-- al-Qaeda terror attacks and -- and we have been on Libya every single day covering the story.
It seems though that bit.
A lot of media out there don't seem to be focusing on this horrible situation that's happening.
And could potentially turn into.
A bigger widespread issue in the Middle East which has a huge impact on the president whomever is elected in the next.
Four years -- him in the journal has a big.
-- today's discussions before -- -- a long complicated article about what happened with the with the with the ambassador -- and so on and it is telling that the journals written -- and I and other means you're meeting Anderson in ten minutes every night that broadcast news start talking about.
Around the videotape.
If one were to take a look through this article say -- here to -- questions for the secretary of state.
For the head of Homeland Security for the other than the consulate security service within this State Department.
One would have all sorts of -- questions meanwhile.
The -- our administration's -- got a -- let's smearing Libya.
This calling him on the -- -- -- -- -- of al-Qaeda -- and obviously al-Qaeda sympathizers -- let me have that when you see.
The president of Libya appearing at a very nice ceremony for the for the late ambassador you know is clearly stating -- saying -- I'm pro American we're really sorry this happened.
To see the environment showed some mob that was an amount it was a terrorist attack not not like 9/11 because those aren't 9/11.
End it instead of the movie over the Bush Administration went through what did bush know and how they prepare for -- -- canyons haven't -- this is just being treated as what they waited a week.
Played -- them properly and then now they admit okay fine.
It was he was killed by a rocket attack and amazingly enough you Obama administration -- State Department.
Wasn't prepared for terrorist attack on 9/11 that would be the kind of story of somebody wanted to jump on it what could also -- -- just jump on.
Charles Emerson the terrific piece in the Washington Post today that collapse of the paradigm and went back to.
President Obama's speech.
Three years ago in Cairo is -- what we're gonna -- after the battle but they've sort of change everything well.
Things seemed not to change that could also be a matter of considerable.
Pondering and and funding in the in the press -- -- get with a few seconds I just kind of got finally a success again another third period.
US allies fired an -- -- Okay what does it take me Karzai's firing and we have there's more pro American to win the government somewhere in Afghanistan took our cars I get through them as he's.
Planning to do whatever he's planning to do.
Do you think this the -- the overall clients are Afghan policy might also be kind of news but it's not if these qualities -- on page 34 stories.
-- as we know the big news of the day and -- here is to twenty minutes.
Romney's video to -- Happening in Afghanistan is extremely scary as well and -- that.
Obama wanted to pull out troops out of there it's if there are American troops that are dying that are trying to train Afghan troops in the story just this past week I was reading an -- in an article.
-- -- son who was killed by the actual Afghan that he was training so I mean where were we we have troops over there we're training them.
To take control and and they're being killed in the process al-Qaeda is involved in in something very very big very alarming and something that we need to.
Be very worried about.
Foreign policy was something that a lot of people question President Obama when he was entering office.
And his experience and not.
He killed Osama bin Laden so therefore he got.
Major kudos on not and but going forward in the next four years what are his plans that you believe -- Make him more experienced than Mitt Romney when it comes to dealing with these alarming issues.
Al-Qaeda I've I don't know what they are married don't.
-- -- -- -- -- -- heard him talk about it well to me like the day after -- LeBron Afghanistan near the Taliban to take over again maybe in the form Hamid Karzai -- -- discovered to be ally of theirs all along.
Who knows.
Again perhaps to who none of us have all the answers this -- -- my -- is the media aren't even asking these questions and they're just simply.
Saying look look let's not worry about the collapse of US -- bipartisan the collapse of both the bush and Obama administration that dreams of the greater good Democrat -- is all going on -- now.
I think that -- a picture.
All right how -- -- -- final words so you can pipe in -- and I guess subject it -- is it.
His visit his segment I want allies allow you to comment on anything he -- Got to get into the phone I got -- update that.
And what I think I don't think that the media is as bias.
As Jim does because they spend weeks covering Reverend Wright.
And it was all kinds of terrible things going on the world what they were covering Reverend Wright.
Anthony Weiner and Anthony -- -- -- was covered for weeks and weeks and weeks and there are other much more important things going on the world when those things were happening to so I think that the media ultimately like scandal controversy insects.
You're right I'm not here.
We do let's talk about a three.
By the way got to tune into FOX News Watch every Saturday.
In fact it's an hour long now it went from thirty minutes to one hour.
-- to cover the absolutely they do have a lot of news coverage of the number one rated news critique of that program and James -- been a member of that firm.
How long -- international Virginians for just fourteen years but we'll leave that behind the success so -- make sure that he didn't get players out there yeah.
Says yeah yeah now you are big player are a little bit VIP.
Yeah I'm calling you a big -- happened didn't think.
