Let's bring in senator Saxby Chambliss from George's -- vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee joins us from Washington.

I said Larry if you would Chris Wallace couple hours ago and I I watch a briefing I know there's a lot of stuff you can't talk about because it was close and all -- But I'm I'm -- I'm a simple man you know that -- walk through with you.

On September 14.

CIA chief David Petraeus made a statement that indicated it was a spontaneous demonstration.

Caused by a crazy videotape.

And that was echoed by the UN ambassador Susan -- are right that that's what happened.

Yet cables from the CIA.

Out of Tripoli Libya -- the day after.

It was a terror attack and organized terror attack with a heavy weaponry.

So you got your own CIA chief.

Contradicting.

His guy -- in Libya.

-- am -- accurate so far.

Well you're right.

Director Petraeus did say a couple of days later that based on the information they hinted that they felt that this was.

Need an act of violence that arose out of -- -- you know it doesn't fly solo that is what -- -- but that's impossible.

Because the cables that Fox News read save the CIA guys on the ground in Libya -- hold.

Petraeus and the brass and Langley that it was a terror attack so either Petraeus is lying -- can't read.

Here's what we know bill you don't have a spontaneous.

Attack.

Blow from folks -- AK forty sevens and other automatic weapons.

You don't have folks with RP -- and -- borders on the spontaneous.

Attack.

This was a clearly a terrorist attack OK let everybody know -- -- his -- in Iraq is that I'm starting.

Rob and everybody knows that OK you know what I know what the folks watching tonight knows what they think the head of the CIA.

Who had to know it is well.

Said something completely opposite now I don't know what he heard this or not the Charles Krauthammer once one of our Fox News analysts here.

He implied today on special report that Petraeus may have consciously misled.

The country.

Because he was caught up in this mistress stuff that the Obama administration know about.

And tomorrow when Petraeus comes in front you guys are you gonna go down out.

-- Well we will ask General Petraeus the hardened tough questions.

Frankly I don't think he would do any thing.

That would be misleading and I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.

Because I have great respect for -- confidence that he's gonna tell us the truth about it whatever it is but.

We'll see from him.

Tomorrow with respect to that I'll give it but I had to go must respect for the general as well I think he's a patriot but he already -- let us.

Your in -- left us on September 14.

So he either did it and he's got to explain that why he did it heated did it consciously or unconsciously but he already misled us senator.

Well and you better believe he's going to be asked about it tomorrow can I can -- get me into that hearing cannot.

I don't know very good Q clearance will let your -- Biden well.

The main problem my whole life here I'd look it is serious matter -- wanna bring a little levity into it but look.

It looks like there's something rotten here these something rotten here at the highest levels of our government.

Would misleading the American people when everyone knew from the second day September 12.

By cables and in an eyewitness reports was a terror attack.

Final question you see president Obama's press conference yesterday did you see it.

I did I'll get -- parts of it he won't even answer the president when he was informed about the attack.

Citing the investigation.

Are you kidding me.

All he has to do is say look here's who told me and this is the date they told me and that doesn't impeding the investigation doesn't.

Listen I agree a 100% actually tell you what I know about what he knew and when he knew -- he came.

And he should he on a level where the American people -- we got four dead Americans.

And we -- getting more and more emotional about this when you see the the folks in the White House and within the administration not putting some urgency behind giving them.

Right kind of answers that to the American people and show on the American people that by golly we care about those poor Americans yeah you really don't see that coming out of this right now -- I go get him tomorrow senator are okay and we'll talk it gets and I thank you very much for -- And a factor will be.
