sometimes a proxy a force and not an air force that is meant to be used to save civilian lives so what we're really seeing here is the result of a mission that is ambiguous in its scope and objectives. paullus there reporting from again capital to the bases there. that are in the left wing british and german says who is pursuing questionable goals in libya conflicts may yet end up splitting the oil producing country. what we've become involved in is a civil war in libya and they all went disastrously wrong when they bombed an opposition military point i think it's very damaging but it underlines the lack of any clear purpose in this mission and the lack of any engagement we're involved in the civil war largely because of the vast amounts of oil that exist in eastern libya and i think the result will probably be a very easy partition of libya with a stalemate which will lead to constant conflict and cause not versed in the future there has to be some political solution to this otherwise the carnage will continue the losses we're going to show you and weste

of force and destroying and killing people from the air is the last measure it indicates the failure of politics what i thinks is sort of ask you to use the force you say there are a variety of means to step in and help the libyan government has actually called for russia to support it but there again is not very difficult for a country not to take sides when it gets involved i mean do you think russia could help in some way. certainly i think russia china india and turkey countries who have to play at least the ethical role they have to be to play the constraint at all and i think russia has already said that what nato and what the western powers italy and france are doing and indeed britain goes way beyond the nine hundred seventy five un resolution that does not authorize countries to use force it is couched in such words that you can interpret it the way you want and this is this is again a continuation of the idea that you use the international machinery to achieve your national objectives under the pretext that you are actually trying to protect human rights but in fact the lib

it is a protective zone allowing us to use our air assets to interdict a situation in which civilians are coming under attack. in terms of whether or not we would part through civilians versus rebels versus opposition leader versus gadhafi forces, we have to rely on our intelligence, particularly or intelligence to have a sense of what's occurring on the ground, and then make condition-based decisions at that time. >> it is difficult though, admiral. >> it is difficult. >> as you present the various senator collins scenarios. as you move into densely populated areas -- >> indeed. >> how do aircraft prevent civilian casualties and other damages -- >> i think it will be extremely challenging. we are aided by a sense that i think is manifest in much of the country which is against gadhafi, and i think that as more and more pressure is applied, as we continue to apply both economic sanctions, financial freezing, we squeeze the economy, i believe that his support base will shrink and the tribal aspects will come together in away to achieve the policy indication in the departure of gadhafi.

qaddafi uses chemical weapons or the air force against his people demonstrating peacefully. >> warner: celebrations rang out in bengazi march 18 after the security council authorized all necessary measures to protect civilians from qaddafi's forces. but the next day, even before the paris summit on finalizing the mission had ended, france launched its initial strikes-- again surprising the u.s. and other nato allies. the mission has been popular in france so far, even though sarkozy's own approval ratings are at an all-time low, just a year before he faces re- election. yet now that the u.s. has handed off the main military role in nato's libya mission, leaving france and britain in the forefront, the libyan rebels are complaining that they're no longer getting robust enough air support. what explains france's military assertiveness on multiple fronts? for that we turn to frederic bozo, a professor of history and international relations at the sorbonne in paris. he's currently a visiting scholar at the woodrow wilson center here in washington and jim hoagland, a contributing editor an

his own air force to attack his own people. i would note among these coalition aircraft are more than a dozen from qatar and the united arab emirates. fighter pie lats from qatar have flown more than 30 sorties in support of the no-fly zone mission. indeed in just the last 24 hours u.s., nato and coalition aircraft flew some 204 sorties, 110 of which were strike related. hitting fixed and mobile targets in tripoli, misrata, with such freedom of movement because we moved quickly in the early hours of the operation to render an effective regime air defense and command and control. the first struck late saturday night, the 19th, tripoli time. the no-fly zone was essentially in place. we have tipped to strike where and when needed and it's my expectation that under anywnato leadership that level of effort and focus will not diminish. what will diminish are operations as we turn our attention to providing unique enabling capabilities. i've been involved with operations for much of the last decade. from the balkans to iraq and afghan

well on the paul that we saw coalition forces mistakenly launch an air strike on rebel positions tell us what is the local reaction being to where it. well there has been a sense of disillusionment amongst the opposition forces here in libya for quite some days now towards nato they've been complaining that they haven't actually carried through with. only destroyed maybe twenty five thirty cities after his machinery and they're calling for an increase in why are you in nato airstrikes one in fact the opposite is happening we witnessed a decline in the number of is fried chicken place but now with the latest strike that has gone horribly wrong the second major is strike in two weeks to misstate rebel fighters forbid afy forces as late as it is try killing some five little fighters and wounded some twenty two this has changed the route from disillusionment and we're hearing more and more anger being expressed by family opposition forces here towards those coalition forces. the nato secretary general has said that he strongly were great as the incident they had actually been an apology f

thanks for joining us. i'm betty nguyen. the faa insists first lady michelle obama was never in any real danger when her plane had to abort a landing at andrews air force base monday, but the incident which also involved a military transport jet focused more attention on air traffic controllers who have taken a lot of criticism lately. susan mcginnis joins us live from washington. good morning, susan. how did this happen. >> good morning, betty. this is apparently not an uncommon event. it was not a near miss or even a close call, but when the first lady is on board, it's going to get a lot of attention and it is yet another embarrassment for the faa. the first lady and jill biden, wife of the vice president were returning to washington on monday, after a joint appearance in new york. air traffic tapes showed their plane, a military version of the boeing 737 got too close to a larger cargo plane flying just ahead as both aircraft prepared to land at andrews air force base. >> executive one foxtrot, contact approach 119.3. >>
