Good idea of how the cancer feeling right now Senator John McCain joins as good evening sir and I'm curious.
And this -- late date as we approach Election Day is there much either candidate.
Can do to woo votes.
Well I think that.
This Libya fiasco and tragedy.
-- is turning some veterans votes and some active duty military.
I'm hearing from veterans all over America they are.
Angered and discuss stated.
Arm active duty military people believe they can't trust the president United States I'm hearing from everywhere.
And so it may have an impact for example in the state of Florida there one point six million veterans and their families and -- They can have an impact and they can in Ohio as well -- this these latest scandals set.
As you know war the latest one of the latest is that there was some gathering in the consulate in -- guys see.
This security people they reviewed the fact that al-Qaeda was in the area in big time that.
They were having greater and greater danger and they sent that to the State Department obviously nothing happened there.
We now have the information that the counter terrorism security group that's a group dispersed to convene.
When there's an act of terror.
To coordinate the efforts of all the different agencies of government you know that they were never convened.
They were never convened in this act of terror that took the lives of four.
Brave Americans so it's getting out there Greta and it's -- and it's and it's angering our veterans and it's -- -- Our active duty people and I think it can have an impact because you've still got five more days and this -- a classic scandal.
Where almost every day or every few days another shoe drops.
Well you mentioned never issued app that is to the two new things that thought I might mention -- -- Foreign Policy Magazine has a new article lot and it's it's quite a long article.
But there's some things that are absolutely stunning.
That this happened this attack happened on 9/11 and the FBI at some point was sent in to investigate.
And then and that October 266.
Weeks later Foreign Policy Magazine went to the constant went to the CIA -- They found a draft of two letters.
And letters that they have no idea if they weren't ever ever sensitive place -- -- -- lives of the FBI never picked up when they were there.
And the two draft letters won -- some talk about the fact that that day they saw some member of the Bolivian police force.
-- cross -- street in an upstairs taking pictures inside the compound and that they were worried and that they were concerned why that evidence wasn't seized by the FBI I don't know.
Another thing that happened just -- listened to mention new analyst.
They -- -- Ignatius of the Washington Post met with the CIA the CIA gave them a timeline.
As to what happened and this is what's new in the timeline for me number one as.
It's it appears that the two the last two were killed.
Weren't killed and till about 5:30 in the morning which gives another hour.
For the United States to take any military action action if that were necessary -- another lobby for those who died.
But secondly let me read this to senator in this is David Ignatius timeline it says it for 38 am.
That they first idea of some of the -- CIA reinforcements was to go to Ben Ghazi hospital.
To recover Stephens who based rightly suspect is -- -- But the hospital is surrounded by the al-Qaeda linked ans are Al Sharia militia that -- that counselor attack.
4:30 AM is one that haven't so why in the world for two weeks that we hear about the video story so there's a lot of explain to be done here.
Well as I say -- it's the classic.
Scandal and cover up that's gone on now one of our veterans said to me.
I said I think it can be as bad as Watergate -- one of our veterans said yeah but nobody died in Watergate and they.
There and they've got a point.
-- Leon Panetta saying well.
We didn't send in people because we weren't sure -- it couldn't be clearer as to what was going on.
You know the great thing about America and the great thing about heroes and I've known they're willing to charge him.
When they know that their fellow americans' lives are in danger.
Put these people.
Are covering up so much and -- -- -- such we're.
It ridiculous fashion and of course as we know the mainstream media has refused to really cover any of this which is.
Also pretty remarkable but it -- That there was -- meeting.
That did it with the warning selector security there were two attacks is you know 1 June and it and July and that and excuse me April and June.
On the -- guys -- console there was C assassination attempt of the British ambassador always things.
That we should have had -- in place.
And we should have especially on September 11 we should have been ready to react we should have.
Known that these stretch where there and then of course to top it all off as we -- know the president going out for days and days afterwards and calling national.
-- -- a result of a spontaneous demonstration.
Sparked by -- hateful video was just an absolute falsehood -- and if they keep saying.
That intelligence sources said that then intelligence people ought to be.
Fired and what in the world are we gonna believe about Iran if intelligence sources believe that this was a spontaneous demonstration.
President Obama's not speaking about this is not answering questions he's not having a press conference on it and so yeah we're gonna continue pursuant to -- figure out what the answers -- but I'm curious.
Do you think governor Romney on the campaign trail should be raising this issue or not.
Well I'd like for him to but I fear not I'm not I'm very reluctant and -- particularly since I'm a loser.
To give advice to a campaign but I can tell you whether Mitt Romney is raising these questions or not.
I'm telling -- the reaction that I'm getting from veterans -- -- and the North Dakota today.
And I'm telling you know I'm getting any reaction the likes of which I've seldom seen from our.
-- tired our veterans are active duty people our Guardsmen.
They know what's going on they know a cover up is going on and I can tell you they do not trust.
The president United States and by the way could I just mention also.
That the -- this this interfered with the presence narrative that he got an alignment and you know so therefore al-Qaeda is on the run.
You know we saw the pictures right away they.
The president and his team watching in real time.
What happened to it when they took captain line which we all praised.
-- the pictures of them sitting around and watching this attack that went -- for eight hours where the pictures of them.
Deliberating as to what course of action should be taken we just saw pictures of them.
When they were gathered about the latest hurricane -- pictures when the raid was going on for eight hours of fighting going on.
As far as I recollect he went to bed and then he went the last Vegas.
And finally -- -- say this is symptomatic of our Fowler foreign policy failures throughout the Middle East al-Qaeda is on the way back in Iraq there -- Al-Qaeda training camps now in western Iraq they're over -- all over -- they're pouring into Syria because we have failed to act in any way helpful.
And threw -- 32000.
Syrians have been massacred.
And in Afghanistan as we know that.
Attacks continue in places in Afghanistan have been peaceful for years are now falling under the control of the -- fun.
This is -- president with a failed foreign policy and that is because he doesn't know what leadership is about.
You mentioned fact that others in the media have been spotted my colleagues Jennifer Griffin Catherine -- -- -- -- all the heavy lift you for us here Fox News Channel but there is a change released today Jake Tapper ABC -- a story.
And does show Atkinson as CBS as well CBS news also -- so.
Other -- news networks.
And organizations are starting to dig into this so we might see a change and that senator.
Well I hope so and and again this thank animation again.
How can -- explain that a counterterrorism.
Security group which was a specially designed.
To convene and coordinate actions of government in case for terrorists attacked.
They told them to stand down and how do we know that because people were part of that organization are mad as hell.
Because they weren't convened and they didn't act wild American lives were in danger.
But this story persists it's because we're not getting answers and the people who have the answers could and that and that they you know the administration has it then I'd be glad to have the answer to put the story to rest a weakened.
I'll move on -- senator thank you sir.
