-- this is a Fox News alert -- in just 36 hours former CIA director David Petraeus will testify before the House Intelligence Committee about Ben Ghazi.
He may be the one who knows the most about what happened on September 11.
Just two weeks -- General Petraeus went to Libya to conduct his own investigation.
So now congress to finally get the chance to question General Petraeus about what he knows but won't bring us closer to answering that question.
In competence or cover up or something else.
This president.
This administration and speed of been guilty of colossal incompetence pork.
Engage in a cover up neither of which are acceptable to the American people.
Problem is there's certainly about two hours she has done exemplary.
As I've said before.
She made an appearance.
At the request.
The White House.
In which she.
Gave her best.
Understanding.
Of the intelligence that had been provided to vote for Senator McCain.
And senator Graham and others want to go after somebody they should go after me.
Why did you pick her to tell us about things got.
What does she have to do with the guys did anybody ask her for additional security -- the United Nations and fast.
Don't end up on every single major Sunday show without affirmatively put yourself out there.
-- wanted to carry forward a message on behalf of the administration I don't think we're doing very well on the union quite frankly you know it is pretty good job will do business in China -- Walking all over us.
My sister she's the strongest that if it -- usual political operative and here.
Anything else when something doesn't.
One of the questions -- -- Really -- -- different parts of -- What about what happened -- the facts about what happened.
-- -- final.
And -- this year with everybody else.
Obviously it's very traveling bed at best their rights and rendition of events turned dad should be.
Seeing her friends and we need to get to the bottom of that you want to get to the bottom of bad guys see you gotta go gotta Obama because Obama is the bottom of the Gaza.
Obama is the bottom of a couple of women -- that's why I said that this -- Watergate this is hate -- That dwarfs the Watergate cover up their four people dead in the.
And just did Tampa socialized Jill Kelly at the center of the scandal just had her special friends of -- ID revoke.
Now the ID gave -- easy access to part of the military base but that's not all.
Paula -- well in lieutenant colonel and army reserves but today she got her security clearance suspended.
And there's more breaking news tonight we now know the identity of the FBI agent who helped launch the investigation into the scandal.
Fox News confirming he is Frederick Humphries the second a veteran counterterrorism investigator.
Former senior advisor to President Reagan Pat Buchanan joins us pat them first -- we just turn the sound bite from Rush Limbaugh -- Commented this is for people are murdered he says this is.
Different or worse than water -- -- as a basic issue yes yes Watergate was about to punch you guys are going over the Watergate offices.
-- the phone of Larry O'Brien.
Criminal activity yes.
But a very petty thing compared to a terrorist attack that killed an American ambassador to Navy SEALs and a diplomat and then does it.
People who were begging for security and begging for help out there for months.
Well and I think the important point to make is that.
People just want.
Facts.
They want information and that's what's been so profoundly.
Difficult to get there aren't even any the end -- it.
Speaking we -- any accusation because they're going to get the facts.
Well let's take a look what Christensen -- Susan right he said basically we send her there she went on five television shows and she told a patently.
False story.
The president said she based it on the best intelligent she had the time.
Was that also the best intelligence the White House had the time.
The reason that -- issue is because there was no protest.
How can you have intelligence.
About a protest over a video that.
Never happened.
President of the United States is now saying that -- down under the NFC.
And me sitting there in the Oval Office our best intelligence five days later.
Was that this was a result of life flash mob.
They protest over a video.
How could they say that when this year and I guess we're in a battle on and off for seven hours.
That very night the next morning they all pulled out it made it out.
General Petraeus who's ahead of -- today.
Had to know.
The next day exactly what went on there were checkpoints before these guys attack all the rest of -- no protests and yet game after game after day.
The administration is how -- putting out this party line through -- True Petraeus himself through the president through -- -- it all came out of a protest.
Something we couldn't have predicted we couldn't have known about advanced a protest over a video of protests that never happened.
You know I if it is ambassador rice -- insulted by the president's comments news well I'm -- -- be -- she gave.
You know she gave her best understanding of the intelligence had been provided to hurt it in another -- -- she's a robot that she didn't ask her own question demeanor -- -- so bizarre any.
