Rally former assistant secretary of state Republican fears also served as special assistant to President Clinton for national security fears did you get to see you I -- what what do you make of this.
I think there are lots -- questions open Mike Rogers has a good point and Libya has now arrested perhaps.
Fifty that might have been involved in the so we should be able to get these answers as we go forward.
And we were reporting here on Thursday that this had it.
The hallmarks a bit of a terrorist attack the way that it went down that the fact that the ambassador and three others were killed there and that we didn't really know much about.

It's it's another thing if they have the inside intelligence within that base and maybe others to help them carry out such attacks they say they use Google Maps which makes cents.
I think that's.
That's it part of their capability and I I think there.
You know they're going to have battlefield successes.
At various times I think we're still the most effective team on the playing field where we can expect to to shut -- PJ Crowley live from Capitol Hill this afternoon -- thanks very much education effort all right more ahead on the anti west.
