-- Welcome to Huckabee from the fox studios in New York City.

Just days after the uprising at the Egyptian embassy and the terrorist attack and -- Ghazi.

In which four Americans including an ambassador were murdered.

I looked you in the eye and said.

Your government lied to you the reaction from the left was swift and brutal.

Accusing me of playing loose with the facts and of politicizing tragedy.

-- I said Dan and I continue to say our government has lied to -- and has engaged in a systematic and deliberate cover up.

While I do have friends in the intelligence community and military it wasn't those relationships that gave that talk to me.

That just confirmed what was obvious to everyone.

While everyone except the Obama administration.

Which continued to embarrass itself.

By trotting -- people to make the ridiculous assertion.

That these attacks were some spontaneous reaction to a poorly made thirteen minute video.

About Mohamed.

This past week congressional hearings with -- is under oath a stab wished there was no mob and then -- It was a carefully planned and executed terrorist attack.

And our personnel and Libya had repeatedly begged for more security -- had reported more than 230.

Specific security issues.

The ambassador himself requested more security.

Those pleas were ignored.

We have a clear picture of what happened but we still don't know why.

Was there such a dogged determination.

To prove that al-Qaeda and the Taliban was no longer a threat.

That we would even risk the security of our own people with fingers crossed hoping that nothing would happen.

Well one person who clearly understands the ongoing threat is Laura Logan.

The courageous veteran CBS reporter who was savagely attacked by a mob of Egyptian -- during the so called Arab Spring uprising.

Speaking this past week in Chicago.

She had this to -- I knew that we were being and I tip.

I knew that the American people are being misled.

And that's when it comes as issues that I care about like issues of national security.

I don't think that politics.

Should dictate national security policy.

And a I don't know -- journalist that likes being night.

She said the idea that the new crop are moderate kinder gentler.

That kind of Taliban -- -- this nonsense push by Taliban apologist.

She also warned that our leaders are being arrogant and not listening to what our enemies say but and make it up their own script.

She said she hopes America will exact revenge for the deaths of our people in the Libyan consulate and let the world know.

And we will not be attacked on our own soil because that's the only message that our enemies understand.

Lara Logan's comments are not partisan they're not political.

-- they're based on a professional observation and her personal experience.

The reason that this is a vital importance is because.

If our government.

Well why -- us about Ben Ghazi.

They'll -- it was about anything and everything.

If the political consequences to this administration are more important than the personal consequences to you and your family.

Then we have to believe that this election.

Is not just a choice between Democrats and Republicans.

It's a choice between in America it's owned by the people and served by the politicians.

-- one that is owned by the government.

Who desire to be served by the people.

That crucial.
