In a taped interview with Good Morning America, former president Bill Clinton said he would be “inclined” to arm the Libyan rebels and suggested President Obama shouldn’t “shut the door” on that possibility.

“I might need to know a little more, I would be inclined to do it,” he said in a taped interview that aired Monday morning on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“I sure wouldn’t shut the door to it,” he said.

Clinton also argued that the ambiguity of the U.S. position in Libya is a “good thing.”

“I think we’re trying to build a world in which people resolve their differences in non-violent ways,” he said. “And we’re trying to build a world where no ruler can cavalierly kill its unarmed civilians.”
In the case of Libya, that means getting involved without becoming entangled.
“I think that for the United States to be on the side of this freedom movement without implying that we have either interest or the capacity to send armed forces on the ground and to do everything is a good thing,” he said.
