On the Record: Trump on Obama: "I just don't think he knows what he's doing ... I think he's weak and ineffective on almost every front, including Libya."


VAN SUSTEREN: Donald, today we learned that the president approved of drones, armed drones over Libya with Hellfire missiles. Do you agree with that strategy? 
TRUMP: Well, it's a little bit late. His whole thing is a little late. He takes so long to make decisions. And he might have been better off on making no decision or going in early because so many people have been killed in Libya. It's unbelievable. It's a carnage. So I just don't think he knows what he's doing, Greta. 
VAN SUSTEREN: But in light of the fact that we are where we are, if you were president today, and the fact that we're six weeks into this Libya event, or whatever you want to call it, this war, what would you do? 
TRUMP: Well, you know my attitude on that. And you and I have discussed it at great length. I would go in and take the oil. I would just take the oil. We don't know who the rebels are. We hear they come from Iran. We hear they're influenced by Iran or al Qaeda. And frankly, I would go in, I would take the oil and stop this baby stuff. We're a bunch of babies. We have wars and we leave. We go in, we have wars, we lose lives, we lose money and we leave. I would go in and take the oil and I'd clean up everything.
VAN SUSTEREN: What do you -- how do you describe President Obama's strategy on Libya? 
TRUMP: I think he's weak and ineffective on almost every front, including Libya.
