In a letter to President Obama he writes.
You can be sure every single member of our united states military service now knows that the sacred bond of never leaving a comrade in distress.
Or danger may be worthless as of the date of this disgraced.
Senator Roberts is also the former chair the senate select committee on intelligence he joins but he -- have.
Good evening Greta thank you -- outcome of this lives -- many of us and stunningly I don't.
I don't understand -- with two different stories we should have one story get it out and -- -- done with it and we're not getting that the administration you come from it as a marine.
And you since you've spoken to military members well.
We were having town hall meetings in -- and usually Candace about this time we're there wondering.
Like everybody else so what's gonna happen with -- what's gonna happen whether fiscal -- all the regulations -- having -- the farm bill.
My gosh we have a drought for two years not this time.
56.
Town hall meetings every meeting.
American legion members -- -- John McCain said VFW members people who have been deployed people who are deployed.
People in the reserves one young man comes up to me says I was deployed -- times he had the same kind of mission he says I'm glad I'm out.
I knew I was gonna be in harm's way that's why you know that's why I signed up but today I don't think -- have my back.
-- that's true.
And that starts to fester.
I would hate to see any president bear that burden whether it be Romney or Obama can have that.
Continue with anybody in harm's way whether -- -- -- intelligence community State Department -- are men and women in uniform.
If it's hard to tell us what if anything big didn't do it might not be -- -- there.
With the promise -- we can't seem to get and the president hasn't sat down and and explain what happened where they would say it's hard even deserve whether any efforts were made -- whether they're reasonable to try to work.
Or anything and so -- sit mystery.
And so we probe for answers we can't get them.
Well thank goodness your program if it wasn't for you and Katherine.
And Jennifer Jennifer -- The three musketeers or whatever you wanna say you are that you're shunning -- -- -- -- truce -- darkness.
And this is -- darkness that is amazing to me in regards to national news media I'm a former newspaperman where on earth are the journalists.

A professional journalists what is going on we have -- Riley and Laura.
-- room just before you or before before you.
Saying well let's just knock on him you know really have any bearing on the election.
Why not everybody -- waiting around for -- just say something do your job do the investigative reporting this is a big big story.
We have so many different.
When we had our first meeting what it must have been 67 days afterwards.
And the secretary of state came and said well I'm calling for an investigation that's required by law that took Jim -- -- 45 minutes to say I don't know.
The DOD -- said -- the FBI guy said we ask have you been doing Ghazi.
And he said no I'm up in Tripoli -- should -- -- does -- well it's not safe.
Well no -- and we've had more and more.
Questions than answers the president really ought to take about two hours and that was a whole tone -- my letter and I tried to make it respectful and say you don't want to just.
President Romney if he makes it doesn't want to as you do not want to lose the morale.
Of our service people -- people put in harm's way that's not right.
And I I don't I don't like this response after 9/11.
We set up the counterterrorism threat center.
We set up all of these teams around the world and we -- the Senate Intelligence Committee and the 9/11 people stand here we are again.
First to USS Cole that wasn't even first it was a bombings in Africa that was an even first it was Mogadishu.
And Somalia and are Somalia.
And black hawk down and now -- -- this and we still haven't got a straight what on earth is going on thank goodness that you're really searching for the truth.
It's particular -- -- a Tunisian man was picked up who was caught on tape -- -- the day of the attack and he got caught in Turkey was false papers and turned over to Tunisia.

Because the United States government the Obama administration is not until they either got pushed or whatever -- here's here's an eyewitness and -- always spoken to a -- well Lindsey Graham not trying to get it done.
I think -- the only eyewitness except for your team yeah -- are interviewing people on the ground that may be able to locate some other people.
But the secretary of state.
Can the president himself should be on the phone.
To folks in Tunisia and -- us and say we you know we have to have access to this guy.