Any person after the first 24 hours -- would even sooner would have said what in the world is going on instead she took spoon fed information didn't think for yourself to direction from the White House seems like the White House a robot the way he portrays an Ottoman sultan.
Well she wants to be secretary of state that you got a very good point.
The best in the intelligence provided to her.
Please humor but I think nobody did that pretty happy when you say well if someone says such -- such a colonel the first thing I -- is how do you know.
That's the first thing I said you know we know what I eighty what I -- save this -- -- -- how you.
That's exactly -- somebody came and -- she should have I'm gonna go on all five shows.
Give me the best intelligence -- got what happened in what do you want -- what do you want me to emphasize that we can say give from the -- development in the White House senior staff.
Somebody told -- here's what you say.
That it was a protest how to video was not premeditated not to be pre planned help somebody knew otherwise he's sure why and how are.
I don't think she's been -- Which should -- be used either she's a yes man she takes whatever I -- fed tour.
Or she's a robot they wander up and says see this next fight that's insulting I think -- -- -- -- -- and I would I would hope that she said how do you know.
And I would hope well after after this happened I would hope she would call somebody -- Why did you do this today you -- me out there to make a complete fool out of myself.
Now I'm under constant attack I used my credibility because of what you told me because you told me.
The intelligence said it was a spontaneous protest.
Who provided her with the quote intelligence.
That didn't exist.
It can even more trouble you've got to keep going back the fact that the reform Americans dead this isn't -- our classes this is not a and that's not a game apart cheesy.
This if you were trying to get them out what happened before Americans we to find out what happened -- prevent it from happening again and why in the world we -- Stupid stories.
Melamine perspective this is speculation why we get -- stupid -- we've been asking this for a couple weeks now I think this.
If it wasn't spontaneous attack flash -- these people came out and suddenly attacked the embassy and and how are they kill the ambassador burned it up.
The nobody's responsible.
Nobody is responsible in the sense that -- this wasn't pre planned it wasn't premeditated it was spontaneous like a tornado.
Hitting Joplin Missouri so none of us it can be at fault for not given on the security -- Time that op -- if you get the August 16 cable that can I parents reports on that said that well does it work that you and also you listen you've also got -- the hole blown twelve foot hole blown in the wall of the consulate.
In June you've got that you've got during the time of the attacks that these people were memo -- back to -- emailing back -- abortion.
It's a phony story below the question is why do police story and what what do you police to -- Americans -- -- That's -- that's his second -- it because I don't wanna be held accountable.
That's appalling did this and.
I can't tell if that's a reason that's so important that betray this week testifies on Friday -- -- -- let's get the -- Korea -- let's take a look at people Portland State.
They get request after request we're in real trouble over here but didn't you know the Al -- -- all over the place.
The British ambassadors go on the Red Cross is out all the western guys are gone.
We are wide open to an attack here.
You've got all that State Department and yet -- nothing to send them more security.
And boom.
These four folks are dead.
Because you didn't -- play you don't you know what can -- Dioner stepped forth to say here is where -- this where things fell apart.
And this is what we know exactly but they don't you don't tell something it's almost silly at this video and -- keep pushing you know -- -- whoever's kind of video that's exactly.
Greta that's -- that's the point why do.
Did they use this particular cover story which suggests.
They had no responsibility whatsoever for what happen.
Well hopefully that there will be committee action that the general -- I ought to get lot of miscues as you said look forward for brave guys are dead.
And it's possible it could that have prevented it's possible it could have been stopped.
We ought to know that and we ought not to be -- would -- be -- richer people.
They can understand situations like that happen with the coal and these other things and we can get to the bottom of it.
I also think that you know I think it speaks poorly of the government if the government I need something.
You know it's time we -- peel back to find out what did happen I mean that's sort of the decent thing to do right I think -- senator Graham -- right reduced to this thing walked through from day one all these reports request for aid and cries for help ambassador saying I'm a target all the way through what happened in those seven however are.
Why didn't have a couple of jets come over 300 feet.
From -- and LA and an hour.
Seattle -- I didn't actually understand that a little bit better animated the last -- on this is that it's hard to make the tough decisions -- happy.
Which when you mode that takes time to think to do cover ups and not tell the truth that takes time to think and that's worsening.
-- I think that's where -- I -- --
