Did Libya Intervention Fule Extremists in Mali



Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now in Israel after visiting Egypt where she was greeted by shoe throwing protesters chanting Monica, and turned away by the coptic Christian community, because they felt her support of Mohammed Morsi means she's Islamist. Then, a new op-ed in the Boston Globe takes a look at how intervention in Libya has inadvertently created a terrorist haven in Mali. So what should we learn, again from intervention, as the Red Cross declares Syria to be in a state of Civil War, and calls for action continue? And lastly we'll show you how the cable networks are still fear mongering on Iran.
