Jon Huntsman in 2011 GOP primary debate in Manchester NH

On War & Peace: We can't afford the NATO operation in Libya

Q: Should the president have supported the NATO operation in Libya? Is that in the vital national interest of the US? I had a conversation with a soon-to-be candidate who is not here tonight, Governor Huntsman, recently, who said he didn't think when it came to vital national interest. And he also said we can't afford it right now. Should the price tag be a factor when you're the commander in chief?

GINGRICH: Sure. The price tag is always a factor, because that's part of the decision.
